300TB update

Oh my that is a lot of scratch for a CPU. Intel has always pushed the cost envelope on the extreme top-end CPU's especially with Xeons.

5000 PPD give 1M in a year. My first year folding I produced 60,000 points with a dual CPU folding. The 1100M should be foldable under both CUDA and OpenCL folding cores (Core_15 and Core_17). It's basic architecture is Kepler (GTX 5xx) based which is supported. The big issue with GPU...

I've bought several Dell machines just because they were much cheaper than I could build them myself. My two 3.2GHz P4 Dimension 8400's come from exactly that: The entire machine was priced lower than I could buy just the CPU and I was able to sell off the monitors, on Ebay, and got another...

First try the above installing the proprietary driver. If that doesn't work then change the screen theme to something more pleasing to your eye.

Windows needs to be broken down further to versions. I was really surprised to see Chrome OS there at all.

I think Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB (2 x 8GB) is a better deal, for the same price, because of CAS 9.

I'd just stay with GPU folding rather than go 2-4P CPU. If I were to build a mega-system from scratch I'd get a MB with lots of PCI-e slots, a low-end CPU with at least one core per PCI-e slot, and a PS to exceed the expected power needs of all your GPU's planned then add GPU's as your budget...

Because I like Chrome: It's simple and clean. My opinion is that you should try both and pick whichever you like to use most.

I've found that going to local Taco Bells during strange hours gets bigger burritos and taco's and when busy I get less. I know that is an anathema for a national FF chain because standardization is key but is seems to be true locally. 9:00 am is a good time and 11:30 much worse.

Your two error messages do not specify the cause of the reboot. So they are of limited value for diagnostic purposes. Safe mode still loads Microsoft generic drivers, just not the drivers that are specific for your HW. As such most of your HW still runs, just not as efficient or to used its...

No, a working safe mode does not totally exclude HW because it limits what the HW does but it does indicate a preference towards drivers/software as a cause. On the other hand, swapping RAM slots does totally exclude SW as a cause. Have you looked at the Windows system event logs for error...

Nope, just read reviews...

Yes, but a whole bunch of them that are reasonable and cheap are shipped from China and take a month to arrive.

OK, let's try it: Me human. You ape. Me boss! Are you cowering yet?

I too leave it at full 100% of the time. However, I maintain advanced control on my screen and if I have any need I simply right-click on the gpu slot and pause it and the right-click to unpause it when the need no longer exists. You can probably do better by moving the power-slider between...

I do not know if you've done it but if not, you are still likely to want to drop the number of threads used by the CPU slot from (-1 = automatic) to one less than the number of CPU cores the processor has so that you are not over-subscribing the CPU.

How basic is basic? usage of touch-screen, mouse, keyboard or are we talking office, libraries, metro, and apps, Email, Web, communicating between desktop, notebook, and phone or how to manipulate the different Windows versions, file-sharing, Installing applications,security, malware, Primitive...

If you need/want all the possible options, you can set the verbosity = 5 and restart the client. After the client is restarted it will produce a new log and at the start it will list your current config with very possible option with its current value. The real issue is why doesn't FAHControl...

Move the power slider from medium to full (In FAHControl). By default (Medium power level) the GPU only folds when the computer is idle (i.e. screensaver is running). This is so you do not experience Lag when using the computer.

Manually editing the config is not normally recommended but it did get you your GPU slot. Now you need to add the CPU slot back in. I assume you made a syntax error...

You shouldn't wait. The setting only matters when you get your next WU and waiting till after is too late. The system config doesn't see your video card so my next question is are you using the Nvidia proprietary drivers? They are also required for GPU folding

You are also going to want to turn off client-type = beta and switch to client-type = advanced. There are no Core_17 beta WU's being offered right now.

9 seconds of log isn't much to go on but I have questions: Are you running a 64 or 32 bit Linux kernel? X64 Kernal is required for GPU folding in Linux and you also have to have the x64 bit Linux folding client. Next, what happens if you try to add a GPU slot (There isn't one defined in your...

The Win7/8 backup is incredibly slow and has disk-size limitations as well as advanced-format issues. Restoring is quick though.

