Diehard Posted July 12, 2014 CID Share Posted July 12, 2014 Hi All It's Been a while and I'm Sorry for that as I have not been using my Spare PC for Folding But its back, Now converted it to a Home Server and its running 24/7 So yes I have Installed F@H on it, and it will keep running mudmanc4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea myself as well, I'll fold for a while then drop off, come across something and start up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanobot Posted September 18, 2014 CID Share Posted September 18, 2014 So I think when I find out what my electric bill will be each month (should find out the first or second week of october) I may start folding again. I'll have to do some reconfig on my PC to get it ready though. (Been a while since it's done any folding or had any real maintenance, maybe I'll start on that tonight, play some BF3 and then scape crap out of my compter, in a figurative sense.)

mudmanc4 Posted September 19, 2014 CID Share Posted September 19, 2014 Running even at the lowest setting is great! We need a few folders to come in and get our team rank moving again. Even 10 points per day is fine, perfect actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanobot Posted September 19, 2014 CID Share Posted September 19, 2014 Well if I do it I'll just throw it on max settings. I just need to make sure that leaving my computer on doesn't kill my electric bill. (I throw it in Hibernate mode when I'm asleep or otherwise not home, so the energy impact is minimal.)

mudmanc4 Posted September 19, 2014 CID Share Posted September 19, 2014 You can always offset your machines energy use by keeping your icebox stocked with gallon jugs of water. Which would obvious keep the tempuratures more stable, and allow the compressor to run less often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanobot Posted September 19, 2014 CID Share Posted September 19, 2014 Well I'll find out what my monthly bill will be first, so I have a good baseline with which to work from. Based on my math if I were to allow my PC to fold constantly, it would cost at most ~$78/mo. Which is fine, as far as the electric bill goes so long as it doesn't push it very far over $250 or so. The only thing I worry about is the HDD and such, it's not a high-quality HDD. (Maybe soon I'll buy a pair of SSD's for it.) My last Work Unit was 12 Sept 2013...I'm way off the grid.

mudmanc4 Posted September 21, 2014 CID Share Posted September 21, 2014 That 78 bones is a compiled version of total usage yes? And you must be running a lot of equipment to get to that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanobot Posted September 21, 2014 CID Share Posted September 21, 2014 Well that $78 is assuming it runs at full power (730W) 24/7. Should end up drawing 525.6kWh, and at $0.148/kWh, runs to $77.7888. Not sure on it's actual usage, but that's the estimate based on the max draw of the PSU. Probably uses around ~500W in reality, which would be $53.28/mo ish. I might also throw the two Super-Micro's I have here in on the Folding. Not sure of their power consumption though. (I'll probably get a couple APC backup devices soon and use them to measure power consumption, as well as provide battery backup.)

mudmanc4 Posted September 21, 2014 CID Share Posted September 21, 2014 Should you not be calculating off the amperage per hour ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanobot Posted September 21, 2014 CID Share Posted September 21, 2014 I don't know the amperage per hour. The electric bill is calculated of kWh, so if you are drawing 6.63 amps (rough estimate of my PSU on 110V at full load) then you have .73kW, so over 1 hour it's calculated as .73kWh, over two hours it's 1.46kWh, etc. Thanks, EBrown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanobot Posted October 17, 2014 CID Share Posted October 17, 2014 Good news! I'm folding again! The 9800GT has been depricated as far as Folding support, so it won't be working unfortunately. But the GTX 560 TI is kicking away. (I thought I had a major issue because I only saw 100% CPU usage but it's working now.)

nanobot Posted October 17, 2014 CID Share Posted October 17, 2014 I don't know how long I'll be able to fold, it's really taxing that machine.

php Posted April 2, 2020 CID Share Posted April 2, 2020 So, yeah. There have been so many people folding that it's really hard to get work units. I suppose that's a good problem? If you leave it running, you'll get something occasionally. The retry algorithm backs off exponentially, so it can take a while.
