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 ?

The mods looking for the winners

Whohoo :wheee: In 2 or 3 updates we'll be sub 700 ?

Nice! Let's see if you keep getting work, if so then I guess it works ?

Ah okay, I didn't know that! I'd give this a try if I were you, lets see if it works! Go to FAHControl (the advanced client control) - Configure - Expert - and under Extra client options click on the +Add. In the "Name" box type "client-type" and in the value box "advanced". Press "Ok" and "Save". Now you have it set to accept late stage beta units. I prefer them over the early stage ones, less likely to cause any problems. But afaik it will give you a wider selection of units to receive, so more chance to fold on all the hardware. There are a few more Flags you can add, which can be found here: https://foldingathome.org/support/fa...uration-guide/ On an other note: I fixed this, by shutting down MSI afterburner, using the AMD Radeon app and setting the clock speed in a 100mhz window. Besides that, I undervolted the top GPU by 0.15v and clocked it down 150mhz. That dropped about 12c on both the core and junction temps. The bottom card is undervolted 0.1v and downclocked it 100mhz. Still stable, no noticeable ppd drop and a good temperature drop!

Well, I still have enough units to keep both the dedicated folder and the main rig running full power. Are you guys using any flags?

I always use the following flags: pause-on-start true Client-type advanced Next-unit-percentage 100 Seems to work for me! I'm doing a combined 5-6mil ppd at the moment
