I am anticipating to be back in the fold soon. Did you miss me
Actually I was looking at your profile the other day and saw where you stopped awhile back and was hoping you were ok.I am anticipating to be back in the fold soon. Did you miss me
Cooled off in New Jersey enough to Fold again? While you were offline, I managed to regain #3. And smasho just took over #4.I am anticipating to be back in the fold soon. Did you miss me

We appreciate your contribution to the SatelliteGuys Team! The new NVIDIA GTX 10-series (Pascal) cards are pretty impressive for the price compared to the Maxwell and Kepler cards that came before. The AMD cards are cheaper, but if Points are your focus, NVIDIA seems to be the place to be.I still got my same old stuff while alot of you guys upped your game.
Look who's halfway to his first hundred million! Congratulations to Magic_Static for reaching 50,000,000 Points!!!
And it's good to see johninbricknj back in the Top Ten in PPD for the Team! Every bit helps in our pursuit of 63rd Place (now under a week away!)

I finally figured out what to do with the 970 that was gathering dust since it was replaced with a 1070. Cobble together a system from old parts, plug the 970 in to it, and run Linux on it. W I know it's been more than a few years since I did anything with any flavor of Unix (anybody remember Wyse terminals?) but things sure have changed. Took forever to get folding to run - seems that the latest version of Linux-Mint is not very compatible with the latest folding. At least it's running now, ought to push me in to the seven figure range, and didn't cost anything.
I saw that NVIDIA had released a new set of drivers for my Ubuntu Folders earlier in the month, and I didn't see any negative posts over on the Folding Forum, so I updated my two machines the other day. It may be too early to make a positive correlation as to whether it had a significant improvement in the amount of work per time period that gets done, but I did see there were new options in the Control Panel app.
One change I made with the new Options was to "Maximize Performance". With that change, one thing I've noticed over the past few days is how much warmer my Folding Farm is! I open the door to the basement and I can tell it's much warmer than usual. I hope that translates to lower gas bills this winter. Since the AC isn't running, the fan is just running on low so there isn't as much air mixing going on.
The GPU temps are between 75-80 ?C. I hope that isn't too hot for the cards' longevity.

It looks like it worked:I finally figured out what to do with the 970 that was gathering dust since it was replaced with a 1070.

There are a couple of > 1,000,000 Points days! And your 24 Hr PPD Avg is now over 1 million!
Edit: I noticed that Voyager6 needs to check that sticky plasma injector again, or maybe his Chambers Coil is overloading the Comms, preventing contact with Stanford...
His production has dropped off the last few days. Nothing too serious, I hope.

It worked, but just before leaving for a week at the coast that system wouldn't reboot. The old motherboard wouldn't even post. Drat! Maybe Fry's will have something on sale soon.

Nothing serious. Just those pesky Windows updates have created havoc on my Folding machines. Need to reboot each one and add a copy of opencl.dll to the sytem32 folder. Dang Microsoft.
Full warp drive capacity should be restored this morning.
Another reason why I'm glad that I took the plunge to install Ubuntu over Windows on my Folders. Hop over to the Windows 10 subForum at Folding Forum: https://foldingforum.org/viewforum.php?f=101
