I've purchased running vehicles for less than this handful of RAM... Both 48GB kits. Dominators are 7200CL36, Manta XFinity is an 8000CL38 CUDIMM kit.

I will try that looks interesting. Thank you. I tried $ sudo nvidia-smi -pl but power limit would just go down to 250. PPD started falling so I went back to default. I may have not given it enough time. I did notice that boost clock speeds are about 100 less than windows, but better ppd. I wished the new client would show just the credit for the wu like the old client so all I have for reference is the ppd numbers.

I use LACT to lower power consumption on most of my Linux machines. GitHub - ilya-zlobintsev/LACT: Linux GPU Configuration And Monitoring Tool GITHUB.COM Linux GPU Configuration And Monitoring Tool. Contribute to ilya-zlobintsev/LACT development by creating an account on GitHub. Wish there was a Linux version of Afterburner since I like setting an undervolt curve vs just capping power limit. Pretty much all RTX 40 and 50 series are really efficient for folding and respond well to undervolt or power limiting.

Its bouncing between 237 - 281 watts but that is default. Since I am fairly new to linux gonna see how to lower the power usage. On windows I had it set on 230 watts and oced to over 3000 but ppd was lower than linux. Once it ramped up I had 1 wu that was over 24m but now it settling in at high 19 to lower 20s constantly.

How many watts are we talking for that 5070 Ti? Seems like a folding monster!
-
Below is the average since September on my machine with a 5070 Ti. Running Windows since that's primarily a gaming machine. It's waterblocked on a MO-RA3, so it probably stays boosted a bit higher. Your results are within the range of what I'd expect. They are great cards.

Completely redone my folders that do not fold much anymore. I believe I am ready. Not gonna be a danger to the big dogs tho. -
Got a new card. 5070Ti. Started folding to break it in. On Win 10 591 drivers ppd started at 13m slowly worked up to a high of 19m but only on 1 wu. Normal daily averaged 16.5. It was doing a little better than what it showed on Lar"s site. I decided to try it on Ubuntu 24.04 same stock settings. Ubuntu started at 14m up to a high of 20m. That 20 came after a long run of 18m wus. Ubuntu is using the 580 drivers. What have you guys noticed? Anyway happy with the 5070Ti.

I hate that web interface too! Thank you for joining -
This time of year I tend to fold occasionally just for the heat. If by chance that should happen during this event, there is no need to include me in any part of prizes. On another note, I do miss the advanced control interface. This browser based control annoys me and seems somewhat limited compared to the old advanced console.

Sadly, my latest purchase is a downgrade of my Internet speed tier with Xfinity down to what feels like the mid-aughts stone age for me at 300 Mbps (which I just tested to 360 Mbps) for $80/month because my gigabit contract expired and the price is going up from $88/month to $119. They do offer a $10/month discount for autopay with a bank account for all their plans, but I refuse to essentially consent to extortion with no consumer recourse. Companies like these will be paid via credit card every damn time. At least I'm off-contract now so if I ever do decide to switch to the other shitty customer service experience in AT&T (unlikely because I'm still bitter toward their relentless door-to-door commissioned contractor sales tactics), I won't pay any early termination fees.

I can't believe it's come to the point where you can buy a mac book for the price of 64Gb of Ram. I saw that and was just like *? Then I was scrolling through newegg and the price shock even with the holiday sales was enough to just make me close the page.

Well I have a Steelcase Leap so I understand.

I'm actually going back from a regular desk chair. I know I'm weird, but my most comfortable chair ever was a gaming style chair. I'm hoping this one will be as comfortable as my old one since it's not made anymore. I kept it so long I wore the seat out, recovered it and wore it out again. The chair I'm sitting in right now is one of those fancy pants chairs that use what I can only describe as trampoline material instead of an actual cushion. Everyone in the reviews swore they were the greatest ever. Me, I think it's an over glorified trampoline lol. I dunno, I might regret buying another gaming style chair. Either way, I wish you the best of luck tracking down that CUDIMM kit
-
I've always thought gaming chairs were a scam. If you want to spend decent money, at least get a good chair like a Stealcase or Herman Miller. Something that's actually rated to be sat in for hours at a time without wrecking your back. As for my most recent purchase... Picked up a delidded Core Ultra 265K. Now to track down a decent CUDIMM kit without selling any organs
-
uh oh, new fear unlocked.
-
I have a evo 2022 model.... I hope your chair doesn't squeak as bad as mine.... its horrible.
-
sooo... I just spent more on a chair than I spent on my first car. Secretlab Titan Evo XL McLaren preorder. I'd put a screenshot, but kinda ashamed how much I just blew on a chair. Still, I hope it will end the frustration of dealing with cheap chair that I always keep breaking.

Prize for MOST WORK UNITS completed during challenge. Sorry USA only unless you want to pay for shipping. Board is just a couple months old. Was in my main rig and I just upgraded. Has a chonker VRM and tons of USB and great audio. Ideal for a streamer or studio work.
