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~

Ive got a pretty simple yet hilariously stupid one. About 4-5 years ago on the release of skylake (6700K) I had managed to nab a 6700k just after release while i was on vacation no less. Well all the parts got delivered while i was still gone. After a 12 hour drive home, instead of sleeping out of exhausted excitement i decided to build the system and test it out. Well i was apparently so tired that i spent over 20 min attempting to install my 8-pin cpu connector backwards/swapped and I just could NOT get either side to plug in and i was dumbfounded. Ended up calling EVGA support and saying i think the connector is defective. Had me line up the notches one more time and try it. "Click" no issues. There was like 15 seconds of silence from me before i said, it worked. I apologized and had a laugh with the guy ( EVGA support is top notch ) But yea, not my brightest moment xD.

Nice to see it all survived the trip in one piece. Now hopefully it all works after the tumbles of international travel too. Funny those parts are going from retired hardcore 24/7 bitcoin life to 24/7 life saving folding research lol.

Shipped out my goodies (PSU, Risers, and a spare M.2 Drive) to E today. Let us all pray the box survives the trek over the pond in one piece.

And here i was happy that i just moved outside a decent sized city and went from 100mbs to 500mbs. Then i look here and this man posting his 2.1gbps internet. Now i feel like im starting up my AOL Dialup again... ( Tried tagging or uploading my results but no matter what way i try it, it refuses to load. I either dont have perms or it doesnt connect )

Imo the LG G6 is the last good/perfect phone they put out. Amazing feel in the hands, Great camera setup ( The first dual lens setup normal and wide ), Type-C, Wireless charging, IP Ratings, No BS front notch or camera hole, Micro SD Slot, fingerprint reader AND A HEADPHONE JACK. It launched at $650 which today is dang near unheard of for a top end phone. Then they threw it all away with each new phone. Going 3 years strong and i still have no interest in upgrading. The Asus Zenfone 6 almost won me over to upgrade but its been out of stock for months. LG just cant seem to upgrade their designs these past couple years stuck in the same mediocre feature loop. I really hope they pull out of this rut so i can upgrade and stay within their product lineup but im honestly losing hope.

Interesting choice using a mining board. I looked into using risers for a folding rig a while back and the research i did seemed to note that pci 1x is a bottleneck for folding depending on the WU or would something like those 1060's not matter as much? Cant remember if mid range cards were as affected. Outside that i do have 10x Spare PCI 1X to 16X Risers and a EVGA 1300 Watt G2 PSU ( 120-G2-1300 ) im willing to donate and look into shipping if your interested. Cheers. Edit: I also have a handful of 128gb m.2 drives on hand. Might also have a Sata to M.2 enclosure somewhere i can combine if you dont mind a smaller 128gb boot drive.

I havent had any issues on newer hardware no matter if its different speeds or timings personally. Though i would definitely recommend getting as similar a kit as possible for long term use and testing that kit solo then mixing is an even better way to verify long term reliability. Overall you shouldnt really have any issues.

Its been fun getting back into folding here and on overclock.net. I just wish WU's were more consistent. both my 980ti's have been idle prob over 50% of the time if not more. Was really hoping to crank some numbers out. What can you do though when the whole world is also busy cranking out lol.
