The problem is the depth. EATX might fit.
Wiki: "true E-ATX is 12 × 13 in (305 × 330 mm)"
Antec: "The Eleven Hundred V2’s nine expansion slots and space for an XL-ATX measurement motherboard (10.3” x 13.6”)

Yeah, I'm not going to disk it. Pelenty of itme to figure out something by the time I need a case in May.

WU 8106-8108


Dr Kasson posted this today

Many apologies for the problems here. I was trying to ensure work unit availability for a smoother transition post-bigadv; in retrospect, it would have been better to accept a "gap" period for many-core-optimized work units and make sure that the rollout process worked properly.
What happened here was the following:
1. In benchmarking the work units, I mis-combined formulae and ended up with a k-factor that was substantially too high.
2. The very high bonus values that resulted triggered a safety threshold in the stats code, resulting in no bonus points at all for some work units.
3. We had a hardware failure on one of the benchmarking machines, slowing correction of this process.

We are in the process of fixing all three of these. Once these are done, we will proceed with a slow beta rollout. Be advised that PPD values will be lower--they were inflated substantially by the benchmarking mistake I made. Many apologies.


Oh dear, I wonder what the new ppd will look like?

Crap! That's not what I wanted to hear. I noticed that they pulled the P8106-8108 work units and I'm now chewing on P7504's for about 200K PPD each. At this rate, the servers are doomed with F@H. Kind of a sick joke in my opinion considering we were just starting to accept the end of -bigadv.

 

[johnerz]

Agreed but we will need to see how it all pans out in the end

Update

I've just checked my daily production figures.... and saw this for yesterday:

1,785,480

So it looks like they have resolved there issues, we just need to find out what the figures are for the 8106-8108 WU's to see if they are still worth it

I was not the way I was hoping to achieve 1,000,000 ppd

 

[thebluebumblebee]

I find it interesting who did get a boost in points yesterday.

I find it interesting who did get a boost in points yesterday.

Pande agreed to award the inflated points for the work units that were completed, but the next batch of WU's will have the lower production amount.

I could have gotten used to the following:
Opty 6180 Server - 830K PPD
Opty 6176 Server - 720K PPD

Where did that huge dump from @mx500torid come from???

 

[revin]

Well crud !!
I some how did a double do-do bo-bo
First I got a FBI ransom ware from a not so Adult site, that I have visited many times over year or so. It's mostly pictures,GIF's I like nonudes and yoga women ect....
So anyway Comodo failed. I got on top of that issue pretty good and pretty sure it was all gone[99% sure]

But I wanted to get a program to trck my GPU F@H stats, 'cause I cant figure out how to change that thing johnerz linked to.
Well I went to what appeared to be a reputable site, got the file, and it was deamon!!!

So at any rate got a fresh instll now and should be back up tonite or tomorow

When you get old your dumps get bigger

Almost quotable! Quite true also

 

[revin]

Crap ! Mine stated 30yrs ago ! In my 20's, Damn Chrons Disease
I'd sometime's plop out foot longs !

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.

Please tell me how to set that up
I tried, new, delete just bout everytab, couldn't get my info there.
It just reported some other team's stuff on the very bottem bar none of that stuff inside the window pane

Ok no problem, but first I need a little info

How many PC's are you folding with (the number of GPU's makes no difference) and are they/is it your main PC?

 

[revin]

Thank you @johnerz
Yes, just the 1main pc, 7950
It will be late beforeI can get back to PC
Still doing TPU Remebers Kreij
Thank you
i'm such a foobar

 

[johnerz]

OK

 

[thebluebumblebee]

Please tell me how to set that up

Took me a while to remember - when exiting HFM, make sure to save configuration (assuming that you've input your username, number and team(50711)). This is of course IIRC.
The user number for TPU_remembers-Kreij is 660150

Well guy's, the MSI K9A2 Platinum appears to have "given up the ghost". Won't post regardless of CMOS reset/CPU pull/reset Ram/R&R all wiring. I found it still folding, but with screen frozen/unresponsive. After reset, I've got nothing. I'm now in the market for and could use some help locating:

• 4-6 PCI Mobo
• preferably AMD 7/8/9 series
  
• AM2/3/+ My choice of CPU's to use are PII x4 B93/PII x6 1055t/FX 4150
• DDR2/DDR3 does not matter(I have plenty of both)
• CPU power socket must be 8-pin

Let me know if you find anything, as I have 2 more GTX 970's on the way from Newegg and I need a home for them.

Try @Xazax - he had a bunch of mining gear FS a while back and I believe he had a GB 990FX board with 4x PCIE slots at one time....

I almost mentioned to you that there was a local sale for a (IIRC) 790-GD80. Should know better by now.

 

[thebluebumblebee]

@BUCK NASTY , I also hope that your GTX 970's don't have the same problem as the Asus GTX 960 that tomshardware tested. I don't really know what effect that might have, but while momentary spikes to ~250 watts on the PCI-e connector (rated at 75 watts) may not have that much effect on a motherboard when you have one GPU, but when multiple GPU's are used, that has to effect the health of the motherboard. Wish they'd test other Asus GPU's.

 

[BUCK NASTY]

Motherboard search is over. I picked up a GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD7 on ebay. Won't have it for about a week. I'm going to throw 6x 970's together in the mining rack and have only one rig running. Those cards should keep the X6 1055t busy, but I hope the PSU is up to the task. May have to upgrade to a 1200/1500w unit.

 

[Nordic]

Beautiful board there buck. I would love to do a similar mining rig set up with 960's and a quad core but that won't be happening.

 

[thebluebumblebee]

I like the fact that it has an additional power connector for "VGA Cards", as they put it.

I would love to do a similar mining rig set up with 960's

Doesn't make sense. 2 x 960's would make about the same PPD as 1 x 970 but cost 20% more, according to PPD results for the 960 that we've heard.

 

[Nordic]

I was thinking more ppd/watt but it still might be inferior to 970s. I couldn't justify the cost or power usage cost.

I'm waiting to see what used 970's go for when GM200 comes out.

I might add a few more 970's to the farm if thy get cheap enough.
