Jima13... Holy !@#$%^!!!!!!!!

From Stanford's side, one huge motivation for the quick return bonus is to attract faster hardware which can complete WUs faster, allowing for completed results to be subsequently generated into new WUs quicker, decreasing the overall cycle time for a specific project. The quick return bonus also serves as an incentive for us to get passkeys, which then helps Stanford in cases where a user is caught cheating.

Hehe, can y'all imagine if How??? was folding now? 600+ 1080's... Like 300MPPD :drool: :drool: :lol: :lol:

As promised.. 780Ti is gonna do some work for a few weeks.

Just fired it up. 780s really get about 200K/day?

Currently the card is running 1,045Mhz core(stock for this card). I told Erik I'd fold with this card so here it is.

Seeing some mad PPD popping up! :D

Almost makes you shutter at the thought!
 
Ran into some stability issues...

I think it was driver related. Hasn't happened since I updated drivers to 8.15 WHQL version.


Although it could be power related. Was running the GTX780Ti @ 1,045Mhz and the FX8320 @ 4.0Ghz @ 1.28V. 98-100% usage on GPU and 98-99% on the CPU. Voltages under load are 12.003V, 4.98V. So not sure whats up.

With my Nano, I cannot fold and use the GPU for anything else without stability issues (at least as of May - 'may' be fixed now :lol: ). It's strictly driver related in my case. It could have been driver related for you as well.

Speaking of which, all this PPD I'm seeing from the team is sweet! Starting tmw I'll start firing up the Nano again, at least have it folding while I'm at work. Should provide for a sweet boost.

I agree it's sweet, and all the activity in the distributed computing thread is nice too.

Firing it back up now. Guess we shall see.

Temps are fine too... 68-69c on the 780Ti @ 99-100% GPU load, CPU was running 28-31C TJ Max. Boosted the voltage on the FX8320 to 1.3v. Just gonna see if that fixes the issue. (I don't think it is as it was doing 4.2Ghz with 1.3V just fine)

Downloading Ubuntu.

Gonna try and get a second rig going. Running just a CPU client. Athlon64 X2 3800+ @ 3.0Ghz (or 3.2Ghz if I can still get it there). Its the old Socket 939 2x1MB L2 version. lol Its in a crossfire board so idk.. might be worthy of a cheap GPU farm.

-S939 A64 X2 3800+ @ 3.0Ghz
-2x1GB OCZ Platinum 2-2-2 DDR400 (@ DDR450)

Those temps should be fine. I fired up my Nano last night before bed, but paused it due to the incredible heat output :lol: So only at-work Nano folding until winter!

That'll work well for GPU folding. I was running a 680 on a similar configuration for a couple months back in spring. The PPD wasn't great, but a couple of 780s or really whatever laying around could give you some good PPD.

The 780Ti was running F@H @ 1,200Mhz all day today... :-\ Its got 3 WU's worth about 70K, 105K and 61K sitting in the "log" and just started a new one.

1,200Mhz @ 1.1700V (1.162 is base volt, 1.178V is boost volt but it seems to run fine with less..)

Last night had a BSOD again... Something with my NB/IMC. RAM might be going bad. Running the XMP Profile on it.. 9-9-9-(1T Command Rate) @ 1.5V DDR3-1866

"sitting in the log" as in they dumped or completed? BSODs definitely seem to be pointing toward hardware instability. You could try loosening the RAM timings, but if you can CPU fold on it without issue then I'd be more interested in things like PSU or GPU temps/voltage (though I think you ruled out temps in a previous post?)
 
It posted to PG.

Tested voltages with 2 different professionally calibrated voltmeters...

At 100% load, with CPU and GPU... I was drawing just shy of 268-272W from the 780Ti. (estimated from the software)

CPU was drawing about 89-92W.

This 780Ti is really pushing this SeaSonic PSU hard. :-(

SeaSonic says it'll handle the system though. (not kidding, I asked, they responded and offered a instant Newegg rebate on a new PSU from them if I got one.. :lol:) This is the PSU I have.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151027

Voltages on the 12V1(12.03V) and 12V3 (11.98V*) and 12V4(12.00V) rails (CPU = 12V1, GPU = 12V3 and 12V4) This is while folding with GPU and CPU maxxed out.)
*It did dip RARELY to 11.95V.
With the system idle it tends to rest about 12.08-12.11V.

Looks like the power company finally figured out what I was doing (nothing illegal, just that I was using more power - we're billed at a flat rate unless we have drastic overage), don't think I can justify the extra $60/mo so I'm going to have to shut her down. Was fun while it lasted, glad I could contribute something.
