The new Hexus Teams - Setting up Folding at Home

[Jonatron]

I've joined the HEXUS folding team! I can feel the heat

Back in the UK now, is there a way to force Ncov Folding?

Should be able to go to Configure and then choose your cause, set it to the COVID cause, if they have any work units left to fold.

All i've got is Any, Huntingtons, Alzheimer's and Cancer.

You set it to "any" to do ncov folding. Not that there are any workunits to do most of the time. Right now I'm in Linux in CPU mode only and there isn't any work available. Perhaps if I boot into Windows it will find some GPU work, but it sounds like the NCov folding is a CPU only task.

The only Covid units I had were GPU based.

Nice to know. I've looked up some of the projects my machine has been given on this list, guess I've had an unlucky sample of the GPU only saw non covid work (though I'm happy to do that as well).

If I had some spare hardware I would put a machine in the conservatory, it could do with heating in there

Yeah I had to take my CPU ones off as it was hitting the 90s (it is a 4yo AIO, tbh, not sure what the sitch is we expiration on these) and my GPU seems to have got stuck in already.

I started on 11745 which definitely is Ncov, but not on 11746 which isn't showing any results at all on Google?

Again it's been a *long time* since I've done any F@H work, when does it update on the the leaderboards?

A few days ago the stats all seemed to say nothing but "Bad Gateway" so I think it is being actively worked on

My GPU is chugging away on 11742 which is Ncov.

I check stats here when folding. Usually takes a couple of hours to be updated, and didn't have the downtime that DwU mentioned.

Thanks, that is much better than the page I got clicking on the link in the client.

It also says I have climbed 111 places within the team today. I shall pwn you all, bwahaha!

Edit: Though it only shows 4 work units, the official table shows the one I submitted this morning.

I've been locked out of the UK by borders closing and can't fold, due to fear of electricity bill causing angry girlfriend. Plus some minor BSOD concerns..

It's nice to see people picking this up though, I'm used to Vimeous and Karlos007 being the only active company.

11746 is also Coronavirus related, you can enter the numbers at the bottom of the page for a description. It seems to be better now but initially it was struggling to stay up-to-date with the new units. https://apps.foldingathome.org/project?p=11746

Yeah my CPU was also exceeding 80C despite being a 65W 7700 (non-k), I believe many of the CPU work units make heavy use of AVX.

Where have you found yourself? (Purely out of interest)

I'm on 11748 now on GPU, turned CPU off.

RE: CPU - in terms of wattage, HWMon was reporting 45W for me on a 6700K (no OC) with every core at 100% but it still was getting in to the 90s and the GPU only folding hits CPU pretty hard too, around 20% for me so decided to stick to GPU only.

That's annoying, I seem to have a finished work unit that won't upload. Am watching the amount of credit it is worth slowly dropping.

Edit: As if to call me a liar the unit went through Dropped from being worth 8000 to 7000 points though, I presume there is a bonus for fast results? Guess their network is hammered if they can't keep up with returns.

I now have 540,060 credit and 35 WUs since starting, not bad.