I don't see anything particularly wrong in your log. I think you have it right that your drop in points correspond to those p8018 Core_15 projects. only Core_17 projects gives QRB points and that is where the majority of points come from. P8018 just gives base points so your PPD will be far...

I need to see your log...

Defender does not update its anti-virus lists unless you do it manually or have the Windows auto-update turned on. It is possible (me) to want to auto-update defender and not auto-update Windows. I have observed Win8.1 lagging with wireless too. Still it is much better than 8.0 where I would...

I didn't know there was a version limitation to remote desktop but if there is, use one of the imitations like VNC. I personally don't use remote desktop on anything because it is incompatible with folding so I use TightVNC, but there are many alternatives.

I really dislike Win8's search compared to earlier Windows.

I have a different observed pattern: Find the base minimum price for any product and double it and that is the price point where some quality products exist though you may have to know something to find it. 3x base is where conspicuous consumption begins. The above does not conflict with...

Even the best products use that plastic to protect their finishes so unless you want to label everything as crap it is probably not the best distinguishing marker.

You pull it out of the oil (messy); replace the HW; and put it back. There is no reason an entire rack can't be submerged as long as you have a big enough tank and something that can lift it in and out. The primary problem were HD's and that was because of the air-hole which is now eliminated...

Oil baths are an interesting cooling system. Having no air-hole means you can submerge the HD's rather than needing to separate the HD's from the rest of the machine which is entirely submerged in non-conductive mineral oil. Why use water on individual components when you can cool everything...

PS. Also is your case a Mini-ATX or a Micro-ATX? I do not believe that they are interchangeable so you have to buy the MB size that matches the case size.

LPF-200CP Spec. Does you PS have a 4 pin 12v power connector - The motherboard has a socket for it. GA-H61N-USB3 CPU support list Clearly has a GPU Frequency column indicating a CPU with onboard video. There really isn't a difference between H61 and an H61 express chipset. There is only an H61...

You also need a battery operated light capable of dimly lighting a room for long time periods when the power goes out being that candles are inherently unsafe.

They are testing to failure: The last article is just update at the 200TB point. There will be more updates, so stay tune... I agree that statistically, the tests are likely worthless because a sample size of one each is far too small. That being said, even anecdotal evidence is information...

I think there are more people with multi-monitor low-end displays than users with a single massive monitor >1920x1200 and a high-end GPU makes a big difference with multi-monitors too.

Supply and demand! Don't worry, Nvidia will make more and the price will go back down. Perhaps not soon enough, for you, though.

GTX 780 Price Cuts Nvidia has also announced that the GTX 780 Ti will be released Nov. 7th at a $700 price point.

The CPU and RAM are relatively unimportant when GPU folding. I GPU fold on 2x P4's with 1GB of RAM on a GTX 460 (x16 lane PCI-E 1.0) and get the same PPD as with a Q6600. I limit myself to a 460 on those Dell Dimension 8400's (P4) machines only because of the 350W Dell PS is not capable of...

The first reports for R9 290x: aprox. 140K PPD which is very close to what a GTX 780 gets.

There should be no performance difference between Linux and Windows for the Nvidia GPU client. For the CPU client, Linux runs slightly faster.

It is not the absolute temp of the air being pumped in the room that matters because you do not know how much air every second is being added at 200C. A better comparison is 400W (290x) vs 350W (Titan) at load or 89 (290x) vs 80W (Titan) at idle. So the difference at maximum load for the 290...

Considering AMD's new clocking arrangement, I'd like to see what this card can do with a high quality water cooling setup.

May I suggest rather than using Ebays asking price as a range, look at the prices for items that sold.

There is a correlation it just isn't linear, it's geometric and that is what makes it more difficult to predict PPD from ns/day. Faster ns/day will get you more PPD/day but one extra ns/day at the bottom gets you a lot less PPD than an extra ns/day at the top end of the scale. I agree that the...

Until someone reports specific PPD on the R9 290(x) you can use AnandTech's Compute Folding@home Explicit single precision benchmark as a reasonable comparative estimate of relative folding capability (not PPD though). The benchmark being used is FAHBench and it actually runs a folding test WU...
