The ***OFFICIAL*** F@H Harassment and discussion thread!!!

[coo-coo-clocker]

Sweet!

Now to get everyone else on the same wake up call!

[Sparky]

I agree. Seems most everyone that used to be in here when I was originally here has up and gone. I haven't seen most even post anymore

I want to know what kind of upgrades Angra did recently however! over 2 million PPD

[Big Deel]

I am still lurking and fired up a client for a slice or sliver of the daily pie

[Sparky]

I had to shut off for a bit again. Got too warm in here and the power bill was a little scary looking between the card and the AC running more. But once it cools down again I'll fire her back up.

[jimwah]

Turned in my first WU for a few years :P Hope what's left of us here are all still well. Got my work machine folding (stock i5 3.1Ghz) and maybe my Q6600 next week, if I can park it out of the way in the comms room or under my desk somewhere around here.

Got a bundle of ATi 5450 cards on the shelf, presumably crap for folding? Started one on my card and it predicted 9 days to complete oO

[Sparky]

SUP!

Glad to see you pop back in.

yea, the 5000 series is a little dated - not sure they can run the newest WUs. if you want to check, enable beta WU's for the GPU slot(s) "client-type" = "beta"

then look for "core 17" WUs. if you get them, you should get decent points - these are the first GPU specific cores that include bonus points. my 680 GPUs get about 95k ppd for a 2k base point WU that takes about 3 hours to fold. granted, a 5000 series won't match that, but it might still make decent points (?) note: there might be 2 types of cores 17 - one takes (i think) 14 hours, not sure off the top of my head though...

dumb question: why did you post this in a yr old harrassment thread? :P

[jimwah]

Hey Sparky & bds

I can't believe the PPD numbers these days, I think I hit 7k ppd in the old days running about 10 boxes Might give up on the AMD cards then, not sure which WU it picked up but a 9 day turn around doesn't sound right! I did have an 8800GTS somewhere but not sure what happened to that, might have a search this weekend, could go well in my Q6600.

Bumped this old thread as it didn't seem worth making a new one, and this was where the banter used to take place Gotta say XS seems kinda quiet, not just the F@H section either!

[bds71]

your not wrong, unfortunately. me and gimpy usually have some back-and-forth going, but even that's tapered off a bit lately. I would love to see more activity going on!! it's good to have another folder taking up the cause

[Gimmpy224]

^_^ just been super busy lately.

[Sparky]

Well, this IS the ***OFFICIAL*** harassment thread that isn't going anywhere, so that's what this is for

[[XC] Synthetickiller]

Could someone harass this mold out of my life so I can keep folding on a normal schedule? Anyone? lol

I'm still battling this nightmare 30+ days later.

[bds71]

ouch - I thought you moved out of that house? or are we talking about persistent health issues? if that's the case, i'll put in a word with the big Guy upstairs I hope everything works out for you!

[jimwah]

Seems like GPU folding kicks out the points... I really must get my head around this. Last time I folded GPU points, the client was in beta iirc, and I was using an old Ati X1900Gt (which died in the process!)

So I got the machine with the Q6600 in, and dual PCIe slots, and a ton of these old Ati 5xxx series cards - can I run 2x dedicated GPU clients on this? Is there a seperate GPU client available? I need instructions that a chimp wearing a fez could understand, and I'm not finding that on F@H site at the moment :P

Don't want to scrub along at 1.5k ppd forever, got some old names ahead of me (Windforce/hipno) and I want to kick their arses while their not here to defend themselves - yes that's true English honour

[Gimmpy224]

Just sold a few firewalls that a client was throwing away for 250$ each so hopefully my new pc will be built in the near future.

I did. Everything is out, but mold spores adhere to everything. Despite cleaning, you become more sensitive as time progresses with exposure. I ordered a fogger, so we'll see if unactivated chlorine dioxide does the trick. I'll activate the stuff if I have to, but I'd rather not for health reasons.

I still have a few tricks up my sleeve.

[bds71]

I still have a few tricks up my sleeve.

that's good to know - I sincerely hope everything turns out OK!! good luck!!

Pretty sure you only need one client for it. It is quite a bit better developed now than it was way back when. I remember having to fiddle with a billion flags and stuff to get it working right... And even then having issues making it stay working

BTW I fired up my GTS250 again, but only from about 5 PM to 9 AM when I'm not at the office needing my PC. With the client running it makes it nearly impossible to use the PC.

[Gimmpy224]

Just noticed im still hanging on to 15th

0,0 time to begin planning another setup of client machines

[Sparky]

Heh I don't think I'll be much of a threat.

[bds71]

hehe beep beep <waves as he passes>

[Sparky]

Hey look, activity!

http://folding.extremeoverclocking.c...hp?s=&u=187109

Wow. Not bad for a GTS250 running only 15 hours.

[Gimmpy224]

hehe beep beep <waves as he passes>

crap! looks like i have about 12 hours till i'm overtaken.

0,0 time for drastic measures!

[5pot]

Well, I'll be crunching here until GPUgrid gets their apps capable of running GK110. Currently at almost 500k PPD.

Don't know where that places me, but would rather be here than Einstein@home atm.

That would be a HUGE boon for the team. Enjoy and stay a while, or forever.
