I have that page saved as top producers for the day.

It's the same stats page that shows how much I own El Tigre

 

[p_o_s_pc]

how long does it take of folding before the PPD on the stats page(s) I have been folding for about a week now and my average PPD on the stats page is alittle over 2k when FAHmon is showing 5k-6.1k almost all the time. so how long till i stat seeing that on the stats

EDIT:hat are you still folding?

Are you Folding 24/7?

WOW 62K yesterday.....What you think Buck?

I seem to remember having this 50K challenge with someone.....hmmnn.......You know who you are

 

[El Fiendo]

Yea, and I said it right when I posted 51500 PPD. It was me saying you challenged me to 40k but I wonder if it should have been 50k instead.

At any rate, rig 3 is down whilst I wait for a processor. I had an E1400 in so I could test my components but I've since removed that and am sending it back to its generous donor (for my testing purposes). From there I'll probably be switching over my processors to WCG so I'll drop 7 or 8k to be high 30s to mid 40s depending on WU allocation.

I'm only switching my processors now because I had just spent 20 some dollars and a bunch of time to get the VMWare clients working on USB sticks. Right when the partnership came up that is. I wanted to at least get some of my money's worth out of my time and the USB stick purchase. I'm going to retire my office computer from WCG (as it really shouldn't be crunching lol).

From there? Dunno, might be switching out some of the Mobos I have to 3x PCI-e slots and grabbing some more GTX 260s. Most times they don't get higher than low 70s on temps on 511s but I'm not sure how 3 in a box will effect that as opposed to 2. Meh, I'm playing the waiting game with time (and my power bill thanks me).

Question though. I own a TX850, an Antec TPQ 850 and a PCP&C 750. Aside from PCI power cables and needing 6 of them (2 per card), which of these guys don't have the balls to run OC'ed quads and 3x GTX 260s 216s? Oh, my E8500 might also be slated to be turned into a quad. Have to see. But so far I've got a Q9450, and probably would be getting Q9550s to go in rigs 3 and 1.

have been till last night i stopped it for about 30mins to play a game then right back on. It shouldn't affect my ppd that much...should it?

The TX850 I know can run 2 OCed GTX260 (I have that setup now) along with my i7 and I think a third one would also be fine. I seem to remember someone running 2 GTX295 on a 850 Watt PSU so I think it's doable.

30 minutes should not make that much of a difference. Check all of your (username) (team number) settings. If you select each of the jobs in FAHMON, and you have (show/hide WU Info panel) selected under view, it will show the (username)(team number). Even a space can make a difference, which seems to be a common occurrence around here.

So anyone know why my graphics get bogged down in win7 but not in xp64? Do I seriously need to set from low to idle? Why under a vista based os? Sorry, but this is annoying to me....

 

[El Fiendo]

I can't think of any reason why it would. My Win 7 and Vista install are 100% smooth with folding and each has at least one VMWare client and 2 GPU clients running. Dual core, same amount of memory. It doesn't make sense as to why it was stuttering. Pretty sure my GPU settings were 'low' before I got a separate priority managing program.


@POS

Your daily average is taken from over 7 or 8 days, and you've only been folding for what looks like 5 (since coming back). So this will even out in time.

Most times Fahmon is all theoretical numbers where actual numbers would yield you ~85% of what it reports. This is simply because of WU distribution. For instance, if I had all my assets running I was hitting between 51k and 53K with Fahmon usually reporting 53-55k, however with a list full of 511s (it happened) I was getting more like 40k-42k. Between 4 and 5k is probably about what your 8800GT would be pulling (which it shows in the actual numbers on your stats page). My average throughout this time would have been about ~44-46k. Unfortunately I shut my rig down as it was running a test core (thus not long term).

Man, nice work. I was watching and saw this in real time yesterday. Congrats on throwing down some big numbers.

