I've got it working, so here it is: Summary From now on it'll be easy for @Avacado to see how much hardware he needs to keep online to win

You could give it a try, but I doubt it'll spool a 220lbs turbo meant for 47L/ 4 cilinders There are 2 of those on that engine, 94L inline 8, 11000kg dry weight with 2khp/13000Nm at 1100rpm..

I had plans to give it a try this weekend, but I have to work on Saturday. Maybe next weekend.. I've got to replace one of these, 50cm/20" diameter!

One step closer! Is there room to hide cables under the PSU?

I would do the same with lightning, but besides that there's not a big chance of power loss over here. Stay safe ? Both entered for prices? Lol

There is a lot more difference between a 'good' vs 'bad' unit on a 3090 than a 2080. The 13446 units are around 6.5 mil ppd, a 16604 unit is around 8.2 mil ppd and a 17730 can be up to 9.4 mil ppd. Nice, another 6mil ppd Also, slot type: CPU Core 22, that's weird.. Sorry to hear that, you were doing better than me.. Will they be back online soon?

Explains a lot... ? I'm sorry I wasn't around anymore at that time to enjoy that stream..

Subbed It's not going to be easy to fit a full loop in there, that was not really my plan anyways. If I would do it I would not put any of the rads inside, only a big one on the back with shrouds or spacers to give it enough clearance for clean air. The pump/res could be mounted above the 140mm intake fan with a bracket so you will have some 'cold' air for the motherboard too. Not sure if there is an option to create some extra room by (partly) removing the HDD bay, which I never use anyways. [edit] Are you not afraid of air in the pump if you mount the rad this low? Might cause some noise or damage. PS: I love the reason why you are doing this, I hope that GPU will fold for a long time to remember Mike!

There are cards in stock over here, but the webshops are scalpers now... For a 3080 they are asking well over what I paid for a 3090 a few months ago, I really feel sorry for anyone thinking that it's worth the money. And feel free to become a Nederlander, if you don't mind paying $0.30 per KWH It would have been cool, but she doesn't care about anything tech related.

I'll add the passkey to a few cards Saturday for validation, after the competition has ended. Not sure which card or CPU will receive the passkey, most likely a 2080s or ti. [edit] I was thinking about using a 240 AIO on the back of that case with some sort of extra shroud to give it some room between the back panel and the fans.

I found out my grandma upgraded her HTPC with a 3080, so she was generous enough to let me use it for the comp But seriously, it's only the main six cards folding: 2x 3090, 2080ti, 2080s, 1660ti and the 1650s. Pretty hot in the house right now, I'm sure I had a few good units looking at all the temps! Not if everyone is online, maxing out at a little over 30 mil ppd if every client is working on a "good" unit. Lowest today was 21 mil with 13466 units on all the cards. Haha, I'm not going to do that ? Stay safe ?

I only have one 5700xt left, but I ran out of PSU's lol But I meant online for the TC with a different passkey (just requested another one).

I'm sure that with a bit (lot) more experience it would have worked better, and would have saved me some materials. But it's not too bad, and I still have some things to build and I can always add an extra layer with those profiles On a side note, the system has been running strong for some time. With the 360AIO and folding on 12 threads the CPU stays under 40°C over ambient (57°C max) with fan and pump speed ranging from 50% at 40°C to 100% at 60°C and is at roughly 180kppd, just for testing though. Don't mind the mess, it was just for testing..

Thanks for the update, and thanks to Zodac, Axipher and 1337Lutz for working on this! If you need more hardware online, or different hardware for testing let me know.

Pretty cool to have all that hardware working! The only old AMD/ATI hardware I still have is an HD4650 and an Athlon 64 x2, no clue if they are still working.. That'll be a nice addition to the team PPD

I totally understand that, you can always get them in the original state if you want to sell them. And besides that, those backplates from Germany look pretty! We'll see what happens, I hope the new workstation will be fully functional. It has been folding with 2 cards on risers and one card in a slot for 24 hours without an issue.

It's always the same, there is no going back now.. What was wrong with them that they didn't fit? Cause a drill and a Dremel fix a lot of those problems

I can't even say that it looks bad, considering what's in that system! The only thing are those red PCI-e cables But those waterblocks look so cool that they make up for every imperfection.

Thanks E, have fun with the testing! Those profiles are so easy to work with! And the quality is outstanding, all the cuts are clean and perfectly flat. I did some drawings but it didn't take long before I decided I needed to have the frame in front of me to visualize and design everything. There are just so many options for the layout, it's not easy to settle for one and go from there. So I took some measurements and just ordered a whole lot of extra profiles, turns out I need more of those 90° mounting brackets but I have enough profiles. I've spent more than 5 hours just looking at the rack, changing a few parts, trying to decide what'll work and what not. I even fell asleep in a chair looking at it

Ah I see, checked out Techpowerup and there are a few nice cards with those specs! So I hope you'll get lucky and get a nice one ? Lol, I guess it's good to have a few spares. But 31 is a lot I had the same thing with NoiseBlocker and Scythe S-flex fans.. And now I have 16 Corsair ML140 fans, my new favorite! I'm sad they don't make a ML200 fans, I would have picked up 6 of them for the new project

The 3090 is so large, I almost had to move my res for it to fit. And I thought the Strix 2080ti was a big boy That mirror finished backplate has a nice effect in there, looking good!

Thanks! Yeah, that sage is so pretty! It's twice as heavy as all the other the boards I've ever had, feels like a quality part.

Wine rack, maybe a fridge or a beer chiller, so much room! The market is so messed up right now, that's a lot of money for a 1660. But glad you could get something to work with! How many of those do you have?? You buy a few packs a week

That should be no problem ? I've got a z170/7700k combo running without an issue, has been folding with 2 GPU's too. As for the 3090 bandwidth experiment, I've done some basic testing and have not seen more than 14% (4.48GB/s) usage of a 4.0 x16 slot with an average of 9% (2.88GB/s). So a 3090 will hit the max of a 3.0 x4 (4GB/s) slot every now and then, but I've not tested what that means in TPF/PPD. I could not get FAHBench working with a copied beta workunit, will try that again later.

Update 1: Building the frame and the motherboard tray. This is the hardware I received, 20x20mm aluminium profiles in two sizes: 100cm and 40cm (39.4" and 15.75") and a few bags of hardware to connect everything. This is the basic layout, every profile can be moved besides the 4 top corners. I took apart my old CM690 for templates, the first one being the motherboard tray. I used a piece of 2mm sheet metal cut to 25x30cm and drilled/tapped holes for the standoffs. The finished motherboard tray and the graphics card mounting profile with threaded holes to secure the cards. Passed the QC The motherboard fits perfectly on the tray, and the tray is attached to the profiles with the same locks and hex bolts as the other profiles. Looks empty, but when I'm done there should be five graphics cards, 2 PSU's, a monitor, keyboard and mouse on this frame. The monitor mount will be on the left, and once the final state has been reached the other standing profile will be cut down to the GPU mounting profile height. The tall frame makes it easy to work on, and I'll have some storage room under the frame.
