Hmm I Have three idle GTX 285's ... let me toss a coin :p:
Idle? IDLE?!! BLASPHEMY!! :rofl:
YEAH ! Blame nVidia I have the same problem :p:
I know I should beat myself for being interested in this after 3 GTX295 RMAs but I have to admit that I want to know if anyone on our team is folding on one of the single PCB 295s? Any experiences with temps or durability?
Ask me again next month......although I can't make up my mind if it should fold or grid and 2*275's or 1*295singlepcb.
The summer temps did their worst after a year of working well......With 1 1/2 dead gx2's here I'm still thinking that the two cards is a better bet.......Reported temps on the single card are only 5deg better.
I've seen enough issues with dual-GPU cards that I would say stick with single-GPU cards. They seem to be more trouble-free. But that's my opinion without having worked with any dual-GPU cards.
...and there I was hoping that these issues magically diasappeared with the shiny new single pcb cards. Maybe not lol. Well two 285's also produce good points. -_-;
I have 3 of the dual pcb GTX 295s. Windows doesn't know bleep about which card is which. Nor does F@H. Thanks to Nvidia, Windows and F@H, gpu 0 might change to gpu 6 on any random reboot. :rolleyes: That make OCing like playing Russian Roulette! 4 of the 6 GPUs on my main rig run stock clocks for the above reasons.
GTX 275s are currently best bang for the buck. I think 295s sandwiched together on a board like a P6T throttle down due to heat. Fahmon can show as little a 4Kppd. :( 275s run much cooler if your board has multiple PCI-E slots. They always show 6-8k ppd and max at 75-80C. I haven't been able to afford water blocks to test my throttling down theory. 4 of my GTX 295 gpus are always 105C. :shrug:
That just can't be right in the long run! :eek:
But yeah, I guess single cards just are the better option for folding, when one dies, which is even less propable, you still have one running while the other is in RMA. Anyone ever heard what kind of failure rate AtlasFolder has? :rofl:
Last night, I had the fun experience of being woken up at 1AM by the smoke/fire detectors in the house. Presumably, the hot air from the room with my 16 GPUs came out and triggered some sort of delta detector that is set off by the difference in temperature between the other room and the ambient temperature. OR maybe it wasn't the "sauna" at all (because this has never happened before) and instead it was the rapid drop in outside temperature that caused the detectors to go off.
Anyways, just in case, I paused 8 of the 16 GPUs overnight and started them back up again this morning.
Skews the PPDs ;)
I must say I'm really impressed with i7.

Also, VMware Server rocks. I think there was a possibility to run 4 core VM's, need to find that. :D
Meh. You're lucky to get all four A2 cores. The most I have had in the last week was three at one time. Usually just 1 or 2. The A1 Cores have half the PPD :(.
Oh well, I'll fold what they give me. :lol2:
Yup, that's what I also do, but it's a nice start anyway. I haven't been so lucky with my Q6600, which I literally had to beat to 3.4GHz lol. Also, no problems yet with notfreds VM this time *keeps fingers crossed*.
I'm just so happy to be back in business! :)
Edit: Yay, two Palit GTX275 Dual Fan arrived today! Sadly I can't put them in right now because I'm still missing four 6-pin extensions, hope they'll be here soon. With them in my CS601 it's finally getting reeeeeally cramped in there... o_0;
Oh might council of Folding please let me ask a Question of great importance which piss... uhm bothers your minions.
Does anyone have OC'd i7 here and Folds on it ?
No matter what I can't make my piece of Silicium work correctly while OC'd and there are too many questions hanging above that I have to ask
members with working I7's.
920 owners prolly will be the best but I think on a wider scale it doesn't matter that much.
Voltages, Frequencies, Boards , Memories
I WANT EVERYTHING !
Oops :cord:
The screenshot above is actually an W3520 @ 4.2GHz with HT enabled. =)
Concerning Voltages, Frequencies, Boards , Memories , with all 4 of them there is so much variance there's no one that could point you to them except yourself. I'm running a DFI x58 T3eH8, which works for me and me chip. I'm also running 12GB of OCZ1600LV Plat sticks. Both are running just fine. What I hear is that Gigabutt and Assus boards are generally easier to get stable. The very beefy PWM on the EVGA Classified on the other side could mean very good long term folding stability. There's just too much choice.
But since already have that EVGA let me ask you this: how did you achieve your OC? Did you stability test it with LinX AND Prime (both are actually needed, since one tests vcore and the other IMC stability) for at least 8 hours? Is your chip properly cooled? Everything in the 80's and above is not ideal for long term.

