Oh my! I didn't realize my server had stopped folding. My other computer with the 2080, I did notice, but put it to sleep and keep forgetting to wake it back up. Been doing a lot of video editing on it lately and FAH drags it down when it is running.

What FAH needs is a method to sleep for a specific period of time.

 

[Foxbat]

I think FAHcontrol can be called from the Command prompt and a scheduled event could be set up to turn up full Folding at midnight or something.

I thought there was a setting in FAH to only use idle cycles to Fold, so when you’re editing your video FAH stays out of the way?

 

[EatMyVolts]

Haven't looked into the command line.

I do believe that the setting to only use idle cycles only applies to CPU slots.

 

[KE4EST]

Noticed no difference setting it that way, so you may be right about the CPU slots only.

 

[Foxbat]

KE4EST, it looks like you're back, but at a reduced capacity.

Does anyone else have Completed WUs that are "stuck" because the Collection Servers are down? I had one yesterday, and now I'm up to two.

[EatMyVolts]

No, but I've had just about everything else that could happen. Internet down, can't get assignments, and upgraded linix box from MInt 19 to 20 and find out that FAH control won't install due to a no longer supported python version. It's been fun.

 

[Foxbat]

It appears the Collection servers in the Cloud are back up. My two WUs that had been stuck on my Folding Farm have made it back home.

Whatever the reason, I've been getting a pretty nice mix of WUs to Fold, and the Stats Server shows me at 2.5 MPPD average!

 

[Foxbat]

Guess what, everyone? The SatelliteGuys.US Team has a new #1!!! Congratulations to EatMyVolts (a.k.a. smasho) for zipping past Voyager6 to take over the Top Spot!

WAY TO FOLD, SMASHO!!!

 

[KE4EST]

I will be curious to see what these new RTX 30xx series cards will do on folding.

 

[EatMyVolts]

If the pricing rumors are correct the 3080 is going to be real tempting.

 

[harshness]

If the pricing rumors are correct the 3080 is going to be real tempting.

It is good to have pressure from AMD.

 

[KE4EST]

If the pricing rumors are correct the 3080 is going to be real tempting.

I know!

 

[EatMyVolts]

Did somebody just get a new card???

 

[KE4EST]

If this were only true?!?

 

[harshness]

If this were only true?!?

Woof!

 

[EatMyVolts]

I was just looking at the way Foxbat's points had jumped but now I see mine have too. No new card here and 3080's are scarce as anything on the market. Must be some point inflation.

 

[Foxbat]

I was going to say it looks like YOU got the new card. The Team needs the points!

 

[Foxbat]

Look out, Voyager6 , KE4EST is coming for us!

Someone has been spending their Stimulus check…

The Team really needed it, too. We’re slipping fast, down to #81.

 

[KE4EST]

Well it wasn't from stimulus check, and I have had this a few months now. I ran it for awhile back when I got it at the first of summer I believe(for folding that is). But, my power bill was high enough with the A/C running 24/7. So, I thought I would let it run and see what it would do for awhile before heating bill gets to high.
It's the 2080 Super, I mentioned before.
3080 is next on my wish list!
