bandwith Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Thought I'd share this... Goal is to monitor the outdoor temps at the regional airport and start/stop folding accordingly. I don't wish to generate more heat than I need. Only run it once per hour to get the latest published weather updates. METAR reports are only updated once per hour. https://github.com/bandwith/limit_folding To keep the FX-8350 from crashing the mATX mobo, I've also found this useful -> https://github.com/Sepero/temp-throttle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black64 Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 I think a lot of folders already do this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandwith Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 I've done it in the past manually... I wanted to automate it for other reasons. I also watch for other high-cpu processes like HandBrakeCLI, ghb, ffmpeg, etc... and stop folding while those are running. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyper Threaded Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 I tend to do this already. During the hottest months, I don't fold on the GPU and sometimes I even stop the CPU client. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good...can't wait till summer Actually, I'll have my GTX 770 in a few weeks. One of those should produce around ~90k PPD. My 4930K at around stock + two GTX 770s under Windows 8.1 gets me ~208K PPD with old drivers, but using the new "game ready" ones no where near that maybe 40K ppd on a single GTX 770 using the 331 series. You guys get to beat me up atm due to the unexpected puppy bills. I need to shave money off the power bill etc so folding had to go on a break on the power hungry rig for now.

Hyper Threaded Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Ah, stick with older drivers for a while. Shouldn't be much of an issue, I recently went six months without a graphics driver update. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
