Folding Forum

An intense browsing of the project summary reveals there to be quite a number of projects for which the cause is "unspecified".

What was showing you the "UNKNOWN RESEARCH" text?

A couple of suggestions:- 1). Remove all overclocks and/or voltage tweaks. The only "overclock" you should have left is XMP. 2). Test the ram - memtest86, this will test the memory outside of the windows environment 3). Test the cpu - prime95, ensure it has AVX2 enabled, use the setting wh...

Beta testers only post something when they experience problems with a certain WU. You still need to apply to join the beta team to post in that subforum and, I believe, get the codes required to configure your system to receive at least some of the beta work units. I applied 8-9 months ago. So far ...

I think this topic can be closed.

I no longer wish to be a beta team member.
It has become clear the beta team has been abandoned as nobody is handling it.

1. You having units outside does have a lot to do with it. It means you don't have to contend with heat and/or noise issues like the rest of us. 2. I ask you to NOT quote me because I actually completely disagree with what you are pushing and I want no part in it. You are pushing people to lower the...

@MeeLee
By your own admission your systems are outside and they're unstable.
Push overclocking all you want but stop quoting me.

What I do is to "overfan" which is to set the fan to a fixed speed like 70% rather than the default 25-35% to force the GPU to run about 5-10°C cooler I have occasionally done this as well. One of the side benefits is that the fan gives a constant drone, which is easier to tune out. Thank...

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. Many of us actually underclock our cards. I normally run mine about 70% power. That gives me somethi...

It looks like your GPU has already been whitelisted as the client has recognised it and assigned it as a species 5 card (the species is the first number after the manufacturers name), so that's not your issue. 14:05:05: GPU 0: Bus:7 Slot:0 Func:0 AMD:5 Raven Ridge [Radeon Vega Series / 14:05:05: Rad...

Can you post the first couple of hundred lines of the log from the system with the disabled GPU.

How to post logs

Personally, I don't know but it is something I'm interested in myself. It's thanks to charts like these that we can compare different GPUs because simply looking at the tech specs doesn't really reveal much. I have a GTX 1080 Ti and an RTX 2070 Super. On paper the 1080 Ti should be the more powerful...

If it works it's all good, there's a lot of answers I don't know.

My guess would be that your internet security application is interfering. Sometimes the folding at home software can be falsely flagged as malicious/malware. Your internets security application should have an exceptions list (a list of folders/files/processes which you can tell it to ignore). Add th...

You really need to download and install the proprietary driver from the nvidia/geforce website. The drivers available from the ubuntu repository don't have all the components required to fold. The GPU section of your system info should look more like this 21:40:45: CWD: /var/lib/fahclient 21:40:45: ...
