starting to get cold, Time to see what this Vega64 can do
I believe soā¦ Although Iām not folding on Linux at the moment so I canāt confirm or deny it for Linux.
Last winter I did some folding if stays cold I might have to fire up some folding @home If have couple computers that could do that 6 that could let it run fairly easy.

Thinking I might be doing the same this year.
its hot enough to use the AC on low so no folding today, tonight maybe if it drops
Itās 55 and raining today. Perfect folding weather. Keep the office window open and itās a nice 75 in there all day.

My mom was like ādonāt you want a heater for your room?ā
steps into my room thatās 10C and 30 decibles louder than the other rooms in the house

I am going to wait to tell temps are in the 30ās on average. Having 6 computers on folding add some heat to place.
Around here itās starting to get colder now so Iām pretty much folding 24/7 apart from when Iām gaming on my rig
Since I cleaned out my dust filters my case temperature doesnāt go as high anymore so itās not as cozy anymoreā¦ the struggle is real 
Since your not inside the PC case, thats not actually the impact youāve had on the room. The PC isnāt actually drawing noticeably less power just because the filters are clean (indeed chances are the GPU will draw MORE under full load, as voltage/clock-speed are dynamic to temperature from factory), thus its putting the same amount (or more) of heat into the room, and itāll be just as cozyā¦ or even potentially warmer.
Which is why I was not talking about power draw, but case temperature.
With the dustfilters clogged thereās obviously less fresh air, which means less cooling capacity, which means more heat accumulating in the case. Since my PC is under the desk it is extremely noticeable that it isnāt as warm anymore after the cleaning.
Hey @wendell!
Any chance you could test the Rx 6000 cards for folding? Iād be interested to see what kind of performance they have.

Theyāll be good. Just a matter of how good.
I too am interested to see how well they do.
Yeah I donāt expect them to suck eitherā¦
Iām really want the RX6900XT but my local currency has not faired well against the almighty $$$ since the pandemic hit. Itās doing better now, and hopefully much better when they appear in stock sometime in 2021š¤

Anyone know the PPD and average power consumption while folding of the 6800XT? I havenāt been able to find any info on them as far as folding goes yet.
INB4 they are still new.
Yes, I know, but I want to know now because Iām curious. Answers fast better than answers slow.
I havenāt found anything either. Keeping an ear to the ground though. Will let you know.

This is a good page to check out 
Looks like the numbers are not too convincing yet, but that might change in the future with some new drivers and maybe F@H getting better coding for the new cards, although this last part iām not qualified to answer.

Mh maybe anyone of you got an ideaā¦
My Workunit is finished, but it is stuck uploading for a day now and I canāt get it to complete. And it wonāt start the next unit until the upload is doneā¦
It tries periodically or when I manually Pause/Resume folding on that slot, but the result in the log is always the same:
12:52:17:WU01:FS01:Sending unit results: id:01 state:SEND error:NO_ERROR project:14816 run:2453 clone:0 gen:216 core:0xa7 unit:0x000000f7455e42060000000009950000

12:52:34:WARNING:WU01:FS01:Failed to send results, will try again later
Itās completing the upload and then telling me to wait and failing? Doesnāt really make senseā¦ any ideas? I guess I could just delete the slot and re-create it but I donāt really wanna do that when it looses the work 
edit:
Well 2 hours later and it finally worked itself outā¦
