Thanks for the information @franz and @tictoc ? Once I have the main rig back up and running it'll be the next thing on my list!

There's always something to keep you entertained.. Good luck ?

Hey @franz, do you think Ubuntu on a VM will give you the same boost or would it be less? I have been thinking about installing Ubuntu on my second rig, cause it's a dedicated system. After seeing this I should have gone that route..

Thanks I've never used SLI/Xfire, but I guess one 2080ti is powerfull enough for gaming anyways Only for folding I had 2 or 3 GPU's in a system, but never for gaming. With your possible upgrade to 30xx in mind it's a good thing to do I guess! I'd love to have a second 2080ti in my system for folding, but the power usage is already a bit high (~37 euro's a week for both systems at 1kw/h). With an other added 300W it would be almost 50 euro's for electricity a week for folding alone, and it's also getting a bit warm in my room And I would need to get a new PSU for that too, 850W would be nearly maxed out, I'm seeing a good 550-600W depending on the units with the CPU only folding at 50% and the GPU maxed out.

So, we are already past 600 and slowly climbing up on the 500 page. :wheee: Both my machines are doing great with the units I've been given the past days. With the perfect scenario I'm getting over 6.5mil ppd on the 5700xt's and the 2080ti combined. Soon the main system will go offline for some major overhauling, new case and new watercooling setup. Already working on it, but even with a case they call "XL" it's still a tight fit. Should have gone with a 1000D I guess ?

Pre ordered it, I can't wait

Sounds like pretty good temps, although it still confuses me that those junction temps are so much higher than the edge temps. 35c is a lot of temp difference over such a small area. On my 5700xt's it's 15-20c higher than the edge temp. Ah okay, you already had that card. It's been a long time since I've had a blower cooler, but I still remember the 100% fan speed sound! Not that running the 2 5700xt's at 100% is a pleasure for the ears ?

So that'll be another gpu for the main rig?

That's a lot of copper! What are your temps like with all those rads? Looks good, and added an other 1+mil ppd I see ? Can't wait for my watercooling stuff to arrive. 280 and 420 xt45 rads, GPU block for the 2080ti etc. And it's all going in a new Fractal Design Define 7 XL case :wheee: The second folding rig will go into the Haf 932 case after I get waterblocks for those GPU's too, but that'll have to wait for a bit.

I totally agree with the drivers being the cause of many problems. Reinstalling the drivers did not fix my issues though, MSI Afterburner was still not doing its job (wonky fancontrol, downclocking, vcore not adjustable etc. Turns out I wasn't the only one with the 5700xt having problems with software. I already removed the AMD control software right after installing the cards. Decided to reinstall the software and it works, clocks are locked and stable, and the fans do what I tell them

If you removed the 580 I'd give the AMD control panel a try. It works good for me with the 5700xt's although I need to load the settings after each reboot. And sometimes it doesn't show the right values on the performance page, but I use GPU-Z to check everything and keep an eye on max temps, vcore etc. Make sure to close MSI Afterburner if you use the AMD control, they don't work together.

Nice one ? You could always try to fold half the power or something, to keep it all going. I know I will once everything will heat up over here. Today I wasn't folding all out, the power went out and I have been working till 11pm. 10+ hours at idle

That's awesome! Thanks to all who donated ?

Sooo, last eoc update showed 30mil :wheee: All the clients are working hard to get some work done ? @NavJack27 I don't see any gains from the small packet size. The units are a bit smaller, so a bit more units per day, but the average ppd with all the random units is a bit lower. Yes there was a moment with a good unit where the ppd was higher than the big units, but that has only happened once. So for the work unit count it's good, overall ppd doesn't really matter.

I love all the colors ? Looks clean! I wouldn't mind having this on my desk

That is a cute and good looking case! Respect for fitting it all in such a tiny box, I always find myself buying bigger cases just to make it easy to install

@Uber_Reem Looks nice! Usually I'm not a big fan of the Noctua brown, but with a bit of gold and copper in your case it matches ? I love Fractal Design cases, I've got one on the way as we speak! Been using them for builds for friends and family a lot in the past!

Who knows, I might need that E

I have one of those 2080ti things, not overclocked. I'll give it a try once the new case is build with an extra rad just to keep the card cold I've only overclocked one GPU in the past 15 years, and all my CPU's besides the pair that is running now (too lazy I guess )

Nice, that's a lot of free points! Good units also make a huge difference, almost 50% ppd less with 3 cards doing low ppd units. @NavJack27 I'll give the small packet size a try. I'm only running 50% on my cpu, the rest of the cores is for chrome and to keep the gpu happy.

699 :wheee:

Sweet, one step closer ?

That's a decent price, fingers crossed ?

Parts parts parts! :wheee: As for the CPU, I totally agree with no overclock and non k. The only thing that matters is that it keeps up with all the cards, and that shouldn't be a problem.

Time to fire up the supercomputer in my basement if we want to beat LTT ?
