Finally got the 4080 an d 4090 folding in the same rig under Linux. Started out with a Pci-e 2.0 mobo, but the PPD was 20% lower than expected. Stole the X570/Ryzen 5600x out of my main rig and now I'm seeing expected production. Pulling 825 watts at the wall socket and producing between 50 to 60M PPD at this moment. Waiting for a PCI-e 4.0 riser cable arriving today and then I will post pics. Cards are only spaced 1/2"
from each other right now and the 4080 is feeling the heat(76c).

Both cards are running stock clocks as the GWE app only controls one card. Gotta work on that.

I might have to join the green camp for F@H since AMD can't/won't get their head out of their ass on compute and they gave up the CUDA translator software and pulled their active copy from the net....

825Watts isn't bad at all for the raw performance.

I gave up on AMD back in 2008 when I was trying to fold on a HD3870. Went Green & Black and never looked back.

Looks in awe of Phils 3090. Oh well. We do what we can do. Gratz on the score Buck!! Man it is great to see the participation in chat and folding once again.

I think some more pics of people rigs would definitely get the blood flowing for everyone I need better weather to get mine all working because I seriously couldn't afford the electric that these things would need to run 24/7 lol

Would love to see members posting their systems up

There ya go phill. Went full in on RGB and 98% of the time it is retro cyan and magenta. It's not just looks though, as you obviously know, I fold on a MSI Gaming X Trio RTX 4090 24/7. The processor is a Ryzen 9950X, and it's kept pretty cool by one of the new EK Nucleus AIOs.

Since I stole the Mobo/CPU from my main rig for Folding.... this is what I'm currently surfing on. My HTPC is a Silverstone Milo with a Gigabyte B450M DS3H Wifi & Ryzen 5600G. Snappy little machine and it's a downloading demon for media. Never mind the wiring mess

I had one of those boards for a cheap Covid work/school from home build, then played around with it when kids went back. I noticed the SoC VRMs ran pretty hot so I glued some small aluminum sinks on there.

Just when I thought the Folding rig was running great, it crashed today and Linux will not recognize either card. I booted into Win 11 and folded for 1/2 the day, so it's not hardware related. I was using an old Install from another mobo, so I'm scrapping it and re-installing Ubuntu 24.04. Gonna remove the cards and add them one at a time. Should be back up to full capacity on Tuesday.

 

[neurotix]

That's unfortunate. I know a guy who had like eight 4090s, and he had a server mobo with a Xeon and had four 4090s all watercooled. It worked for a while and then he decided to mess with it, and then only two of the cards were showing up in f@h and the second one was getting horrible PPD. This was in Windows and probably with the v7 client. He even tried Linux Mint and some instructions I gave him and could never get them all working. He ended up selling them all.

@neurotix . I got Ubuntu loaded Monday night then found out I was folding for 12 hrs anonymously for team 0. My info was in the client, but would not imprint on the WU's. Then upon restart, my cards were un supported in the 8.3 Fahclient. Out of frustration, I took a 24 hr break and regrouped. This morning I downloaded the V7 Fahclient and everything is working great now. Going to stick with V7 for now, as 8.3 Webcontrol is buggy in Linux.

 

[neurotix]

Yeah I haven't had any problems with V8 so far after switching to it around the middle of December, other than it refusing to change my team back to TPU when I was temporarily folding for a Foldathon at ExtremeHW. It went three days folding for them until I finally got the client to change back teams by logging out and logging back in and setting it (I wonder if this would have worked in your case). I was in California and using the remote administration so I couldn't sit down at my machine and fix it.

Mind you, I had issues with V7 too like rebooting and then all of a sudden I'm folding on my processor on all cores instead of my GPU. Can see the changes in config.xml. I have a backup of that file in my home folder so I generally just open /etc/fahclient/config.xml in a text editor and paste the GPU slot back in, while the folding client is paused, and usually rebooting after that makes my 4090 appear again with no processor present.

I'll admit, I'm a pretty big fan of V8 now that I am used to it. It's great to see stuff like work unit details, or see the log in a GUI interface instead of needing to open /var/lib/fahclient/log.txt in a text editor, and to do it all remotely too.

I have a problem where V8 decides to delete my passkey once in a while. I'll see my points plummet on phil's score card, then sure enough my key is blank. Happened 3x already.

 

[neurotix]

Yeah both V7 and V8 have bugs. And you're not even in Linux where it's worse or potentially is.

There is a Beta 8.4.9 available that I am going to try at the 1st instance of trouble with V7. The release notes for the Beta specifically lists "unsupported GPU's upon restart" has been fixed.

On another note, LACT OC Tool has support for Nvidia Overclocking. Running it now for fan control and working on enabling Core offsets. Handles multiple GPU's as well.

 

[neurotix]

Nice, I will have to look into that tool compared to GreenWithEnvy (which works great for me as I only have one card). Just interested in what it can do. Thanks for the heads up.