All 3 PSU's should have enough balls to run 3x GTX260's. Just make sure you balance the PCI splitters evenly across all the rails. I run 2 o/c'd 260's/e8400@4.05Ghz/8 fans/watercooling on an Antec EA650 with no issues watsoever. I say go for it. How long before your back up and running? Take a look at the numbers and you will see we are missing you already. Let me know if there is anything I can do.

1/2 hour = 1/24th of you daily PPD based on 5K would be 208 ppd. Don't sweat it. Play your games and remember that we do this for the science and not the points. Huh, I can't believe I just said that!

Just so you know I have a man crush on you.

Aside from that it shouldn't be too long, I'm keeping an eye out for good priced q9550s hitting the market in Canada here. Unfortunately that processor is hot beyond belief right now. As are Q9450s. They get snapped up fast. Though Intel did just mention a price slash on 45nm quads so, maybe I'll be buying fresh off the shelf.

I've got my fingers in a couple of contests (with lists brimmed to the top with upgrades for rigs) so maybe those will bring something nice as well. I just need to clear my plate of overtime work and getting roommate(s) to help financially.

 

[BUCK NASTY]

Crappy day! Came home tonite to find all rigs idling. Power must have gone out 5-6 hrs ago. Running full bore to try to make it up.

 

[hat]

EDIT:hat are you still folding?

What's the matter, cant see me behind your cloud of dust?

I only fold at night or if I know I am going to be away somewhere for a while (the latter doesn't happen very often)

I had to take my voltmod off because SOMEHOW the pot burned itself(talking about the electrical kinda pot not the kind that gets you high) i smelled something burning and my screen went blank i was like SHIT *turns rig off by PSU switch opens case smells it coming from video card stops takes a second to think...cuts the wires off grabs the pot burns fingers from how hot it was,starts rig again sees post screen starts folding now hears high pitched sound that pisses him off)

I am going on vacation Saturday and are going to be gone for about a week not sure if i should leave it run or give it a break...My break is going to be chilling on the beach at Florida

 

[hat]

needs LESS jiggawatts

 

[p_o_s_pc]

needs LESS jiggawatts

by that do you mean less voltage? I liked folding at 800/2100 (i got it stable at higher clocks then posted before )

and is it possible to use LESS and JIGGAWATTS in the same sentence i thought it was impossible in the computer world

 

[Solaris17]

Mind, talk to Bogi. He has one GX2 folding. I personally think is a great deal. You will get 10K+ PPD with it.

i have 2 GX2's and on a good day ill do over 20 avg is 22-24k

 

[bogmali]

Sounds about right, any OC on them?

 

[bogmali]

We are now ranked #62 team...........Great job everyone

 

[BUCK NASTY]

We are down to 53 active members, so it's time to start recruiting again. If you have any ideas on how to increase our member count, please share.

 

[El Fiendo]

Well, I had originally been thinking that we could have a folding contest since around early May. When Paulie asked for ways to increase the WCG output I had suggested a contest then, however it was a WCG contest. This lead to the WCG contest going on at the moment.

I still think a folding contest could work, but unfortunately we don't have sponsors or likely any connections to any sponsors. It'd have to be member provided. We could either work off member donations, or we could say a $5 buy in (if we had 50 participants that'd be a 1 in 50 chance for $250 dollars). Unfortunately being of a small user base we don't have alot of options unless someone gets really generous. The 50/50 buy in thing is more gambling than it is a contest.

I've seen some teams make up ads that member place around their town. Like the tear off strip ads on community peg boards. It does kind of seem like whoring out though but it does get the word out there.

 

[crazy pyro]

If anyone has a small computer shop you could sell computers with windows preinstalled and be running F@H on them? They wouldn't notice and if they did you could very easily say you were doing it out of kindness. Then you could also say that if you can't be reached to visit TPU or something?

 

[El Fiendo]

Well, that starts becoming illegal. It's kind of alright when you do it on your friend's computer. Kind of. But that just applies F@H as bloatware when its done through business sales. It kind of puts it in a bad light.

 

[crazy pyro]

Hmmm, I guess. You could always ask if they wanted to run it and if they seemed interested explain it to them?
