  1. It was one of the first things I noticed. My desk was totally empty and clean last weekend, it took me only one week to make a mess.. So for this picture I decided to clean it again My blinds work pretty good, my window is facing the south but I don't have any problems with light. And it's a lot cooler because of that. And I've got the same problem with cables, next time I'll clean it up with some velcro bands
  2. "for now" Also a random bullet on the desk, did someone threaten you?
  3. We should start a thread about this, and test a few different videocards on as much settings as possible. And make sure we use the same method to do so, to get comparable results. I don't think FAHBench is a good way to test, for some reason I don't get any load on the bus with a preprogrammed unit and a copied WU from the Fahclient doesn't work. I wouldn't buy a deal with most of the PSU's either, only if it's 1kw or more. And even a 3060 is welcome here, to replace the 1650
  4. Sorry for the delay, a 'nice' project at work is taking most of my time and energy. I only looked at the bus interface load on different cards at a few different systems but I never did a decent test because I could not get the FAHBench to work properly with a copy of a work unit. The unit on my main system is finishing as we speak, after that I'll give it another try to see if I can get something to work. I'd let you do some testing with the cards if I was living in the dungeon I want to do the same with the 3090. It's interesting that the TPF is 41 seconds higher with 55% PCIe utilization, I expected a higher utilization for such a significant increase in TPF.
  5. Nice, but that's pretty heavy! A C-clamp might work... But I love the idea. There is a backplate cooler for sale which uses rubber bands to secure the block, not sure about the looks though..
  6. Sounds delicious! I had a few Chokotoff toffees, and before that spareribs and fries at work. That's the upside of working overtime, at least we can order food And a whiskey, it's 9:20pm over here
  7. Is the Quadro 4000 also for F@H? That's always the same, even with the workstation build I'm doing now
  8. That's a great improvement! And it beats turning all those fans around
  9. Indeed, the hassle of taking apart a loop and an expensive GPU in a new system is not fun. Besides that, one would think that after years and years of making waterblocks they would finally know how to do it the right way.. I have a pair of FTW3's, one will remain air cooled. This card was on top of my list next to the Strix, but the latter was not available in the Netherlands (I haven't seen it in stock anywhere). And to be honest, most of my cards have been EVGA and they never let me down. As for waterblock, Watercool confirmed that they will make a block for this card. I recently messaged them and they replied that it would take only a few more weeks, let's hope that's true.
  10. Top Fuel is crazy! But I'm not sure if a pair of those clutches will hold that torque for long, same goes for driveshafts etc Being a salesman is in your blood, but it must have been a tight fit in that Mustang...
  11. Sorry to hear that about your GPU block.. I was not planning to buy one for my card, but since I'm still waiting for a Heatkiller block I was looking at a few other options. At least I know EKWB is not on that list anymore. Not many options left for now, besides waiting and keeping it cool with enough fans
  12. Haha so true, it's hard to quit listening/watching all those songs and their reactions. I hope we can go to concerts soon, though I'm sad that Marko Hietala had to leave Nightwish. Sounds good, that sort of music works good for me while driving. Welcome to EHW ozlay
  13. Not sure what kinda clutch setup would support that much torque, but once everything is fully engaged you will tear up the road
  14. An engine like that should be behind you, so no problems with the leg room Maybe a little bit off topic, but I'm pretty sure car guys can appreciate a big engine. This is what an engine I work on with 141L/8604ci of volume looks and sounds like at 1170rpm with 2.6bar / 38psi of boost(somewhere around 20000Nm/15000ft lbf. 2 of these were in the ship, pulling around 70 metric tonnes. I love those medium speed engines, but this one is running a bit too high imo. 20210204_105405_001_001.mp4 And this is what it looks like outside
  15. In Dutch ninja's is correct, just saying...
  16. Not sure if it could cause this issue, but do you have the PCIe slots set to gen 3? That might reset too after a clear CMOS. And the system looks good with all those cards in there
  17. That is massive, what are the dimensions? And I thought the other case was a windtunnel, when fully rigged up with fans this thing will blow the caps from the motherboard
  18. Another update coming soon Is it me or is the picture not working? I love tools, got a van filled with all sorts of specialized tools for the work we do. Lots of it is self made. A good thing they rebrand it and sell it anyways, throwing good tools away because of cosmetics would be a waste.
  19. I've been running the advanced flag for some time, not that the 13446 is a great unit but at least it is consistent and not extremely low.
  20. A moment of silence for the HD7850, may your temps be low and your clocks high in the land of no power limits!
