Folding@home News 7th - 14th April

Thanks for the news mate

Like clockwork the news arrives and all is good with the world!

Guys two of my machines are reporting this after I swapped around gfx cards....

On client "local" 127.0.0.1:36330: Option 'gpu-index' has no default and is not set.

How do I solve this?

Went into the log file and copied this.

I got it working again, I didn't reboot from fresh install of client so now its working normally. I guess with removing gpu from machine messed it up.

yeah it always does that, i reinstall the whole program

I moved into team position 16

Nice one Colin!

Congratulations on the short lived celebrations.

Folding mode activated, want 16th, 15th and 14th back under my belt...

GO for it !

Probably tomorrow I'll swap my 780's back to their air coolers, not sure whether to sell them on or stick them in my 4930k machine which is currently just running a 680. Might trade one to my brother and get back the 970 I lent him.

not a good time of year to be going back to air cooling!

Good point ! Need to find new sticky thermal pads though for em

Ha, you're pulling away from me colinmcr, perhaps I shouldn't have been so cocksure!

What hardware are you running? 2x 780's?

680, 970, x2 980's

My 780s are currently still with WC attached swapping one over to my brother who has my other 970.

That'll be why you're pulling away then haha! Do you run them all the time or only occasionally..?

Not all the time atm except for the 680 which is in the attic room. I'm actually trying to configure Win10 Pro on my Midas rig atm which may then be on 24/7 once I'm happy with it. Win10 install has been a bit problematic for me with Nvme and dual cpus, although I think I'm getting there.

Finally got Win10 Pro installed on my 512GB Samsung Nvme 951 as boot drive. Had to enable UEFI, I was kinda chasing my tail as my 256gb Plextor M2 worked fine.

All up and running as I want it now so no more tinkering for me !
