I think its gonna blow.... lol

Let's know what happens. Is the log showing any progress?

 

[mx500torid]

yep it finished 86000 points. Sure was funny though.

Did it show the same PPD through the entire work unit?

 

[mx500torid]

I dont know I was asleep it finished about 15 minutes before i woke up. It was that way for over an hour when i dozed off.

My 970 is idle. Its on windows and accepting any work, although I prefer core 17's. I don't understand why it is idle though. My 750ti's still have wu's, core 17's at that.
Edit: Nevermind not idle anymore.


Due to the lack of feedback lately, and my general feeling of completeness, I hereby open up the charts thread.

Let's try this again... GTX660 Ti is enlisted again, this time with an i5 2400 and an MSI H67 G43 mobo. I'm thinking previous issues may have been from running in such an old motherboard (DFI P35).

 

[mx500torid]

OK guys i think I might be on my way to my first 1 million ppd day. Got my fingers crossed. Welcome back hat.

Hopefully... I feel small as shit with my 660ti putting out 69k right now in the face of the newest cards... but it's something!

 

[mx500torid]

no such word as small in this fight.

On core 18's you got 67k, my 970 80-100k depending on which project on core 18's. I am also at 1400+ mhz and have 320 more sharers compared to your 1100 mhz 660ti. For how much extra shaders and mhz I have your quite close to the 970. It still for a good cause no matter what.

 

[hat]

This 660 is supposed to be one of the better ones. I think it's running better now with the new system.

Go for it MX!!!!

Welcome back @hat !!!

Yep huge milestone for me 1,032,854 and 1 more update to go.

Well, you did it bro.....and quite handily at 1.2 Million. Congrats @mx500torid !

My GTX 970's arrived yesterday and I proceeded to install them into the miner rig/K9A2 Platinum. Figured I would clone the HDD on the Ubuntu 14.10 install that I have running, but that failed miserably(would not boot). I will perform a fresh install tonight and should have another 600K PPD up and folding. I'll try @james888 X-Server hack tomorrow night and migrate all the cards into the Miner. I hope this rig scales properly with 4x GTX970's. I'll post pics when I get all the cards settled into their new home.

P.S....I might bring on 2 more cards for a total of 6.Still a little spooky especially when we ran out of P9201 in Linux last night for a couple of hours until Stanford reset the assignment server. Hopefully there will be no shortage of P9201's.

My Thermaltake 1350 power supplies arrived yesterday along with the other Antec P280 case( I love those cases 69.99 0n Ebay free shipping) so tomorrow Im going to put the 290xs together in one and try to attempt to shut down a couple comps. I got a HD 7950 boost, a GTX 660 Ti and a 680 that are going to fold until I get them sold to buy a couple more cards. I would do it today but I want to see if i can hit that magical 1 Million again today.

The bigadv era is ending real soon right? With 6 x 970 you will still be getting the big slice of the pie if Stanford stays on their toes and keep them 9201s comming. With the 1.2M day that mx had you might have some diet days

Yes, Bigadv is ending Jan 31st(give or take) and I'm only getting P8101's on both servers now. 850K PPD for 1600W consumption(531 PPD/watt) is not looking too favorable right now. I figure 6-GTX970's & x6CPU would consume 1200w and produce approx 1.8M PPD(1500PPD/Watt). I'm already getting 1255 PPD/Watt with the dual 970's I have folding currently on a 80+ Bronze PSU. Triple the efficiency of the servers is what I am aiming for. There will still be some SMP work for the servers, but the ERB will be diminished, as will efficiency. Just doesn't make sense to run them anymore for F@H unless things change for the better....

Understandable. Didn't I see somewhere that you are going to use a decent efficient PSU in your new setup? I can't understand that anyone building their own system don't get a +92 % PSU (rant).

I have a EVGA Supernova Gold G2 1000w PSU to power the 4 cards when I combine them together. I may just run the 4 cards in the Miner rig and run the other 2 970's with a 750w Gold PSU in a separate rig to cut down on additional costs of upgrading the Miner rig to handle 6 cards. It would have been awesome to have 6 cards in one rig, but prob cost prohibitive if I already have other rigs laying around.

My 660 seems stable. It's run now for over a full day without issue.

 

[BUCK NASTY]

Got the GTX 970 cards #3 and #4 folding in Linux. Don't know if it's a limitation of the MSI K9A2 Platinum or the Phenom x4 9850, but I'm only getting 586K PPD out of this pair at the same clocks. 1st pair is pulling about 610K PPD. I'm gonna swap cards around and see if it's the Mobo/CPU limiting production. Also gonna change out the 9850 for a Phenom II x4.

Remind me are you running them in two separate rig? Be a good boy and update your SS. Which rig is doing better? I posted my own findings some time ago around same speed GPU in different rigs but all that I got back from the forum was that an old Windows install might be slowing things down. Rubbish. I'm sure that your CPU is slowing it down.

I have had a couple GPU 13000 unit hangs, I adjusted the clock speed on my 7970 down 10Mhz, still only running 42C under full load, CPU is at 54C at 4.2ghz and full utilization.

If you can run your 7970 @ 1240 GHz that is good. I had to go below 1100 lately also after some 99,99 % hanging WUs. OK my GPUs runs a bit warmer but still you seem to had a good one.
