Folding Forum

The other thing you might try on a headless Linux system is not bothering with X, its not required to fold and can add in problems. All you need is the nvidia driver installed. You will lose some info and you can no longer use nvidia-config, but then if its headless you will be using nvidia-smi anyw...

I am roughly in the same boat. i created my team when I first started folding back in the 3.x client times, long long ago. No idea what the password is for it, but also not really bothered. Still put points into the team regularly. But would be nice to update the team logo location to my current web...

An onboard Carrizo R7 doesnt cut it. That much I found out recently.

A 1050 ti is worth about 220k/day and uses about 50-60w of juice.

Nowadays a 1650 Super or 1660 seems to be the minimum if you want a good return.

LOL. Ok its fixed. The cause of the problem was the fact that the opencl/cuda indexes didnt map to there logical adapters correctly. It now runs as a user like it did before.

Will probably still reinstall everything and see if I can get those mappings back to normal.

Thanks for your help guys.

Why are you starting the FAHClient in the /opt/fah/fahclient-1050 directory? Because thats where all folding directories live (im not being arsey, its just how where it its installed, it should not make any real difference where you install software as long as the core files reside in the same dire...

I have built a temporary system due to a parts failure. It comprises of the following. AMD A8-9600 Gigabyte A320-S2H (latest BIOS F50) 8GB DDR4 2133 Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti I went to start folding on the Nvidia and it failed with a bad workunit, mayybe 3 times before I shut it down. I've tried 3 differen...

I was kind of thinking something like this. https://www.amazon.com/Yikai-Stainless- ... B082L5NGG6 Then build a wooden frame work out of cheap wood, glue the mesh to it and put it over the top of your folder like you would with the umbrella types. As long as the air can freely circulate and any heat...

I would probably get all the parts and install it on a wooden board if you have issues with heat. Throw a fine net over it to keep the dust out. Then concentrate your cooling efforts on the room its in, not the actual system itself. As for the system itself, I wouldnt buy a brand new system. i would...

I would settle for the "to simulation" being changed to "simulate". I suspect as you said, it was constructed by a non english speaker or maybe google translated into english. Would you agree for just that one change. The rest is window dressing. I would also like to see slightly...

All im saying is it takes maybe, 2 secs to click on spell/grammar checker in Office. Regardless of the language it would have highlighted the first sentence as incorrect. As for the rest, you are correct. I am not a scientist working on the folding teams and as such, have no clue if they are doing a...

<pedant> Ok this isn't the most critical thing ever, but im sure some people look at it and wonder about professionalism, Maybe more if you were looking at the project and possibly contributing. or sponsoring it. I have noticed that the Project information displayed in the web client sometimes has g...

On a desktop that is used daily, then applying any security patches might be worth it. On a Windows machine you use day to day, definitely. On a Linux machine used day to day, I probably wouldnt bother. Most malware generally targets Windows. For a headless folding server that probably sits behind a...

If you have a spare core you could force vnc to start on it by using taskset or change affinity of the process to force it to use that core. Similarly FAh can be bound to a set of cores. That might help with the sluggishness. If you are only using vnc to monitor the client, I'd use ssh and disable g...

If you want more options to mess with, run the client with the flag:
You should be able to work out what things do and how to change them from the info in the config.xml

Power button? or is that too much energy expenditure?
