Folding Forum

Now that there's a new FAHBench on Core 22, I was able to do more GPU testing; still getting NaN errors even with stock configuration, downclocked to factory specs, and with extra fan speed, all while no CPU core is running.

EVGA is a good brand, what's the efficiency of it? What's your CPU model? Do you have additional fans, multiple HDDs, etc. In theory, 500 Watts should suffice as long as it isn't damaged. How old is it? 80+ (White), Ryzen 1700 @ 3.2 GHz, one CPU fan & one case fan, 2 HDD's & 1 M.2 SATA SSD,...

500 W EVGA power supply.

Given that the CPU folds fine and hasn't had any issue, it could be an issue with the 6+2 pin connector, but my old GTX 970 using 2x 6 pin connectors was folding fine as well. So I do not believe the PSU is the likely culprit.

Will this work on a 5600 xt? I understand that Core 21 doesn't work with Navi cards for architectural reasons.

I've been continuing to try to get my GPU to successfully fold, but I am just not having any luck at stability. CPU is folding fine without any issue, but the GPU continues to spit out errors. Usually, it's a 'particle coordinate is NaN error', though occasionally I get 'clCreateCommandQueue (-6)' e...

It seems like increasing the fan speed considerably and lowering power usage to -43% was enough to stabilize F@H to run some GPU folds on this computer, though at some loss to performance. Hopefully new driver development from AMD will be forthcoming that addresses the black screen issue.

I was under the impression reading around that Core v21 did not have support for Navi-based cards and that only Core 22 does.

I don't know if this is a driver or a BIOS issue, or if F@H Core v22 just doesn't like the 5600 XT, or if my card is just butts Note: This is (primarily) concerning the FAH core crashing, becoming unstable, or otherwise just not working. At this time, while I have encountered one blue-screen, I have...

Alright, got a chance to look at those things:

Furmark results were stable after 5-ish 1 minute runs done consecutively, average FPS of about 98.

Are other people having success running on a 5600XT?

No other systems to try it in, not sure about what stress tests or software I would want to test. Truthfully, my old card just folded and didn't have any issues, so I didn't expect any real hassle with doing the same this time around, but I guess I am paying the AMD tax this time around unlike with ...

I am unfortunately still having problems. All throughout the night, I was getting "ERROR:exception: Error initializing context: clCreateCommandQueue (-6)" and the core wouldn't even start. Now I have a core that stalled at 99.99% with an ETA of unknown, but there doesn't seem to be any log...

Okay, I have used the DDU utility on all my gpu drivers and have reinstalled the AMD Radeon drivers. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the FAH 7.5.1 client as well and reentered my user name & passkey. The GPU immediately dumped the Work Unit as bad as soon as it got a new assignment after...

Is there a driver cleaner utility which is recommended? I just installed the AMD drivers earlier today, but I can uninstall those and reinstall if that may help.

No manual OC, just running at factory stock settings (only installed the card a couple of hours ago) GPU temperature in the Radeon software wasn't exceeding 70 C during the inspections I did. Reported wattage for the GPU under load was about 105 W, which is less than my 970 was drawing (about 125 W ...
