That's a sad but relatable story how you got into folding. For me it was my brother who had Hodgkin's lymphoma cancer, though he went through hell he recovered from it. A few years later I found out about F@H on OCN and decided to give it a try. At that time I lived with my parents, and they never had a problem with all the hardware folding, the power draw(which I paid for) and the heat. That heat is a problem like you said, I have some sort of office where 2 of the systems are. It doesn't really matter how hot it is in that room if I'm not at home, and I just shut down some hardware if I need to work in there on hot days. In the winter it's the best room to be in, nice and warm

Congrats on the 500mil @Supercrumpet and thanks for the kind words guys I received the power bill a few days ago, though I knew what was coming it was still a lot of money For now the clients are getting ready for the FaT for the other forum, after that they'll return here! @Minotaurtoo It's not about how much you do, every unit helps! It took me a year to get the first 15 million back in the days, keep it up ?

I've seen 1.4 mil for a few months, but after that it dropped and never came back up. That was with watercooled MSI mech oc's on 2ghz, just the original boost clocks.

Average on those charts looks the same as I saw on my cards for the past few months. I pulled the 5700xt's out for a single 2080ti though, so no recent numbers from my cards.

Thanks for sharing Sadly I was too late for the Valhalla content..

Well, if we would only receive "good" units it would be nice. The lowest I've seen was somewhere around 5.8 mil ppd, usually between 6 and 7 million and with some of those good u nits it's over 8 million. It is a beast though, not only in performance but also in size and powerdraw

In as Bastiaan_NL The Gold membership from last month has not been claimed yet.

I finally received a few units that seem to use the 3090, 99% load and 455w power draw. 8.3 million ppd with 520k points for a single unit

I've seen that avatar before Welcome

I agree that the 4 pin is optional, but I refuse to use this board in it's current state. And I don't think we'll be overclocking the CPU at all, he should be fine with how it is Waiting for that board to return sucks indeed, and as much as I like building computers, having to do it all again for this reason isn't fun either. Yeah, who knows what else is wrong with the board.

That looks nice! Good thing you installed grills on those fans

My brother has ordered the Ryzen 5950x with an ASRock x570 Taichi board, 32gb ram, a new m.2 ssd and a Corsair RM850x for his new build, and we've started building the system today. He already had the GPU and some SSD's and the rest is new. I noticed something was off with the 4 pin female CPU power connector next to the 8 pin connector on the board, it was turned 90° to the left. I own the exact same motherboard and on my board it's in the same orientation as the 8 pin. Now the next part might be a bit stupid, but I was assuming that they may have had a good reason to change the orientation of the connector. It never crossed my mind that it was a mistake, so we continued with the build. After finishing everything and connecting a monitor, mouse and keyboard I switched the PSU on and the motherboard lit up with the RGB. I pressed the power button and all that happened was a mild click from the PSU and nothing else, the RGB was still on. First I thought it had something to do with the bios being too old for the 5950x, but that click and no number/code on the led display made me think twice. I disconnected the 4 pin cable leaving only the 8 pin connected and it booted without a problem. Here is a picture from both the 8 pin and the 4 pin connector. If the connections under the connector are the same as on my board, it will directly short 12v to GND. That's why the PSU was clicking and nothing happened (let's hope so). After removing the 4 pin and leaving only the 8 pin connector installed I checked the CPU and RAM in the bios, everything was up to spec. If anyone has an idea what would be a good test once we've rebuild this system to make sure that nothing has happened to the CPU and RAM, please let me know. I personally think that everything should be okay, because there was a direct short between the 12V and the GND on the GND "rail", but just to be sure... We installed his GPU and other SSD's back into his old pc, and we'll return the board as soon as possible.

I also switched back to my own account, I hope you enjoyed the extra folding power @bonami2

I don't know much about guitars, but my brother likes to play Rocksmith too. That one looks good though Nice, they have some pretty nice stuff!

Haha, I like your style!

@tictoc The copper and black looks so sexy! Do you have any idea what that case weighs?

That looks clean, unlike the mess you would have with the original cables. Have fun with the data migration

Interesting, let's hope it won't happen again! The 2080s will start working on the first unit for you in a few minutes

Windows 10 64 bit pro, all the 3 systems are legal copies. It only happened one time on 2 of the 3 systems, just waiting for the third one now The mouse error is only on the main system though.

My brother ordered a 5950x too, just to mess with me and my 3950x I have to build the system for him, so I'll try to swap the cpu's without him knowing..

No you mention that, I have some weird stuff going on with my mouse too We'll see, I don't feel like reinstalling will help because I've seen it on 2 systems.

Thanks for organizing all of this @axipher Looking forward to your pm's @bonami2 and @tictoc

Nice update, I do like the idea of mounting all those controllers on a panel. Good way to hide it and make it easy to work on if needed. I can't wait to see more

So I had one of those weird crashes/restarts again, this time on the "third" system which can be seen in the low update on EOC. The system did not show up on the HFM app, but with the wireless connection I've had more of those things happen. I turned the monitor on, and it was still running. I only checked for a second, cause I was "busy" playing Valhalla and did not notice that it was actually frozen ? An hour later it still wasn't showing up on HFM.net, so I went back to the system only to notice that it was actually frozen, big facepalm moment After restarting the pc it was showing the windows update thing again, just like the main system did. But that one did shut down, instead of freeze. Just to be sure I turned the GPU oc down a bit, but I'm pretty sure that's not causing the problem. Nothing to see in the logs, so I don't know what is wrong..
