    Yeah, wiring can very so much between houses, even up to late 2000's it was rare to give each room it's own circuit. Here's a pretty typical setup I see here when replacing plugs and lights for people:

    1) 2 Bedrooms Plugs

    2) 1 Bedroom Plugs and Hall-way Plugs

    3) Bathroom Plugs

    4) Lights for 3 Bedrooms, Hallway and Bathroom Light/Fan

     

    Unless the room was built to be an office, pretty much count on it sharing with other adjacent rooms.

     

    At least it's not as bizarre as my parents house. There's a GFI in the family room that is also connected to an external outlet on the opposite end of the house lol

  2. Nice, I like the purple. My system has a very similar colour option which ironically is what it is set to now. Also I am glad to see I am not the only one using EPDM tubing :p

     

    It looks a bit more blue in person. I really like the color #4400FF, so I was trying my best to emulated it.

     

    And yesss I love the black soft tubing. It really discourages the use of dyes, since you can't see through it [iMO], so it makes maintenance a lot easier. Also, I am super happy with the Raystorm Neo WB, looks good and performs well.

     

     

  3. Okay so the big thing I will suggest is manually splitting your CPU into 2 slots: 1 slot with 16 threads, and 1 slot with 6 threads. This would reserve a couple threads for your GPU.

     

    Also, you may want to add the flag "next-unit-percentage" with a value of "100" for all of your slots. It seems to make grabbing WUs more reliable these days, espeially with the WU drought we've been experiencing.

  4. Hi Guys!

     

    I'm new here, but will be assisting the ExtremeHW team for folding at home for the Covid 19 Fight :) I've already started folding last night.

     

    I am using all cores on my AMD Ryzen 3900x as well as my GeForce 1080 Ti with a voltage limit of .875 (when folding, equivalent to about 65% card power usage)

     

    I do have a recommendation for those on Ryzen/Threadripper 3rd gen. Use 1usmus DRAM Calculator. Not only can it help assist you with Memory Timings/Voltages, but it also has a MEMBench /memtest built in.

     

    Under the MEMbench tab I recommend Memtest mode with a Task Scope of at least 200%. Depending on your memory speed/timings, I would let it run at least 30-40 minutes. If there are any issues with your settings/voltages, it will stop on 1st error by default.

     

    Hey and welcome!

     

    Would you show us a screenshot of your folding client configuration? Since you have that many cores, you may need to optimize the CPU slots a bit.

  5.  

    Brill advice for @mllrkllr88 bud. I actually remember back in the day now that you had to leave a Core to each GPU so it can manage the GPU things correctly when folding. If I get my CPU stable I will setup my folding client correctly this time for the CPU. Out of interest, if you do not assign a core to the GPU when CPU and GPU folding, I would imagine that just causes lower performance, not a system crash ?

     

    If you just let the system max out, and you don't spare a core for the GPU, the biggest thing that will happen is that the CPU will be splitting the load between the CPU WU and the GPU WU. Basically, having the extra free core allows you some headroom to ensure maximum PPD on the GPU.

     

    So yeah, no crash.
