finally back to the top 100

Weather is cooling down. I will probably pick it back up in a few weeks.

That is excellent news!

Looks like Team 64 is dying like Rage3d. There are only 6 of us still folding!

[luxor]

Looks like my system crashed. I won’t be able to get to it for another couple of days.

Hi Gang,
Been awhile since I checked in. My old heat pump A/C died and temp in home office hit 108f, but the 2 folders in there kept running. I think the 2 in the garage might not be running, I just haven't gotten around to checking on them. Only 10 active now, but understandable with the summer heat and vacations. Hope everyone is doing well, hang in there!

Thanks for checking in Jima!
It's too bad you're having issues, but with this heat it's not surprising. On my side a storm caused a power outage a few days ago but since I was out of town, I was only able to restart my rig today.

I'm throttling down guys. Summer is coming and its not friendly during the day to run it. May see some pokes and prods at night when its cooled off though and I can keep the windows open.

Hope to see you back in the fall!

I have been seeing some WUs with very high payouts and PPD lately.

https://apps.foldingathome.org/wu?p=17800&r=58&c=89&g=128#project=16570&run=0&clone=68&gen=3

Almost 850K and it was good for 6.8M ppd on my 3070Ti, that's 1.6Mppd over the previous best WU I had seen before.

They are good for my 3060 as well with over 3M ppd.

Congrats Turbo_Rage3d_ for reaching 2 billion points!

It's quite a humble day when I pass 1920x1080i-How???. I remember when I first started folding many many years ago, he was a legend. So seeing him move behind me, makes me remember those days and how far we have come since then.

And congrats for reaching 50 million points!

The Ides of March indeed, I'm glad to hear it was your psu going flakey.
I lost power last week some contacts burned out where the smart meter interfaces with the house. Once that was taken care of my Win 11 install really went sideways after the security update fun. sigh

Yea. so far thats what it seems like it was. Haven't had a crash like that since the PSU got replaced. Even got my Vega64 running a bit higher on clocks again. Back up to 1750-1780Mhz on the core and 1025Mhz on the HBM2.

I hope that will resolve your issues.

And it seems like you're not the only one having problems, www.extremeoverclocking.com is also down so I have to go elsewhere to look at the stats.

Welp, back up and running.

New Seasonic 850W Titanium PSU installed and runnin great.

[Crawdaddy79]

The hiccup on the stats site yesterday tricked me into thinking jima13 upgraded with 22M points for the day so far.

[luxor]

Having hardware issues on my folding rig... so will be intermittent until I get it figured out.

Bought a new PSU today, should be here Wednesday or Thursday. Hoping that fixes the problem.

I also noticed that Jimby was true to his word and stopped his clients yesterday. Thank you for your contribution to the project and I hope to see you submit a few WUs once in a while in the future!

[luxor]

Congrats 1/2_bent for reaching 1 billion points. Looks like he stopped his clients after reaching the mark. Thanks for your contribution!

[luxor]

Supposed to get to 80F today. Giving the 3080 a break!

I don't have that problem, it's currently -16C (3F) here.

Congrats AMD_US for your 100 million points!

What a difference going from a 6600xt to a rx 7900 xtx Still dialing things in I noticed that the AMD drivers are overclocking my already boosted clock speed of 2678 to 2990 ,Crazy default setting! I limited it to the normal boost speed in the cp and the junction temp dropped to 66c while folding. I've been working on a bios profile using the Asus overclock wizard in the bios by limiting the cpu to 3.7gz it allows for decent temps and makes folding on the cpu possible as well. Ryzen Master shows several power settings drop from red to yellow if I further limit is to 3.6 max by selecting office use instead of gaming all power settings stay in green. Strangely it allows to the 7900 to only use 230 w compared to 289 with only a slight drop in ppd.

This is great! Have fun tweaking your new toy!

And congrats for reaching 500 million points!

The inflow from Covid has long ended and with warm weather arriving in a few months, it will probably get worse.

On another note, it looks like DarkFoss is coming back strong!

[Crawdaddy79]

Will be a terrible loss!

Look at the active users graph:

[luxor]

Thanks, but I think that position will be temporary. I've been thinking about retiring from Folding. The cost of GPUs are just plain stupid now, rather not wear them out and have to suddenly pay an arm and a leg for another. Thinking the end of Feb will be the time for it.

I'm sorry to hear this but this is understandable. Your contribution to the team and the project will be dearly missed! But for now I'll enjoy seeing your 10 million+ ppd.

Just noticed that you passed me Jimby! Congrats for taking Rage3d's 3rd spot for total points!

[Maliki2]

I'm very sorry to hear this Maliki2. I hope your son's epilepsy is under control and can be cured one day!

2 years seizure free at this point. And he is 16 now, time to learn to drive, god help us. And that will always be a bit worrisome.

[luxor]

I want everyone to know that I appreciate this. My son was diagnosed with Epilepsy two years ago at 14. It's been a struggle, but we all need help with whichever health issue we have so seeing this type of help is appreciated!
Lost my dad this past year to heart disease as well so this is personal!

I'm moving a bit!

Yep. Cold weather has hit. Rig in stats is whats folding. CPU included. Wow. 1/2 bent really skyrocketed.. Wonder what he got? lol

[Maliki2]

I know it sucks but it happened to me as well in the past. Good thing you noticed it!

Slowly creeping my way. I'd be happy with top 50 at this point.

[luxor]

Not a good day today. I was messing around with stuff last night and some reinstalls. Noticed I have been folding ANON for awhile! Ugh.

Was thinking the same thing. Congrats on reaching 2 Billion points BTW.

Looks like 1/2_bent received some very fine gifts from Santa this year
