Project 17648 has no description.

@capejohn31 Some useful information I received from Foxter about achieving nearly 100% folding performance from NVIDIAS GPUs at set to run at <100% power. This might help your power supply to cope. : Too big units, comparing to just finished ones Post by Foxter » Tue Jul 05, 2022 9:38 pm @appepi I a...

For more than 2 years I have been folding with three Asus Turbo RTX 2060 (not super) - all bought second-hand on eBay - for at least 9 hours/day and with no other load - without any failures so far. I also use other GTX 10xx GPUs intermittently, and in all cases I use ASUS GPU-Tweak II or III with a...

Better late than never? ... But thanks for asking because it led me to re-find a reddit post from Joe_H 5 years ago explaining " ... just add the option "pause-on-start" set to "true" using FAHControl's Configure. The FAHClient process uses almost no resources when folding i...

z805_W7 again, re KB2533623: it was installed on the W7 I was using, on 16 Nov 2018.

Update on the Z800/X5620 test with W7. The first CPU job (A8 core) finished OK, putting Donor z805_W7 on the board with 7,595 points, and now the X5620 appears in the LARS CPU database at 1978 PPD per logical processor. There was a snag with the concurrent GTX1080 GPU client, which hung at 1 second ...

Hi barebear: Out of curiosity I installed the outdated version of foldingathome from the link you gave, using a 2011-vintage Z800 that has a minimal 4-core (8 thread) X5620 CPU (released Q1 2010) whose Geekbench 6 performance (1 core/Multicore)) is 364/1223 and thus similar to but lower than than yo...

A2 : Because big.LITTLE architectures sucks on FAH and require user optimisations ... If you were planning to upgrade your CPU for FAH, I think you should go with an AMD one as they don't use big.LITTLE architecture yet. The LAR-using folders seem to agree with your choice, since there's N=7,538 da...

OK. Before moving on, if yous are paying attention you will notice two oddities in the "Modern CPU" data, namely: Q1: How do you get 32 logical processors out of 24 physical with the i9-13900's? A: Because only 8 have dual threads, Q2: Why are the PPD's so low for the i9-13900KF versus the...

I was inspired by this debate to document my own reasons for shutting down CPU processing on my elderly HP Z-series workstations, even though they have 1 or 2 6-core CPUs and thus 12 or 24 logical processors available. I will start by documenting the Geekbench 6 (GB6) performance and Folding PPDs of...

Well, there was a time when Bill Gates was interested in CP/M too.

I agree that it is at best discourteous when beneficiaries of donated time and money - electricity and computer use costs both, after all - fail to provide a project description. That being said, this biology stuff is not in my skillset, so I stopped reading beyond the title a long time ago, and I t...

... The newest LAR Systems dark mode Chrome extension for Folding@Home has a rudimentary time-of-day setting which you can use from the browser, instead of setting up scripts in the OS. This time-of-day setting issues a "start" and "finish" command at the specified time, but if ...

Folding probably accounts for <10% of total power during summer months, and <15% during cooler months. Heat pump hardly runs in basement though. And gas furnace probably a bit less on first floor even. :) As luck would have it, my electricity supplier recently decided to shut down the beautiful 4x5...

This is just an update to my previous post, needed because Kaspersky Total Security has been replaced by Kaspersky Premium and the behaviour is different and so is the interface. The good news seems to be that there is no need for any special settings and you can just treat FAHclient.exe as a regula...
