we need to ask why the software isn't being prioritized for modernization.

Re: Can I add my old gpu into my motherboard with my new gpu for folding?

https://forum.foldingathome.org/viewtopic.php?t=43104 may help if you are talking about Windows 11 (and probably W10 also) and currently supported GPUs. The key point is that both GPUs must be able to use the same driver. I also had a more recent experience last week with an old Z800 /Quadro 5000 /W...

Re: Optimizing Thread Allocation on Older Enterprise Hardware (ProLiant DL360 / 14-Core Xeon)

Xeon® Gold 5117 Unfortunately the LAR CPU database doesnt have a 5117, but it has a 5120 that seems to be much the same but a tiny bit better when I compare https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/120474/intel-xeon-gold-5120-processor-19-25m-cache-2-20-ghz/specifications.html with http...

Re: Optimizing Thread Allocation on Older Enterprise Hardware (ProLiant DL360 / 14-Core Xeon)

14-core 2GHz Xeon So as not to bury the lead, the optimal allocation of FaH threads for these Xeons is zero, unless your electricity is free. :egeek: Calculations follow. I assume that if we are talking about an an older generation DL360 then the 14 core Xeon at issue is something like a Xeon E5-26...

Re: Experiences with W10 ESU Rollout?

Hi, Your screenshot shows power set to "Light". GPU's only run if it is set to "Medium" or "Full".

Re: No Work

Hi, the experts here (I am not one) can't really help unless you provide some or all of:

1. Hardware
2. OS and version
3. Folding app (7.6.21, 8.4.9 etc)
4. Is this a new install or was it running OK before
5. If the latter, did you change anything
6. Maybe a copy of log containing the message

Re: Should I upgrade/update my software?

we plan to let the servers be hammered by V7 users trying to download something which is not working on that version :D

eventually there will be some new projects or folding cores that the v7 client will not be able to handle I will likely be staying with the 7.6.21 version +LARS browser extension on most of my devices because version 8.4.9 doesn't easily let me control their operating times to avoid the more expens...

This is one of a number of problems/ challenges with 8.4.9 that has led me to stay with 7.6.21 and use the scheduler in the Lar Systems app - see https://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?p=370490#p370490. Time of use electricity charging is increasingly common, and "Folding while I am using the c...
