Those little annoying F@H things ..

Had a machine down since Wednesday. Didn't know it was down, just noticed the PPD drop. It's back up now though so should see a small rise in PPD.
 
5. Some of them need replacing. Still have a Q6600 going strong lol. A 920 and a 930 that could use replacing as well. Also have a few lower end GPUs going.
 
No folding for me for the last week as the UK is going through a mini heatwave at the mo. This room is already hot & i don't want it turning into a sauna with 3rigs running lol

So, until the weather changes production will be zero i'm afraid :(
 
I had to RMA my 580, which is why GPU folding was on hold for a while. I have the replacement now (another 580), but won't be folding at the moment because of the super high temperatures.

I'm now working so I can save up for a dedicated F@H rig and get my PPD up to a much higher and consistent level.
 
Lost a machine today i7 950 with 2X 560TI's. not sure what happened but absolutely nothing to mobo no lights.....

Will mess with it tomorrow:(

I'm at the point now where I'd rather just replace everything than troubleshoot. I have one system with the failing card (replacement on the way) and another system that started randomly locking up last week. Then to top it off, the server I have running was getting 3PPD. 24 threads and a 3.5 day TPF. Not even sure what was going on there. I deleted the WU and started over. Now it's at about 40k PPD and an 8 min TPF.

I'm getting into the same frame of mind, with advent of Core 17 SMP doesn't make much sense run it if you can but don't plan a system around it. Maybe it's time to replace older stuff with cheaper mobo/cpu and spend money on gpu.

These new AMD cards I have run sooooo much cooler with much less power draw on PSU than my 4 & 5 series cards.

If it's a PSU I'll replace it and carry on, if it's mobo I may pass and up grade GPU on another system
 
One of the machines with a 7950 is down. It was still getting random lockups so I'm in the process of reinstalling. Should be back up tomorrow.

Edit: Had the machine up earlier today. All seems good now, the random lockups are gone. I'm pretty sure it was the SSD. I updated its firmware and did a secure erase before installing Win7.

Hope it all works for you!!:)
 
On a 8900 WU?

Ouch that's around 26,000 points if it's lost.

Had one on a nvidia card that was complete but would not send. Got to about 15% send progress and then was rejected by the server:(

"ouch" huh ?

guess as the teams real big time SMP folder "ouch" refers usually to a 300k+ point lost.

I think over the last few years I lost a solid 2 to 3 million points due to upload problems...

The last minor lost for me was today. I lost about 10k because of a folding mistake with the last WU. You will see what I mean when the other P8105 finishes... :rolleyes:

Yeah, it was a 8900.

Looks like it was lost, I have just checked it and from what I can tell, the client is folding the same work unit again, with an estimated PPD of 60000.

Bummer
