As much as id love to join between the insane heat here in Florida rn and the lack of any spare cards i really cant. All my gpus are in systems for my roommates to Lan and while my bottom 980ti already idle folds anytime the system is on its set to a 60c limit (700mhz avg) Running full bore will boil my room and cost me another arm on top of the already insane a/c electric bill. Once i get a more efficient spare card back or closer to winter id love to join for some fun monthly battles tho. Gl ya'll and may your electric bills have mercy lol.

Yea those are the only 2 i found also. Corsair has apparently been marked out of stock for months on and off. Hopefully i get a notification of a restock soon. I asked their chat and he said it wasnt discontinued at least. MNPC is the only instock one and 50$ for a technically used panel plus shipping is just a bit much. Id kinda rather just buy the case during a sale and hijack a panel lol. We'll see as the weeks go by i guess.

I can safely say i had the most crashes out of everyone, i'll take that award. Also repasted my 980tis today and got the temps back in check. Nice and clean. What isnt clean is my apartment. Dropped my 570X Side panel 3 inches onto my desk as i went to set it on the case and it exploded like a ballistic missile. I had glass 20ft across my apartment. And of course everyone is out of stock on them. If anyone has a Corsair 570X Case / Side panel they'd be willing to sell hmu xD.

Fans, never got around to watercooling them. Both were running per the fan scale i set. 0 load. 70% fan speed. 153 degrees. Almost like it failed running a WU and just never stopped running it or something. Ive had bad overclocks n such before but this gave me a red Failed in FAH and was just reading like a maniac so ive zero clue. System restart and letting it finish the WU's it was doing then i will dive deeper into the issue. Id upgrade if anything was even available...

I just got home to my main system being basically shot dead. FAH Errored out, first gpu flat out Failed?! Never seen that before. Temp at idle was 153 degrees no load. Something def isnt right. I knew these Kingpin cards had crap reliability but i was really hoping they'd hold out for this. Hopefully it just needs a repaste or something. Been fine all week though. Odd to happen all of a sudden. On the plus side i hooked my HTPC 780/9100 to the 1000 watt platnium psu next to it and its been stead 550k ppd all day no black screens. That 500w evga just cant hold it up i guess. But you got the win here @BWG I was going to stomp up but much like Icarus i got cooked to death by a gpu lol.

Is 500 watts enough for a GTX 780 and a I3-9100f? Im getting desperate trying to figure out what keeps causing these dropouts. The system just wont stay up. It keeps black screening every 10min to an hour. Always random. Never a BSOD. No logs. Occasionally on restart i get a board error and no post. Another restart fixes it. Ive added fans to the back of the gpu and to the cpu vrm. No overclock, no xmp, no turbo boost. Im out of options. Any of yall have a clue?

Welcome to my hell. Getcha fan out cause its a bit toasty here this week. ?

Walked into my apartment after work and was hit with a wave of heat like no other. 85 degrees in my apartment with all windows wide open and about 70 outside. At least it isnt full on summer here yet. Also lost the 9100f/780 system at some point again today. This MSI board REFUSES to stay stable at full stock. It randomly just dies, gives multiple cpu and ram errors and wont post and then on like the 5th restart it boots like nothing is wrong. MSI plz make better boards...

Ok, well Florida had a rare little thing called a Cold Front. Now that i dont have to run my A/C 24/7 i decided to bring out all my hardware. I aint no 7th Realm God like Avacado or Bastiaan. But hopefully i can nip at the heels of the gods like a chihuahua. Added in a GTX 780, RX 570, R9 270X, and a Intel i3-9100f. The other board is only a skylake pentium so it already has its hands full just trying to exist. Of course the MSI ITX Board for the 9100f refuses to be stable in existing so only 2 cores folding for the 9100, 3 it crashes because why not. Added up its about another 900-1mil ppd on top of the 2x 980tis that have been consistent at 2.8mil. Woo.

Did they update how WU are cranked out in the year since i last folded. I dont ever remember the client telling me 2.8mil ppd with 2x 980ti's. Or is it like a welcome back bonus ?

Time to burn the dust off my 980ti's. Hopefully both of them can manage 12+ WU's a day. Havent folded in a while, Trying to preserve the cards. Kingpin models arent known for their reliability sadly. If nothing else i at least have a winter heater sitting next to me for a week lol.

Really wanted to upgrade when Cyberpunk came out as DX12 doesnt support SLi and almost no devs care about Explicit Multi-GPU. My dual 980ti's are awesome but they are definitely struggling at 1440p when forced solo. I just wish my Kingpin models could overclock just a bit more, 900 series was really tapped out on launch basically. If i could find a reasonable used 1080ti or 2080/ti id do that but ive a feeling im just better waiting another year for the 4000 series or something. Who knows.

I just tried a RX 470 i had laying around and same exact issue. But if i use the GTX 780 i have it boots no issues, Same with a GT 620. The system im testing on is a i5-6400 on a Asus Z270 Mark 2, Which is a newer and uefi board. All cards boot zero issues on the test system. But go to the MSI board and anything amd wont post. Updated the board to the lastest bios too. So perplexing that its amd only. Tried 4 bio's on the RX 570, Unless i try another manufacture bios on the card it hasnt worked. Motherboard was on the first release bios, updated to latest and no change. I did try resetting with the battery aswell. Sadly this is a ITX board so i got one slot. I can get into the bios with the Nvidia cards like i said above, ive tried changing the bios around with UEFI and CSM but it hasnt done anything. I can try dropping to 8x or pcie gen 2 to see if that helps. Such a odd and annoying issue.

That link is for the Fury X and Nano, but i did try some other bios versions. I tried all 3 from gigabytes website and one from techpowerup. Im not sure if i should try another manufacture's bios maybe? Do you think there is a chance that would work? But all the versions i tried had the same result. Half second fan spin at best and no post. Stops on cpu for all versions. All the gpu bios versions support uefi so i dont think its a bios issue but at this point it could be anything. Maybe msi just has it out for this card lol.

Ive got a real interesting issue im curious if any of yall have experience or ideas whats going on. I just picked up a MSI H310I Pro with a Intel I3-9100F off ebay. Got the parts in and found the cooler had broken off and was tumbling around the case during transit. Tested just the cpu and some ram, No issues. Posted just fine as far as i could tell with no gpu ( went through all the post lights no issues ). I then assembled the system thinking i was golden. Go to boot it up, and im stuck on cpu post. System is the above with a Gigabyte Aorus RX570, 16gb (2x8) Geil 3000mhz ram, and a 128gb m.2 ssd. Black screen and gpu fans not running. They move for a half second on initial start but nothing else. Unplug gpu, Golden. So i thought either my gpu is dead or the pci slot is bad. Put gpu back into my old system, boots no questions asked. Install a old gtx 780 to the msi board, Bam boots no issues everything detected. I updated the bios to the latest version and tested again, No change. Also tried 2 other known good power supplies, No change. Im at an absolute loss on whats going on with this combo of parts. Anyone have any clue? Thanks~
