Folding Forum

Greetings! My lab needed yet another gizmo and just acquired a Beelink SER7 mini pc. AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics (16) @ 5.293GHz F@H v7.6.21 on Arch Linux produces on the order of 500,000 +/- PPD consuming 2-3 watts Ryzen 9 7940HS version is on the market, but about 25% price premium ...

Yes, all folding taking place on one chassis. ASRock B650E Taichi Lite motherboard and Ryzen 7900 (no X). Manjaro Linux The two cards are installed on PCI slots 1 and 2. Specification is: CPU: 1 x PCIe 5.0 x16 Slot (PCIE1), supports x16 mode Chipset: 1 x PCIe 4.0 x16 Slot (PCIE2), supports x4 mode I...

ASRock B650E Taichi motherboard with one CPU PCIe 5.0 x16 slot and one chipset PCIe 4.0 x16. First is occupied with 4070 Super and second with RTX A2000 I do not have numbers directly at hand but recall when folding with the Ryzen 7900 I also saw a penalty on the first slot card. I tried with limit ...

I'm curious how this will work as I've consistently found that doing any amount of CPU Folding drags down the processing speed of the GPU job. Its particularly aggressive on my 5950X where I will lose more PPD off the GPU job than I gain from the CPU job, and it doesn't appear to be boost clock rel...

Current status:
4060ti - 7,448,102
4070S - 13,287,070

bikeaddict are you running both in one chassis, or separate machines?
What CPU chip, please

RTX 4070 Super + RTX 4060ti + AMD 7900 "Raphael" integrated GPU = 10,000,000 +/- PPD RTX 4074 Super + RTX 4060ti = 16,000,000 +/- PPD ASRock B650e Taichi Lite running Manjaro Linux. Windows11 produces significantly less (~20%) on identical dual-boot hardware. I chose the 4060ti over anothe...

Thanks for your quick responses. There is a great deal I do not understand about BTRFS clearly; I formatted /root with it so I could take extremely efficient system snapshots with Timeshift, which requires writes to /root. As I understand it, this is not a traditional fragmentation, but rather artif...

Greetings I installed Manjaro Linux on a purpose built folding machine. Perhaps foolishly, I formatted /root with BTRFS "One disadvantage of Btrfs is that it can cause high level of data fragmentation due to the use of “copy-on-write” technology. This is most often observed when overwriting a l...

Thank you Joe. You have provided me a fine meal to digest, and an open way to proceed. TBD

I am a long time folder with two purpose built machines. Figure I can use one as a test bed. Since the folding core "backend" is 7.6, is there a way to installing just the beta front end? Or should it be a complete uninstall and re-install? I run Manjaro Linux. The 7.6 Foldingathome is ava...

Running RTX 4070 Super @ 185W and RTX 4060 ti @ 140W on Manjaro Linux nets 18 - 20,000,000 PPD on Ryzen 5950X

Throw in a graphics co-processor CPU for another .5 - .75 million

This week I broke the ten billion point mark after quite some years Folding, lately with two purpose-built machines at home. When I attempt to download a F@H Certificate to celebrate, I enter my User Number (not ID) BUT ... It returns to me a certificate perfectly printed WITH SOMEONE ELSE'S NAME. :...

I will boot to Win11 then and let it run a few days straight to see if I haven't let the machine "warm up" and reach full PPD.

Same F@H Team and passkeys, same account.

I built a dual-boot machine to run F@H. There is an extreme difference in points per day between Linux and Windows 11. Same hardware. AMD Ryzen 5950X on ECO mode through UEFI 32 GB DDR4 memory @ 4000 mHz NVidia RTX-4070 Manjaro Linux = 12,000,000 PPD Windows 11 fresh registered installation with all...

Solved by rebuilding python2-cairo from AUR.
