Folding Forum

I give up on the Linux power management (pwmconfig)! It still says There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed . This seems to be a notorious answer with at least three possible solutions which may work or not. It's quite common that no solution works - I am not the only one with this problem....

Nearly idle temperature is around 39° C. The fan looks like the HP standard fan for Z420: HP 647289-001. PC running on the side makes no difference, here short videos: http://www.chaosbeatcombo.de/bilder/on_the_side_and_idle.mp4 http://www.chaosbeatcombo.de/bilder/on_the_side_and_folding.mp4 I also ...

The noise reduction so far has been appreciated - thank you! It is an intake fan indeed, so I have fans for intake, outtake, CPU (one big and one small), RAM (next to the outtake) and GPU. I have the fans slightly hunting up and down, but not much I think. It gets a lot worse when I fold with half o...

I think it, coud be an intake fan next to the speaker and harddisks, but I am not sure. I might open the case again, when the kid is in bed. Here are my first observations: 1. Computer close to the wall, about 8 cm: max core temperature 87 °C, average 86° C, lots of fan activity 2. Computer close to...

Sorry, I have to be more specific: I could not make gunnarre's script work for reasons I don't know. The option pause-on-start worked, after I followed the FAQ and discovered that the values seem to be case sensitive "true"/"false". Before that I had followed FAH-Control GUI, in ...

I got back to the configuration of all CPUs in one slot, because 9+1 slot was also not fully convincing. So now something about the CPU noise: - 6 CPUs don't minimize the noise, contrary they add the sound of the fan starting and pausing again and again, which is at least as annoying as as the 12 CP...

Now I configured pause-on-start for my GPU as described in https://test.foldingathome.org/support/faq/installation-guides/configuration-guide/ , but it does not work, even after several tries and restarts. I would be glad, if a future release of the folding software would take care of that issue, be...

Thank you, that is a good, clear guide! My GPU is slot 00, so I replaced the slot number and did everything just according to the guide, but the client does not fold during a locked screen. Even after hours the progress remains at 0.00. Did I choose the right status of the slot ("Pause" ->...

Ok - how do I do that?

Let's see, what I have found so far: 1. The idle mode does not work under Ubuntu, perhaps it waits for hibernation instead of a locked screen. 2. I can measure several core temperatures, but I cannot configure the fan speed: /usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed. To ...

Ok, I will give the idle function another try. And then I will look after fan profiles. I guess the computer was designed as a working machine, not a living room silent machine, but I was not aware of that at the time I was buying it.

Thank you! My computer is located in my living room and also serves as my music provider, it runs only the time I'm awake . But the other users of the room find it sometimes quite loud, so I need to switch between 1 CPU and more, usually 10. Therefore I would like the control panel to offer me anoth...

Hello, I run F@H on a Ubuntu machine with 12 CPUs. How many slots should I configure - one or more? Here is the description of the hardware from the log: 08:58:17:WU00:FS00:0xa8: CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-1660 0 @ 3.30GHz 08:58:17:WU00:FS00:0xa8: CPU ID: GenuineIntel Family 6 Model 45 Stepping 7 ...

That sounds like a quite complicated puzzle - I will not try. Thank very much you for your advice!

In addition I am trying to get the GPU folding in my notebook as well - and guess what, I get other errors. The OS is again an Ubuntu 18.4, the GPU is from AMD (Manhattan [Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series]). 1. Should folding work with that GPU at all? It's not from Nvidia. 2. I installed ocl-icd-open...