Oh p2501 thanks for noticing so fast,
well my i7 is colled by dual P12ed Noctua , the tower TRUE wannabe , well greased
The main thing is , I put my memory modules to 7-7-7-24 800 MHz [ OCZ Kit the Platinum one 7-7-7-24 800 ]
And the thing dies in Like 1st test of Linx with a BSOD, that's with default voltages, so I was thinking that my i7 has a really :banana::banana::banana::banana:ed up internal memory controller and I can sit and cry.
When I beef up voltages a little it's still the same.
When I pull out 6 Gigs of the RAM's and work just with the 3 sticks [ 6 GB ] it's better yet still causes troubles.
I've been playing with this thing long time yet I never managed to get it stable. The CPU hates me or ... hates me.
I applied newest BIOS , sacrificed a goat .. I'm out of ideas
But I'll read through the attached links and let you know if I "Baconized" my CPU :hehe:
By the way I found our Forum Guide
http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.asp?m=...1&key=򜷟
Short , plain click here do that but looks similar to the 2nd one you posted.
Na I don't think you messed something up. What I can say is that you find something unstable and played around with all kinds of volts it's best to start from zero. Set you multi to like 15 and your bclk to 180. Below 200 You raise 10MHz per step, above you raise 5 until you reach 210, then your steps maybe be down to one MHz. Just try to find stability for the bclk you want first with very relaxed memory. If you've reached what you want you start slowly raising your multi to what you want it to be. Then follows RAM for which you first need to find the right VTT-DRAM voltage combination for your specific board and RAM, then you can fine tune timings. Memory is the key in getting your i7 stable, if your IMC or mem is unhappy, you won't ever have a stable system (that's why I proposed combining LinX with Prime and why getting your mem up to speed is the last step).
Prime must be run with blend or large FFT with all available memory, in-place unchecked. LinX also must be run with all mem available. :yepp::up:
With whatever you end up after this you should be stable.
I agree with p2501 even chip and rig are different.
There is already a tread where we discussed the best client for the Core i7.

Also there is a great guide for overclocking at:
http://deep-powder.net/OC_Guide/Mem_...king_Guide.htm
Hope those help.
Currently I do not overclock my 920 because of the heat buildup.
I think I fixed it with your help.
This looks much better

Doesn't it ? :hehe:
The CPU VTT was the co... ups roosterblock
Oh noes!!!! We helped him getting his i7 up to speed and now he's using it for the evil Berkeley guys instead of Stanford...:eek:
:rofl::ROTF:
I'm glad it works. :up:
Be what ? No no I'm dedicated to stanford I just can't get the 2nd GPU running because my 2nd LCD is in RMA and I don't have a spare Dummy plug and the MPICH or DENI something SMP clients aren't running properly at all ... prolly I need a OS reinstallation giving the poor old 7's a Try [ Rearm for the win ? ] and it will work. I need to find out what's the Operational Temp. range for VRM's on the EVGA X58 Board because of the OC they are hitting some very interesting temps... God damn I need IFX 14 for i7 with Quadruple P12's !
But when I sort these little things I could be back in business ...
I guess I misunderstood your 0 24h avg. combined with the marooned user name as you using your system for crunching instead of folding. Excuses, excuses. :p:
Hmm I got a Page in Nonpaged area BSOD I raised the Timings on memory and it's fine looks like +0.3V on half of the things didn't agree with VRMos the god of Voltage. WIll have to play with it then reinstall and then show you how one 4.2 GHz i7 and two 750/1700/2600 MHz GTXes Chew and spit WU's.
Crunching folding ... It's the same, we're using mass to feed our hungry hardware to chew numbers , spin atoms and grow crops to help the rest whom can't
But I understand the Folding Crunching Chewing Finger Chicken Licking trashtalk is needed :hehe:
Tried to lead you to the thread that I had to get help with my Core i7.
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=228068
The MPICH and DENI Windows clients do not run that well.
Using a virtual linux machine is the most productive CPU cruncher for those of us that do not want to go to linux os.
All you need to do this is the VMPlayer and nofreds folding client.
Here is a thread that explains how to install.

