Just made it home and the rigs are coming online slowly. Lost all early return bonuses, so today/tomorrow will suffer for -bigadv. Did this really have to happen during the last week for -bigadv??? @mstenholm , there's nothing like watching your rigs crash from afar.

Sure, PITA big time. I can see that I get flooded with core_15. When I'm home there is a cure for that. Now the dogs gather in my office to enjoy the heat from them

With all the hoopla about GTX970 and the missing .5gb of ram, this might be a good time to pick up a few cards on the cheap. I'm already putting out feelers and retailers may start discounting soon.

Right on ! If the price is good I'd LOVE to try and get one ! @250-275 I'd try to sneak CC just to get it ! LOL
"You got CC ?!!!"

Are the folding forums still not working with microsoft emails? Their registration page says it doesn't. I could always try it anyway.

This is terrific thinking imo, and I'd love to be able to pick one up on the cheap. I'll be keeping my eyes open for a used one likely.

If anyone sees a good deal and can't go for it themselves, please share it here in the thread so we can take a gander as well

Wow, not too shabby. Despite hearing a few scattered Powercolor horror stories, I'd definitely consider that 290x...if only I had some funds right now....

Tis' a sad day for me and @johnerz . -bigadv has come to an end and Stanford has disconnected the -bigadv assignment server. My servers still try to connect to it 4-5 times before they get transferred to a SMP assignment server(Like someone drowning and grasping for their last breath). Currently folding a P8816 for 267K PPD. Not happy with the production and I'm switching the entire F@H farm over to GTX 970's. Ordering 2 more tonight for a total of 6. Should hover around 1.8M PPD daily. IT'S THE END OF AN ERA GENTLEMEN!

Opty 6180 4P had completed 756 -bigadv WU's in it's lifetime.

P.S. Opty G34 4P servers for sale!

 

[[Ion]]

That's a lot of GPUs!
Sad to see that the 4Ps are unable to get any more of those WUs

FYI, if you're interested, I have a few PCIe x1-> x16 risers if they'd help you cram more GPUs into one system. Happy to send a couple to you

 

[Steevo]

Laptop is in its bag at work in standby, forgot to plug it in and take it back out to fold for me, and PC has been busy all day so my output is down till Monday.

 

[mx500torid]

Sad day indeed. Really sorry for all the guys that put out all that money for the 4p systems just to get shut down like that.
Ordering a couple more 970s? Buck did you also get a couple more hamsters?

Hamster's better eat their Wheaties, cause the additional 970's are en route. Should have them up and running by Thursday Night. Thinking about picking up a couple more for an even 8 cards by end of the month.

Going to sell the Servers, so I'm cranking them up in WCG to showcase to any potential TPU buyers. If theres no team interest, off to ebay they go!

 

[johnerz]

Yes its a very sad time, I'll only be folding on the new 970 going forward from here, it might take me a day or two to see if I can teak a decent ppd out of the 4P but tbo I think its day is done

My 970 is having an issues as well sadly, I think it may be BIOS setting issue, but I have no idea what the setting is on my ASUS Sabertooth P67

I'm showing my memory only runs@ 1502 when folding and the PerfCap Reason is VRel (Limited by Reliability Voltage)

I suspect its a quick email to ASUS to see if theu can help - unless anyone on here can point me in the right direction?


Well the funny thing is I'm still picking up almost Big adv units on the P4 look at this:

View attachment 62354

I think that all 970 are VRel capped. My two has different bios' - one is maxed out at 1.206 V (newer BIOS) and the other at 1.218 V. I have the same memory clock. That is the default value.

 

[johnerz]

Yes but mine is only getting about 0.993volts, I'm looking for the bios option to increase that to the 1.206v or thereabouts, it will run with the memory @ 7400 on the Heaven benchmark but below stock on folding........

The sister case to the P280 is the Antec Eleven Hundred. Shell Shocker today for $40 after $30 MIR. With 9 expansion slots, these cases have no problem with 3 GPU's.

So I'm really, really tempted to get one of these for the Opty system since it's an eATX case for $40 after rebate. Any idea how sturdy they are/anything to look out for?

EDIT: Newegg claims it's eATX, but Antec says XL-ATX----anyone know for sure?

4P Opty boards are SWTX.... Your prob referring to another system, right?

Yeah it's for the dual-CPU Opty system (Budapest; the dual Opty 6238s on a regular Supermicro eATX board). The Spotswood case for the 4P system is great; no desire to replace it

I'm envious. Always wanted one of those extruded aluminum beauties!

OMG!!!! Cranked up the 6180 Server and I picked up this same WU(P8106). Any core A5 is so much better than A3. Currently running at 839K PPD! WTF???? Is this for real?

new core A5 projects: 8106-8108

It's being called "many core projects" by Pande Group and appears to be the 2nd coming of -bigadv. Sweet JESUS Yes!!!!! Don't know if QRB is applicable. Have to wait to see points awarded.

 

[thebluebumblebee]

I'd trust Antec. Although these cases (1100/P280) are so big that it's a shame that they didn't make them e-ATX compatible.

It will fit a 13" long gpu and iirc an E-ATX board is 13" wide. It looks like it will fit but will be pretty darn tight against or very close to the frame for the drive bays. It will also cover the wire management cutouts.

 

[BUCK NASTY]

Well she settled in at 825K PPD. If this holds true, I should be capable of producing 2.7M PPD daily with both servers and 4x 970's.

The problem is the depth. EATX might fit.
