December Boards Foldathon

08-12-2010 11:23am#1What is the Foldathon:
Ok, so last month wasn't our greatest (out of the two we've had so far
), but December should be something special. We've got 20 active Folders for the team at the moment, and 21 Folders signed up. Plus, it's winter, and with the weather we're having, why not fire up another rig to bring some heat into the house? 
So, 158k in October and 113k in November; let's try and do a bit better this time around, alright?
How it works:
Run Folding@home for team boards.ie (number 39432) during the specified times. If you don't know what Folding@home is, feel free to make a thread in the forum or check these guides:
What is Folding?
CPU Folding
GPU Folding
When?:
Wednesday December 22nd (5pm), until Friday December 24th (5pm).
Sign-Up:
No need to sign up again if you took part last month.

Right... seems the Foldathon is going to have to be delayed:
SourceOne of our main server rooms will be undergoing maintenance on December 16, 2010. This will mean some of the FAH servers will be off line on that day. It looks like most of the key FAH infrastructure will be up, but there will likely be WU shortages on that day since a large fraction of machines will be down.
We are working to optimize what we can by distributing jobs to servers in other server rooms, but we wanted to give donors a heads up in advance so they know this is coming.
So... how about a weekend Foldathon instead? Friday to Sunday? 0 -

<---- Idiot who forgot why we changed the dates in the first place.
Right... well... ideas anyone?
I won't be able to do it 20th-22nd, but any other dates this month are fine with me. If we're taking out weekends, we've got 3 options:
• 13th-15th (a bit soon though...)
• 23rd-25th (CHRISTMAS!)
• 27th-29th
What suits you lot best? 0 -

I completely forgot about this until today
. Still, I did have the ps3 folding on and off for the last couple of days. Could a pm the night before be arranged? That would help my scattered head a lot (or I could always set an alarm on my phone):P 0 -

Thanks aidan.This may be a really stupid question, but the folding at home thing on the PS3, does that sync up with this? I like the idea of being helpful and if I could use that I'd be game?
Yeah, that works fine. Just make sure to sign the form in the OP, and you're ready to go.

Nicely done. Wait... that's not good is it?
Also, my PS3 points aren't registering at the moment. Hopefully it's just Stanford servers and they'll all be recreditted soon. 0 -

Nope... the fan keeps doing weird things, vanishing, it came back a while ago and the temp is now down to 58C, it's nearly on par with the CPU@load....
I think there's a dry solder on the GPU fan... only explaination for it turning on/off randomly under heat. 0 -

I've got that on my 9800GT (or something similar at least). Every once in a while the fan will just stop working for a few minutes, and temps will soar. Then it kicks in again.
