I will be folding all month. EVGA has honestly gone above and beyond offering an astounding 16 prizes this round. This is the first time EVGA has offered this for the folding contest, and I would feel absolutely terrible to ask for more of them after all they have done.
If I could scrape it up, I would purchase the board myself, but funding will be the issue.

Completely agree. As I previously mentioned, we all fold what we are able. We do not ask nor want anyone to fold beyond their resources. Similarly, we should not do so of EVGA. They already go far above and beyond in supporting the folding team which was founded by members of this forum.

why is everyone having issues with 0x21's?? i dont have any issues with it. mine is almost giving me 800k lol
I think you misunderstand, most people are thoroughly enjoying them. Even if it completely wrecks the PPD estimate I gave last month. I'll just have to play more dota 2 to compensate.  As of the last roughly two days I'm finally getting 21 projects more often than not.

I get a rotating diet of both Core x18 and Core x21 projects and haven't had any more bad WU returned lately. But when I had two Core x21 WU loaded and running at the same time my ppd dropped down to 610,000 from an average of 750,000+.

Thanks for the warning. I was getting ready to update when these identical WU both finished at 11:30 but I just threw that idea right out the window.

I am getting garbage for points 1 or 2 units finished and low points for every single work unit that is completely. I dropped to 1.2m yesterday from 1.46m of my normal PPD. I may have to get someone to go reboot my PC so it can run better... It went for 10 days straight without a single issue.

You should have someone check your log file to see how many bad WU you have had or how many times it encountered bad data and had to go back to a previously known good check point. Just a thought.

people talk about various cores. Ive never seen anything but x18 myself. I know when i first started the folding for the bucks and did very rough looking up, some cores are for different cards. Others talk about flags. Ive just left my client at default setup other then deleting the CPU because way too hot for way too little points.

Wow that sounds familiar. I also dropped about 300k ppd yesterday. No bad wu's warning just very slow on 1 machine. I restarted it a couple times because the desktop wasn't very responsive, didn't seem to help. Should have made a note of the project number. This morning I installed the latest driver and all seems to be back to normal. My other machine wasn't affected . Just getting some very odd behavior. Some core 21s have great point potential and some are just awful.

So far everything seems stable, so its looking more like that was an external to the house problem. *knocks on wood, crosses fingers, toes, and eyes*

The last time I could afford to fold for a full month was in May when the current objective was to overtake Default. I would be willing to continue folding nonstop for the entire month if EVGA would award the participants with a Z97 Classified motherboard. You might think this is a ridiculous request but in essence it is a win-win situation for all involved. We get a motherboard that can fit more video boards for better folding production and EVGA gets a big tax break for a donation towards continuing medical research.
Do you not think that EVGA is already awarding us with EVGA Bucks is not enough? It would be like asking Stanford for a computer to Fold their Programs or Tasks that is.

New 358.87 drivers were just released. Every time I update my drivers my ppd goes through the roof for a while. I'm afraid of losing a WU if I shut down to update.
Anyone know where NVIDIA moved the Cache Folder to?

I am using EVGA Precision X 16 to set the Clocks and Voltage.
