Building a Folding Farm

[Leganfuh]

Excellent Farm, You should be over 400 hour average when you running all EL-WU's. Thats what I average running 17 i7-920's

EL-WU? Wuz that?

Extra-Large WU... -bigadv WUs basically.

Back to OCN I go...

 

[Jmtyra]

Ah, gotcha. PS -- your previous avatar was cooler. Just sayin'

 

[zodac]

You are mistaken sir; this one is pink.

You're just jealous that we're only one place behind you now, and will be passing you soon.

I'm not jealous, I'm just sad that a fellow Irish person is folding for the wrong team

Louth... I think that explains things.

I think we're getting off topic here

Anyway, loving the farm Sfu, when will the third row of machines be starting off

Another question -- how much power do you run per month in terms of kWh and $$$?

No Clue, One of these days I will pick up a wattmeter and figure it out, but as of now I have no idea.

Oh, no sir, we can't have that.
I'll PM you...must get ol' sfu a kill-a-watt

I take it that means the Folding bill isn't coming out of sfu's pocket. Can't blame him there.

Heck... anyone can spend $10k on a Folding Farm... it's paying to run the damn thing that'll really get'cha!!!

 

[Jmtyra]

Well he has a kill-a-watt in route to him now, so we'll see what the numbers are soon enough.

Thanks John.

Anything for a fellow crazy and insane dedicated T32 folder.

Did you figure GPU folding is not worth it? My initial thought is that all those empty GPU slots are a waste. Even with an 8800GS in each system, that'd be another ~80k ppd. But that's not putting any thought into cost, heat, energy, etc.

Currently with the -bigadv WUs and super bonus points it is far less efficient PPD/Watt ie PPD/$$ to power company to run video cards in a dedicated farm

However the bigadv wus technically won't be around forever so a video card addition to all systems is good for future proofing but for a straight up most ppd for the least watts used and least heat produced, video-less is the way to go

Yeah I'm going to send him some rigs so he can power them there for me Actually I'll just show up. I believe from a previous post he's in Illinois

ROFL HE'S IN COLORADO
