Folding Forum

Since the question is about how to undervolt + overclock, I'm going to answer the question rather than opine on the merits. This is gonna be long, I assume you're OK with reading. If you're accustomed to a Windows-esque undervolt + overclock experience, you're in for a hard time. Getting a proper un...

I wish I had the Linux knowledge to set this up. Which Linux distro are you running / are you planning to run? What about power draw in MPS "mode"? The answer is "it depends" but you should expect a few more watts... Your CPU will have additional core(s) in a spinlock state, ser...

Last week I upgraded my 14 year-old i7-3930k Fedora 42 folding rig to a far more modern Ryzen 5 5500. The CPU isn't folding, instead I'm leaving the protein mangling to a 4070 Super (power limited to 200W) and a 4090 (PL=350W.) Both of these cards mildly underperformed compared to LAR Systems data, ...

Just some napkin math: each lane of PCIe 3.0 is a touch shy of a gigabyte per second of bidirectional throughput (eg it can be transmit, or receive, or both at the same time at the full ~985MB/s.) Meaning, at least in theory, a PCIe 3.0 x4 slot would be able to manage, with some to spare, the throug...

Most of them self-correct within a small handful of retries, although I had one a few hours ago which seemed to need almost 20 minutes of retries before a download succeeded. So far (knocking on wood) I hav...

Looks like whatever was happening yesterday is now resolved; all three of my folding rigs have been chewing away at new WU's (and also successfully uploading them) since around 4pm US Central Time yesterday. Thank you to the F@H technical crew for resolving whatever craziness occurred!

Maybe if the knob went to 11?

Per @muziqaz prior post, I am aware there are pervasive server issues across the entire ecosystem. Just wanted to note ds01.scs.illinois.edu (128.174.73.74 for which this thread was named) seems to continue having challenges permitting WU downloads. I also see on the server stats page, as of my post...

I created an account here on the forums specifically to say "Thank you!" to @arisu. If I may, here are some additional findings... First, the box I'm running: Intel DX79Si "Siler" motherboard, PCIe 3.0 was in "beta" at this time and was only supported with very specific...
