Those little annoying F@H things ..

Yup, even under my monster water setup I'm idling at above 50c.

I've started up again but I seem to have got a WU that just continuously crashes FAHCore after I had to reboot.

Yup.

I'm pretty sure we hit 32c at one point and in my room full of kit, it was DEFINITELY hotter still.

I solely fold bigadv atm, and I was even planning an SR-2 setup in the near future, but I don't really have a problem with this. The last batch of huge -bigadv units were valued ridiculously high and almost made GPU folding not worth it. There was just a huge discrepancy in points and I did not like seeing the ppd inflation that those bigadv units were creating. Remember when a unit was worth 20 points? Now a single unit can be worth a couple million

So I'm ok with them scaling those units back a little bit.

On another note, some members at [H]ardOCP think that the timing of this change is very coincidental because it happened right when they started to gain steam on team EVGA for the #1 position. [H] relies on bigadv much more than EVGA..
 
So my A/C didn't kick on today... I got home and it was 91 degrees F in the house. My poor computers were all running 15 degrees hotter than they usually do, and the whole house sounded like cranking computer fans! I think I managed to ghetto engineer a fix, but hopefully my landlord will get this thing replaced soon.

Pausing Folding till the house cools down, this A/C unit is only half the size this house needs anyway and I don't need it fighting 700 watts of computers to fix the temperature in here!

EDIT: Back up! Only took about two hours for the house to cool down to normal levels, less than I expected. The GTX275 is temporarily offline while it's being migrated to a more beastly computer.
 
A/C died entirely. Oneunit's running on everything and it's getting shut down for at least a day, as the A/C guy won't be here till tomorrow afternoon.

EDIT: I kicked the outside unit and the fan spins. I hate that damn thing.
 
And for my most recent visit to this thread (it's really turning into VoraciousGorak's venting thread, isn't it) not only did my A/C finally die overnight (I can't even force the fan to spin, the rain last night murdered the rusty fan motor at last) when I tried to wake my computer up to shut it down for the day, it went ahead and took care of that before I could tell it what to do.

I think the power supply is dead. Corsair 750TX powering a single HD 6950, a 2500K, two hard drives, and an SSD. Not exactly heavy load, even at full Folding load, but I can't even look at it till I come home from work IF the A/C is fixed. To say that I'm annoyed is quite an understatement.

I'll probably be paring down my Folding a bit even after the A/C is fixed, a couple of my systems are running pretty hot even with the A/C running full.
 
Tried to recruit two other machines for folding, unfortunately both have Radeon X1650 GPUs which through farther research was only supported by the defunct GPU0 client. Then getting hit by 78XX projects which on dual core Core 2 Duo and Athlon X2 with 1600 point SMP work units. Not worth it running these machines solely just for folding ("Oh no, he did not just say that. Traitor!").

Going to finish these WUs then maybe I might start again on these machines with someone using them for day to day work, and have FAH in the background out of sight.
 
My bad!!!!

Two comps with 2 cards each down since last night and longer
sad.gif
, one comp had the cards down for 4 days with -bigadv still working.

All back up and running again which explains a few poor days PPD for 98860.....only around 50K PPD loss

Feel like a bloody idiot. Wasted a day or two trying to clone from one boot hard drive to a two drive RAID 0 array, that didn't work a few times with a few different workpaths. Then tried using Acronis instead of the Norton Ghost I had been using all along, now I have a WINLOADER error on my source drive even though I tried to force Acronis to leave my source drive alone.

I can see my files are intact on my source drive while plugged into a different computer. Currently I'm trying a couple of 1 drive to 1 drive clonings, I'll dig out the AX850 from the Fortress since the older computer's PSU has only a single SATA power plug, then back up the essential files to a couple more drives. If worse comes to worst, I might have to dig into the budget earlier for a Windows 7 fresh install, it'd be super if I can figure out the prerequisites for this OEM pack business; if I'm feeling silly I might even dig deeper for that SSD.

So that's one weekend of folding gone, one weekend of my computer been on and not doing something useful. Hopefully I'll get my computer out of this coma soon so I shoot into the million points club.
 
My i7 clients have all started to run at several hours per frame instead of minutes..
mellow.gif
They're now off until I can fix it (and it had to happen today, my first day back at work in 2 weeks..).

AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRHHHHHHHGGGGG!!!!

GPU tracker has been crashing when starting a new WU for the last two day and I have lost a few hours the last couple nights/days because of it
angry.gif


I've deleted the SMP folder and made a new one and it seems to have fixed it, only time will tell though.

Finally got my only rig up and running, even with an open-bench-like setup, I suspect the latest Nvidia drivers (275. 33) doesn't seem to like the same mild overclocks for folding.

I run a heavy overclock on my 560 ti hawk (1030mhz with +150mV core and +30v Aux) and it has been folding constantly for the last couple of days without any problems max core temp 69c, fans dont spin up really either.

Im using 275.33 nvidia 275.33 drivers