Heh, I need to do something about that :hehe:

Wohooo, after two weeks my new i7 975 is at home, now I need to grab the X58 Classified board because this gigabyte sucks poops like slurpies and I'll be back Arnie !
Thats where I wanaa be, but some members have been here much longer than I and make it hard to do.:( :mad: This is why I put my cards on the grid for now and it will still be a while before someone catches me at #12 spot
I am producing a whopping 4500-5kppd on my little 9800gt though
Your really going to have to step it up, since your folding like 1,000 PDD at the moment. According to this chart you posted that i did not modify. Cough Cough
http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/7088/29235783.png
But seriously, 24,000 points a day is defintaly a bjillion PPD from my perspective, i have a party if i break 10,000 in a day
fooook, well, I got a wrong board from my releaser he thought Gigabyte UD5 = X58 Classified, Poor man, I raped everyone in his office with the Install CD that comes with the board, well I guess I have to wait two more weeks bah :/ This is a wellcome gift from the god I presume
That's bad luck, that is.
You deserve a penalty for your trouble... oh, that's the other thread. :ROTF:
The tables have turned. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Nope, happens from time to time to me too. Wait some time and it will sort itself out. As long as it still runs as expected (comparable frame times) it's aok. :)
What kinds of WU's are you guys getting? i seem to be exclusivly getting 353 pointers, 57xx types on both cards
i keep getting NAN error and Untable Machine errors...

If you look at the project numbers above you will see they are all the same so it may be a bad unit ...try deleting the work folder plus queue and unitinfo from wherever your application data files are, then restart that gpu.
Another thing is temps can cause this as each overclock seems to have a different temp limit which when reached seems to cause "unstable machine" so if you have a stable machine with one card installed running shaders at xxxx it may not be so stable when you add another card.
got more unstable errors but on both cards now...deleted all the stuff and now their on 787 point work units. Hopefully they make it through the WU
EDIT: still running into errors on both cards

getting more errors and unstable machines....not sure how much longer im going to fold if stanford cant give me work units that freaking work. I dont have the time to constantly fix problems, i already got them running great for a week now they wont fold....looks like i might be selling some hardware soon
I think the wu's are fine, I haven't had an errored out one in a long time. Are you sure you cards or fine? Maybe to high on the shaders? I'm running a GTX260, 2 GTS250's, and an 8800gt, all have been working great for months.
4x4n Love your new avatar! That thing is sweet! :up:
I'm not having too many errors either. My 4870 stopped folding, but a reboot of the machine (which hadn't happened for a few months) fixed that.
Thanks coo-coo. My son did it for me, I suck at photoshop :D
still getting errors all the time on either card. Unstable machine NAN errors, cards just stop folding and i have to re-start the client.

not overclocked.

