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.

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

I'll go pick up 20 5090's

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.

I hate that web interface too! Thank you for joining

Week long team challenge. If you can turn on extra machines for team 239902, do so during the last week of January. No need to join [H]ardForum, but you are welcomed to do so for trash talk purposes. When: The event will be Jan 24 10AM PST - 31st 10AM PST https://hardforum.com/threads/2026-7th-annual-folding-challenge-jan-25-31-2026.2045313/ I'm going to see what prizes I can put up for EHW, so stay tuned for that.

Looks like 24th now

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.

Am in il post on social media in a fews days!

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.

I have to ask, since you're probably the only other person here with a beast FX rig still running......... Does yours also happen to have a wireless forcefield surrounding the damn thing or something? Every time I turn my FX rig on, EVERY wireless device, even my cell phone, stops working if they're within like 10 feet of my FX rig. Walk 10 feet away, the wireless devices all of a sudden work fine again! I love that stupid rig.......

There were some serious server issues at folding@home this year. I stopped posting the monthly foldathons because of it. I assume they are back on track so if we have a descent turnout for the [H] competition I'll resume those.

Funny timing, I've just happened to return to the fold as well. Been folding on and off for the past year, but I started making a more concentrated effort yesterday. Running multiple rigs, but I'll have to see how the heat goes and will probably have to back things off for 24/7 operations, even in the winter. What's the general feel on folding on CPUs these days? Is there a temp target to shoot for? I have a 9800X3D that might be decent, but it hovers around 90-92C on a 280mm AIO. Great to be back nonetheless, happy to still see activity here.

GTX 960 is folding again for Mike.
