The idle mode is written in the FAQ at their site, but not really explaining tho

Hi guys! I've just read about Folding@Home and found that LYN has a group. I just started yesterday as Die_Corona19. How can I tell if my CPU is working fast enough. I noticed some of you was talking about PPD?

My GPU is now working on a job running at Estimated PPD: 1,278,341

No WU for my CPU at the moment.

Oh yeah, thanks for the head up.

Welcome to the family. Make sure you get a passkey if you are interested on the bonus point.
What CPU do you have there? A 1.2M PPD GPU, is that a RTX 2070?

Welcome back, good spec there, a 700k PPD card, fold strong.

A good power consumption reference for people who owned a GTX 1060 6GB.

Yes I did get a passkey and assigned to 2999 team.

My CPU is i7-9700K and GPU is Nvidia RTX 2070 Super. Just got it new a few months ago.

This is cool. At least now with me working from home, I can leave unused resources throughout the day to help with Folding.

Definitely a great spec for folding. I believe the work unit outage still on going. Do share the i7-9700K PPD when you got a work unit for it.

I got a few WU since yesterday but it seems to be completed in a very short time of around 50 minutes. Didn't have a chance to see the PPD for CPU. For GPU it takes less than 2 hours to complete so I have some time to check. It's quietly running in the background so sometimes I don't know it is running WU until I hear my fan running a bit louder.

My CPU just received another WU. The PPD is 103,287

I recall last time, there's another piece of software called FahMon displays PPD data better.
Tried to install it on the Win10 PC of mine, doesn't work.
Tried Compatibility Mode, also doesn't work.

Have you any similar software? or you got FahMon to work on Win10?

A very good PPD for CPU. A few more work units, then you will be qualified for bonus point.

I no longer use FahMon, just rely on the FAHControl for PPD figure.

Coronavirus Researchers Get Access to 16 Supercomputers

Folding@Home Now More Powerful Than World's Top 7 Supercomputers, Combined. The fight against coronavirus goes nuclear.

And as of today, our team have more than 100 active member, output exceeding 4.5M PPD.

had been folding for some years. lately i've noticed client (windows) did not receive any WU. also hadn't had the chance to work on any Covids. any tips on getting it?
R5 2600+RX470

Heh maybe too much newcomers like me letting it on 24 hours.

Exactly. Ryzen 3rd gen is very efficient. But my Ryzen 3000 has to be limited to 50% usage only for the Folding as if I let it fold at full load, my PC will automatically reboot itself. Not sure why. I also notice GPU especially those RTX 20 series has way much higher (more than 1 million) PPD compared to CPU. Maybe someone with Ryzen 3990X can try let us know what is the PPD with 64 cores.

Glad to hear from you bro kucing, currently there is overwhelming response from worldwide, lead to folding server busy and frequently out of work unit. I think we have minimum control on what kind of work unit that we can get, since the folding assignment server are the one who decides which machine to get assigment of work unit. For now, what we can do is set folding preference to "any disease". COVID-19 projects are high priority project for now. When you get assigned a work unit, there is good chance it is from the COVID-19 projects. You may refer to the first post for COVID-19 projects range.

And I noticed your output is quite good, get a passkey in order to qualify for bonus point, you will see massive increase in terms of PPD.

I would like to know the Ryzen 3990X PPD as well.

But back to your rig, is it instantly reboot once the CPU is running at 100% load? Any overclocking/boost performed? Manage to check CPU temperature? What are the other hardware especially graphic card and power supply?

havent fold for more than a decade..
well, best time to contribute again

Advanced setting doesn't really have that much extra settings from the web ui for a pc with 1 gpu. Maybe my pc doesn't really goes idle.
and yeah, I left it to run manually when I'm not using.

Wow!

Long time left this. I remember contributing 1-2 FAQs for the beginner.

Sub deleted already? Aisehhh...wish I can join all of you.

Happy folding everyone! 💪🏼💪🏼

From my experience, my R5 3600 spiked to 94c when doing 90% folding. I tend to leave 1 core untouched for PC background processing & to handle GPU folding.
The temp i got, that's on the wraith stock cooler, which i reckon is the culprit for your sudden reboot.

I also noticed that, on my current setting, the TPF (time to go up 1%) really is astounding. Less than a minute. Folding using AMD CPU is a breeze compared to Bulldozer/Phenom days.

and i believe those with R9 3990X, can perform 3-4 CPU folding, running at once. Provided the cooling is exceptional.
