Yeehar! Thems dam fine stats sa'h!

 

[gublok]

how do i find out my total

 

[Biffa]

Here ya go: http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/user_summary.php?s=&u=641946

 

[RHS]

Wow, LoudBob must have a server farm crunching stats like that, failing that people must be wondering why word is running very slow

 

[Biffa]

He has a server farm in his bedroom and he gets ALL the hot chicks dammit!@#

 

[gublok]

THANKS

 

[gublok]

not bad for to weeks only when pc is idle

 

[MGP]

Yee hah. 20million. Ok it's a bit insignificant when you have the Loudbobs and Biffas etc. but it is all for the science you know

 

[Akagi]

My PPD still seems incredibly incorrect.

Am I missing something?

Still getting 40 - 50K PPD 150+ hours a week. And i'll be getting that plus another 20 - 30K PPD 24/7 soon, I dont see where the 13K comes into it.

I was 10th or 9th before when I was getting less PPD than I am now, now i'm 14th when in reality my PPD has risen by as much as 50%.

93,496 weekly points? if your on 40-50k ppd then id look at how its set up, firstly is this one more than one pc, if so are username and passkey correct?

it is saying you've dropped 105k points though? has something been turned of like a gpu?

 

[Biffa]

Remember PPD is a calculation based on if you were running 24/7 both the client and monitoring programs like HFM cannot know how long you are running your system for.

But yes make sure you have a passkey setup correctly, the stats are saying you are doing around 14-15K PPD average. http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/user_summary.php?s=&u=624191

 

[Akagi]

I dont know the in's and out's of how the folding client works i'm afraid so you might have to explain some things that you think should be obvious.

Here you can see my name, team number and current PPD, the PPD stays at around this number for at least 150 hours a week. The machine is on 24/7 (I only pause folding while gaming, and I dont game very often.)

I used to be running a GTX460 getting about 16K PPD and my GTX660 getting around 22K PPD, but recently the 460 has been out of action, and my 660 has been crunching the new work units at 47K PPD. (Biffa told me how to set it up)

What difference does a passkey make? I don't believe I have one of those, and I have never had one. (even back when my stats were being reported correctly)

*edit* just set one up.

Spoiler

 

[Biffa]

If you don't have a passkey you don't get the bonus points.

e.g. a 7811 has earns 3075 points as standard, but with a passkey earns bonus points depending how fast you return it, with bonus points its roughly 4 times as many points.

 

[Akagi]

Will see how things look in another week now ive set up a passkey then.

 

[MGP]

I run an i7 2600 with GTX 670 at stock - overclocking used more power and generated more heat for no serious gain. At 24/7 use, give or take a few hours gaming, it's good for 80k + PPD.

Your i5 won't be as good as there are only 4 cores rather than the 8 hyperthreaded. And the 660 slightly less too. But this should give you a clue as to the achievable levels

 

[ozaudio]

just looking at the stats and theres quite a few left / stopped / swapped teams

kerrgreg
crazysweede
Wildman
delboy
penfold
fmtopfan
paradigim



that alone must be quite abit of work units down

 

[Biffa]

Some may just be working on their rigs, I know wildman is doing a watercool build

They don't take their points with them when they leave. But as for PPD

kerrgreg - 0 PPD
crazysweede - 0 PPD
Wildman - 0 PPD
delboy - 0 PPD
penfold - 0 PPD
fmtopfan - 1,448 PPD (Still with us)
paradigim - 0 PPD

Some people just give it a rest during the summer months when its too hot. And some give it a rest when they get their first few electric bills

Either way their contribution was appreciated while it lasted and we hope they come back real soon.

 

[ozaudio]

see if any new members join up from hukkels build of his 4p as theres seems a couple interested in starting up


seems I also spoke to soon, fmtopfan was showing 0 ppd when I checked, also crazyswede is now producing points again

 

[robj20]

I will be back once it cools down a bit.

Going to be watercooling mine this weekend, and im going to add my old GTX460, so i will have;

2600k @ 4.2Ghz
GTX670 FTW
GTX460

all folding over winter for the odd stints.