This is likely related to either a messed up client or your driver might also be borked, if you're really sure the cards are stable at the clocks you've set.
Steps to take:
1. Set up completely fresh work folders (no need to delete the old ones, this is just for testing), with freshly unzipped clients, you can copy the .cfg's
Still getting errors?
2. Check the card's temperatures. Are they fine (around 80°C is ok), nothing clogged up with dust bunnies?
Still errors even though everythings clean?
3. Drop the clocks until you're running without errors.
Still errors even at stock settings or close to that?
4. Uninstall drivers, reboot. Run driver cleaner. Reboot. Install new drivers. Reboot. Setup fresh clients, restart folding at previous stable clocks.
Still errors? There's only two chances now, either your cards degraded or your windows is borked. So either you work your way down until stable or you go the extra mile of excluding windows as source of error and then begin the whole shebang again. :shrug:
Edit: Just noticed that I missed that the card is not overclocked. Take what you need from this post then... :(
Are you turning up your fanspeed? This is something I get if I forget to set the fanspeed (I run 100%) ...try say 75%+ if 100 is too loud
Guys, anybody tried folding on a 5870 yet? Is it worth it?
I might try it.. though milkyway is just running so effordlessly, plus it's madly optimized to utilize all those nice stream shaders the ATIs have over the NVs...
Edit: Nevermind... it doesn't work yet. I got it to start up using the old forcegpu rv700 flag, but it shuts down immediately reporting a "serious error". Lol. Oh well, back to milkyway for now.
I'd be curious how it performs once Stanford gets the support out there for it.
I'm getting my last GTX260-216 that has been sitting around here for a few months up finally tonight! Yay :D
same speed as 4870 from what articles i have read. their gpgpu implementation dates back so far the newer gen inherits their old problems software wise. nvidia didnt have this problem. even the 4870 is cpu bound by 20% so the 5870 is even more bottlenecked. just wait for gpu3. it should bring 4x more ppd for ATi. the main reason they are slow is because the cache is not used as opposed to nvidia. if they had cache in r600 then they would be a lot better off. i am not sure how well molecular dynamics performs on ATi. i cant wait for gpugrid and gpu3 to have ATi cards fully utilized.
http://www.brightsideofnews.com/news...-as-4870!.aspx
i guess you could try forcdgpu ati_r700 like the article says.
There are ways of screwing with a bunch of settings to get the CPU usage down but it is a pain.
been folding for about a day and a half with no errors...maybe its fixed....temps are high 78C with fans at 80%.
how hot does your guys PSU's get? mines so hot on the back it nearly burns my hand to hold it there....and its making a buzzing noise...i sapose this is normal though.
I've run 5-6 cards/sides combinations of gx2 and 98gtx on both 1K SR and UCP 1100 and a single 295 with 4 gig x9650 on a 910 silencer and I'd say that they don't seem to even come out of Idle fan speed and certainly don't seem that hot. Is yours getting enough air, is the fan running up?
Uh, no.
What PSU you have? You really should not leave that thing alone if its doing that - you don't want
http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z...ning-house.gif
yeah, are you sure the fan is working? my psu under full load is slightly warm and there is no noise coming from it. you dont want to fry your hardware.
My PSUs on my two crunchers get pretty warm. Not burning hot, but definitely heat up the top of the cases.
its a 1,000 watt dell xps 720 H2C PSU, modded to fit a ATX motherboard. The fan is def working, there is a alot of hot air blowing out the back. its working hard powering my GPU's which are folding. Sensors are saying the rpm is about 2500...hopefully there is no massive implosion/explosion in the near future...
If it dies, assuming it doesnt take my whole computer with it, ill just buy a real PSU, its about time anyway
everyone stand back in awe of my amazing PPD
Sparky cant touch dis
Damn fine day yesterday :up:
wow, broke thru the 20K PPD barrier.
http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w...n222/Vader.jpg
does anyone know how extreme overclocking stats calculates its 24 hours point average? Is it a avg of the last 7 days?
I have a remote control ... if you're wondering why you aren't eating my PIE hahahahah
^ you are annoyingly staying exactly 100 points above me in PPD average. aarrggggggggg i want
ppiiee. when im 16,800, your 16,900, now im 16,400, your 16,500...where did you get this remote you speak of...newegg?
slow down sparky!!!! 54k today omfg i surrender!!
TALK ABOUT JATO ROCKETS!!! :shocked:

We need some more smack-down here in F@H land.
I guess everyone's thinkin about Turkey instead. :shrug:
Kinda hard to talk too much smack when just maintaining the status quo :shrug:
Though I did pull my old 9600GSO back out of retirement.
Yep it did come. Gotta get time to get it running now!
Oh man so i have the SMP running in Ubuntu under VMware player, but now i'm trying to get it to run as a service and trying to get Fahmon to run, what a headache:wth: I tried the folding site guide, anyone know of any others?
Sorry I haven't been folding in a while guys. Just got out of the military where I was in Georgia and had my utility bill paid for, so it was easy to fold 24/7. Now I'm back in Connecticut where the price for kilowatt is 18 cents:(. Don't worry I will be joining the ranks again once I move down to Florida where its only 11 cents and I want to get into a solar project. All this GPU power just going to waste :shakes:
Ouch 18 cents :eek:
Move to the midwest, sub 10 cent electric here :)
Yeah tell me bout it the calculations from the 9800GX2 rig from the other thread would have cost me $142/month.
My 9800GX2's for sale

We put in two big solar systems at work last year that produce more power than we use. So i convinced my boss to let me run my farm at work.:D
The first one we put in the smaller of the two cost just over 150k with about 50k in rebates from So. Cal. Edison. The second one cost about 225k with about the same in rebates.
This is always what happens. Have a holiday and the servers break :rolleyes:
Except my ATI card seems to be getting work ok.
Woot! 25,000,000 :yepp:

Well I'm moving my cpu's back WCG. I've been having to baby sit and force uploads for the smp's again and it's getting old.
I loaded the Windows smp on one of my systems I'll see how it works.
You know if it works it's going to make it that much harder for you to catch me again.:D
