HI
What to look at when folding:
1: TPF is the time it takes to fold 1%, when you start folding you need to wait until 1% are fold before you get the numbers right for TPF.
2: If you get a work that stalls with 99.99% then you need to put the folding slot for that work in to "On Idle" and then delete the work that fails.
if you can't delete the work you need to restart the computer, then the code are stuck in the GPU. After restart you delete the work and click again "On Idle" to restart a new work. Works every time for me.
you find the works in this folder "your drive":\Users\"username"\AppData\Roaming\FAHClient\work\"work number".
this is something that could happen with AMD GPU's. Standford know about this error.
3: If you get a RED GPU that are "Fail" the you need to do the "On Idle" and restart and change BIOS settings PCIe type to gen2.
4: Your GPU's need to have original BIOS, no changes!
5: To setup a stable system you need the same numbers of CPU compared to GPU's, 4 GPU's ea 4 GPU's!!!!!!!!!
6: To make a number of minimal numbers of STAL's you need to change the motherboard PCI'e type to Gen2, change it in the motherboard BIOS.
7: Please use AMD drivers version 14.4 (People say it produces more points) (of coarse if you have AMD cards like 280x).
8: Put the folding power to FULL in the FAHControl software.
9: Check you indentity! It's case sensitive.
Use the same on the folding pool:
www.cryptobullionpools.com There are only ONE pool to use when you are folding, ASICS have the usual pools......working side by side, no competititon!
The homepage stats are lagging, not much usable info on that page except for you latest ranging in payout.
And your settings about payout adress etc...
It's not like a ordinary Scrypt pool page.
10: Check that you are folding with team 224497.
11: Power consumtion compared to Scrypt are less then 50%
-> lower noise and heat -> longer lifetime of the GPU!
Curecoin are COOL and HEALTHY
I have 24*280x GPU's and they are producing around 3500000 points every day now!
My stats:
http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/user_summary.php?s=&u=656893 On every computer I have default workers that are made when I install the folding software, 4 GPU's and 1 CPU, no changes!!!!
I have USB3.0 raiser cables on every GPU.
My TPF's are 6 to 9 minutes. And they are all ok.
When I did have 2 CPU's on 4 GPU's I only did have problems, now when I have 4CPU's on 4 GPU's all works fine!
Ummm...
1: You might have to wait until 2 or 3% completion (according to the log tab, not the status tab) which could take 1/2 hour or more.
2: DO NOT DELETE THE WORK. CHECK THE LOG TO SEE WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON. Most of the time this is from an unstable overclock / display driver crash and the worker actually stopped long before this...at some % lower than 99. I have had this happen and found that trying to pause and restart the work BEFORE fixing your OC and rebooting will cause the WU to become corrupt and get deleted anyway, forcing you to start a new one from scratch (and missing out on even more QRB points). If you want to continue from where it failed, then pause it, fix your OC, reboot the PC, and then try to start it. Hopefully you will get a 'checkpoint found' and go from there. Also, setting to 'on idle' won't do anything if it's not the GPU running your monitor. Better just to actually set to 'Pause' if you want to pause.
3: I know nothing about this situation so can't comment on it.
4: Your GPU does not need to have the original BIOS. Both of my 270s are using a modified BIOS and work fine. Just make sure the new BIOS and/or OC does not cause them to become unstable. Having a modded BIOS
COULD cause a problem but it is entirely possible to use one without problems.
5: I suggest having one extra core free as well. In my case with 2 GPUs I need 3 cores free for max performance. However, I did that testing on 13.12 drivers. Seems that might not be the case anymore with 14.4 so I could be totally wrong and you only need 1 per GPU now. I might re-test this again after.
6: Again I don't know so can't comment.
7: Completely agree and can confirm 14.4 drivers are superior. I got an ~25% increase in PPD by going from 13.12 to 14.4
8: Agree...unless it causes your system to freeze up and become unusable, but this shouldn't happen unless you screw with the priority in task manager or something (Or it's trying to use too many CPU cores: See point #5). Even if it does, if you don't need to use your system for normal stuff, and it's just a rig that sits in a corner folding away anyway, then whatever. If it's a computer you also use such as for gaming and what not, you can leave it on full, and check 'on idle' for your CPU, and the GPU which runs your monitor, and it will only fold when you're not using it.
9, 10, 11: Agreed.
This is mandatory points 1,2,3,5,6
See above especially regarding point #2
Good stuff.
