So at this point we may be #211 in the overall all time ranking, we have cracked the top 100 for monthly contributions

[1gecko]

NICE!!  Top 100 is pretty amazing

 

finally got my rig back 'functional' again - not up to anything serious, but at least able to play CoH and run a few simple apps.  Still having some color fluctuations occasionally and some frame-stutter in the game, so not sure she is up to folding...

[JayboH]

Congrats gang

[Psyblade]

That’s good to see. Hopefully the WU will keep flowing and we can keep going higher. I know I’m doing what I can to improve my ppd. Though it is a little way out yet. 

[Suicide Squirrel]

I'm about $1500 into a headless box built specifically for this project, I'll probably add 2 more gpu's over the next month and call it good at that. My room is already over heating

[Psyblade]

That’s quite impressive. That type of power is impressive. It’s why u keep my multi gpu folding computers in the basement. I just had my router go out on me today. Looks like my ppd is gonna tank for a bit. 

[Suicide Squirrel]

My room is in the basement 😖

[1gecko]

Well... at least that provides a stabilized, cool environment 🙂
... there is a LOT to be said for living below ground - most of it positive actually (well, as long as you are also above the local water table!!)

[Psyblade]

Suicide-squirrel, you weren’t kidding that you were coming for the top spot. Don’t think that my 1.8 million points per day that is currently being shown on the extreme overclocking page is representative though 😉

[Suicide Squirrel]

I think I'm near 3m ppd, it's gonna take some time.

[Psyblade]

Right now I have about 2.4 m ppd that’s reliable. I have a lot more that is giving me fits. And a bit waiting on a new radiator. 

[1gecko]

well, got my rig up enough I started folding again! (yay!) and it hasn't died yet (bigger YAY!) ... but having 'issues'.  Oh well, we'll see

 

I am just glad to see the community doing so well in all of this!  congrats again everyone!

[Psyblade]

Glad to hear your back up and folding. What issues do you have?

[Psyblade]

Was hoping to get my 2080 ti folding again this weekend and get the water loop back in my computer but alas, that did not happen.

Custom loops are a pain in the a-, What user are you on the list?

Well...

a) I seem to be generating periodic errors on my graphics card - which causes it to sometimes reject/be rejected for WUs.

b) WUs assigned to my graphics card are taking about twice as long as they did before (~3hrs instead of ~1.5hrs)

c) I am still getting some periodic 'color bleed' / shift when doing other things (gaming, watching a movie)

d) My motherboard/cpu continues to hang and generate errors on (re)boots, updates, etc. - all related to processes rather than a specific device or device group (HDs or USB or whatever) - it has been doing that for quite some time - it is just doing it more often since the 'Purple Haze' incident several days ago.  Took 6 *hours* to get it to boot all the way up the other day - different errors and never able to pin down any one cause. 😟 ... but I suppose some problems are to be expected - it is a bit over 8 years old (2 on the graphics card I think).

Oh, did anyone see that we (the HC team) are up to rank 83 out of over 250,000 for the month of April?!?!?

They usually aren’t too bad vexceot when I can’t go to my local tote to get what I want/need for it. I’m folding under the name psyblade.

Ouch. Sorry to hear about the problems. I have some spare hardware I’m gonna start to liquidate soon. Send me a pm if you might be interested in any of it. 

[Psyblade]

And my router died. Again. Second one in 5 days. Looks like I’m gonna be offline a while. At least folding.

I caved and abandoned the LTT team to come join HC, add a couple more 1080s and a 12-core CPU to the mix!

[Suicide Squirrel]

finally broke the top 3, I'm happy 😊

[Psyblade]

Changed my display name to match my global. Congrats on getting into the to 3. I’m not gonna make it easy for you to get first. Especially once I get all of my technical issues behind me.
