Re: Folding@home-Team Linux Mint-76140

Hi all, over the past week I have suffered a problem once the work unit has completed. Normally the upload and download would occur at the same time and would take but seconds. Lately the upload has been taking up to 16 minutes. Is anybody having the same issue? Any ideas welcome Best regards Keith

Re: system crash lost wifi

Hi JeremyB, thank you for your reply. I turned WiFi off and entered your commands one at a time. Now on Fast.Com it has gone from 13 Mbps to 17 Mbps. I will reboot the computer and see if that makes any difference. I shut down and then restarted. On Wifi Fast.com is 62 and on Ethernet it is 70. Many...

Re: Suggestions for New (Updated) Graphics Card

theonlylinuxpowers,

I have only ever run Nvidia graphic cards and never had any problems with them, mine run flat out 24/7.

Have you asked this forum for help with your current card, as it seems to be a bit drastic to be buying a new GPU if your one can be fixed??

Re: Folding@home-Team Linux Mint-76140

Hi Jeff13, The 4080 rig has an AMD Ryzan 5800x CPU which is known for running hot, but it is a decent CPU nevertheless, if you can control the heat. It has 8 cores and 16 threads and it is using 14 threads to fold at the moment, so running pretty well flat out, and so generates a lot of heat. It is ...

Re: Folding@home-Team Linux Mint-76140

Professor_Slughorn,

thanks for the reply. The site you pointed to does have clearer instructions than the ones I found, but I followed them to the best of my ability, but still failed.

I think that I will ask the whole forum if anybody can give advice.
