It's entirely up to you how you run your kit but I personally try to discourage others from overclocking. The card runs hotter, it draws disproportionally more power, the fan spin faster and noisier. Agreed. The novelty of higher clocks is long faded for me, stock is just fine, less heartaches. Bac...

From my experience, folding or crunching WUs on GPUs is the best thing. Feed that GPU with an Intel CPU, and you got a pretty solid performer. Perhaps not 100% perfect, but many of my systems ran for months without intervention. On AMD CPUs, especially Ryzen CPUs, I've had to hard reset the PCs from...

The 3050 has a very low boost speed of below 1500Mhz (~1480Mhz), vs the 1870Mhz boost of a 2060. More modern 2060s you can run at 2050Mhz boost easily, but the 3050s I don't know. Even though the 3050 has 33% more cuda cores, it also is operating at ~25% lower frequency. That paired with the slower ...

There is a way you can overclock the RPi3B, by a few hundreds of Mhz, making it about as fast as a 4B. But it might not be very optimal. Because, the 3B+ overclocked will use more power than a Pi4 for the same work done. For doing this, you're recommended to get an active cooling solution, if possib...

There's still no way to set more than 1 project running on a GPU in the client?
The 3080 and up have roughly 4 times more shaders, and 2 to 2,5x the TMU, ROPs, SM count, RT cores, and Cache per SM.
The only thing that's roughly the same (less than 15% extra) on the 2060 and 3080, is the tensor cores.

Would be awesome if there was a website that would allow for transactions to take place in return for services. For home users like me, we have some hardware spare, but not the $$$ for electricity. $25 on donation would roughly give the equivalent of 1 month of folding on a modern GPU. There's no wa...

If FAH are not producing Android workunits, you can't work around it. I doubt there's a virtual Windows PC CPU ability for Android. But there are WUs for the Raspberry Pi,no? Then again, the R-Pi has Cortex A-70 (performance) cores, and most android phones only use A-50 (efficiency) cores; and thos...

Most of the crashes happen if you split PCIE power lanes. I remember on RTX GPUs I had to join 2x 6 pin PCIE headers into a 1x8 plug that would fit the GPU. Splitting a 6-8pin to spread over 2 GPUs under full load definitely will result in failure. Same perhaps with the CPU pin out. What was the max...

ok. There must be a workaround to run Raspberry pi versions on an android phone, since RPi operating software is based on ubuntu/debian, and both Android and Debian use Linux kernels.
Android may be a bit more restrictive though...

Windows has better driver support for AMD GPUs. Had you have a GTX 1660, roughly the equivalent of the 480 in terms of performance, you'd seen a very high speed boost in Linux over Windows. My advise, is to leave at least 1 to 2 CPU cores free to feed the GPU. Also, try to make sure the GPU gets 16 ...

All my android phones are out of work on Boinc, due to WCG and Universe@home being offline. I wanted to use my phone to run folding at home, and found this website: https://folding-home.en.uptodown.com/android Is it legit? Are there WUs for android phones? (they're running A50-series cores, not A70 ...

You can put in a request for such an enhancement, or add your comment to an existing request. The other option is to program your own function. The client does have an API for connecting with it, and commands can also be sent to the client by scripts. Perhaps the simplest would be to create a scrip...

1- might still be a psu issue. Could be a bad cap or voltage regulator. Or perhaps some dust, or a broken cable lead. 2- I would start by setting your CPU into ECO mode. Then install or configure your PC to limit GPU power, and see if it runs fine. @MeeLee Thank you for theEco Mode suggestion! I ju...

I have been having the4 same problem on 2 different computers, one Windows 10 and the other Windows 11. I ran memtest with no problems found. Then I stopped running FAHClient on both and just monitored via web control. The one on Win 11 was freezing and rebooting every 3-6 hours while the one on Wi...
