My main rig, with R5 3600 CPU (mining), RX 5700 (mining), and GTX 1660 ti 'Gaming X' (Folding), seems to be having some issues with the "Folding".
I don't know what's going on. It start off OK, and F@H was reporting 600K PPD for the first few days / WUs. (I had updated all three of my rigs with GTX 1660 ti cards with updated 441.41 drivers for Win10 64-bit DCH edition. Haven't checked the other rigs yet.)
For some reason, at the start of the race, F@H was allowing my RX 5700 to fetch WUs, and they had valid collection server IPs. But they all immediately errored, and then that folding slot showed a red "Error", until a reboot.
I had a problem, where my PC essentially locked up, and then it BSOD'ed with "DPC_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT" (some kind of serious system hang).
My GTX 1660ti is on a PCI-E 3.0 x4 slot.
Anyways, I had problems AGAIN, and my F@H PPD was down under 10K PPD, and the GTX 1660ti appeared stalled for some reason.
(*I'm not saying it's NOT the card, or my mobo, or CPU, because it was stalling while mining occasionally too. Temps seemed OK.)
So, I rebooted, re-installed 438.xx. (Grr, can't bring up NVidia control panel, says that I don't have a display attached to an NVidia GPU. I thought NV control panel still worked, with an NV GPU as secondary, without a screen connected? Is this new?)
I'm running F@H again, and installed of re-starting the stalled WU, it fetched another one, and it's showing 600K PPD again.
Part of the issue is, the CPU mining uses all 12 cores, for this new algo that debuted a few days ago, and thus far I have been unsuccessful at trimming it's thread usage down to 10 threads, as I had it before with the previous mining algo.
I'm just at a loss to understand, if the CPU usage of the mining was blocking the Folding, then why, when I stopped the miner, didn't the Folding pick up again? It seemed stalled.
Another theory, is that the RX 5700 fetched a WU, worked a little on it, and then the GTX 1660ti took over that WU, which had been "maligned" by the RX 5700, and didn't know what to do with it, and the folding process hung.
Do different Folding devices, take over stalled WUs that had previously been assigned to other devices?
