Folding Forum

After work, if I have time, I use the PC for gaming and therefore no CPU folding possible. I game on my system, and leave CPU folding running. I don't see any slowdowns in games. That is using 6 of the 8 performance cores. You do not need to use all cores for CPU folding as has already been state. ...

The Radeon RX 590 is supported for folding. You may run into problems getting full driver support on Linux though. AMD has a habit of dropping full Linux support sooner than it does for Windows, and then just supporting them for video displays without OpenCL support which folding needs. I am seeing ...

A new Beta release is available v8.5.3 - https://foldingathome.org/beta Bug reports for the client - https://github.com/FoldingAtHome/fah-client-bastet/issues Bug reports for the web control - https://github.com/FoldingAtHome/fah-web-client-bastet/issues v8.4 Installation Guide - https://foldingatho...

Yes, you should just need to update the passkey. Try to do it with any current WUs finished, the stats check if the passkey the WU was downloaded with matches the upload passkey. If they don't match, the WU doesn't count towards the bonus. It used to be less restrictive, but some figured out how to ...

When they first came out the Radeon Vega 11 iGPUs were usable for folding. But I don't know if there still are WUs being sent out that are small enough to be processed on one now. You can try and see if you get any assigned, but that might not happen. I do recall that since the iGPU and the CPU are ...

It would take about 25 completed WUs to get back over the 80%. If you want, you can get a new passkey by using a different email or username in the form. The username used on the passkey request does not have to match the name you fold under. Then just 10 WUs finished and 80% completion rate folded ...

You are welcome. About the only thing I would add is that you may do better on CPU folding if you limit the thread count to 4. The i7-4810MQ has 4 cores supporting 8 threads through HT, but using the extra threads increases power consumption and heat for not much gain in processing time for F@h WUs....

What email you used will not matter, it is only recorded so that passkey requests using the same email and username will get the same passkey. Using the apps available here - https://apps.foldingathome.org/ - I can see your recent WUs have not received any bonus. Checking your bonus status there are...

The Intel® HD Graphics 4600 is too old to be used for folding, and should show up as unsupported in the client if it shows up at all. As it is, most of the Intel iGPUs are not powerful enough and will not meet deadlines. The wikipedia page for Intel GPUs - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel...

The best I can say about getting the verification email is try another email address. Gmail has worked for many. But many email services block emails from the F@h server. Possibly you can whitelist the address - noreply@foldingathome.org - that works with some providers. The same email address is us...

From his postings on EOC, he is using the same hosting company. But before he had his own server in a colocation setup and has changed to paying for. a server instance. The server company gave him the option of shipping his server back. He chose just to have the drives shipped back as the server was...

The move was completed a month ago, and the EOC stats have been active all that time. I personally have not had any problems accessing them. There are several recent postings about trouble accessing EOC, for example this topic - https://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?t=43290. You may be in a blocked...

I did some more poking around, a number of the usual public DNS servers are not resolving extremeoverclocking.com. My connection may be from a cached DNS result from sometime in the recent past. Hard to diagnose further, I have various DNS settings on my systems and router.

I am connected to EOC right now, and have been for the last month or longer without problems. That includes having my stats showing up in the signature here which uses EOC. As far as I know EOC is not on AWS, Jason was using his own server in a colocated server hosting company near him. That has bee...

Since it is another WU for which the first successful report in the stats database is before the beginning of October, that would be fine. If you see it happen again in the future, but from a different time period that would be worth reporting
