Ha, that sounds about as special as I was being then:P 

 

 

Wait...confusion. How did that screw up the HDD ?

I think the needle is loose or something ...

Nice Mistio! Don't underestimate that 2070!

I am amazed every day what a good sport it is. It oscillates between 1.9 and 2.2M PPD. Some WUs are quite weird. I had one with 600K. I guess my shutdown timer was not calculated properly and it must have killed the machine during folding and this led to some weird stuff happening. 

I originally had a KFA 2080 card. 
Sadly my x58 refused to boot with it. 
So i read online that x58 has a bigger chance of working with a 2070. 

So I went back to the shop and replaced it. 

You will laugh at me but 6 months after I owned the card I realized this is actually a Galaxy card!!
I used to have Galaxy products when I was younger :). 

Yummy! Galaxy GTX 580 graphics

PS: i have some plans for next spring. 

Maybe prices drop in 6-7 months on 2070s and I will add a second one in this old rig. 

The new one will have a very strong GPU for gaming and i might get a second one for back-up which will act as a folder. 

Now if this forum grows bigger I will gladly push  4-5 GPUs for 8-10 M PPD. 

We will see if this will be an AMD rig or Alder Lake. 

Until then, easy does it

I wanted to snag a second card for folding but prices are insane. 
Tried fleabay but nothing decent there with good PPD and under 200 EUR

I can vouch for that. 

6 months ago I was cleaning my partner's laptop. 
It is a rather old one, with a platter HDD. 
There was an annoying fan sound and could not troubleshoot it. 
So I placed the laptop sideways without a bottom cover. 
Little did I know that by doing so and running Cinebench to ramp up the fans, I would f-up the HDD. 

The laptop HDD now makes a noise when you shift left around a horizontal axis.

Prices are rampant at the moment, but there are always those that will pay a premium just to have it.

Seems for good prices we need to wait for spring :(. 

In Mistio

Cool!

I started early to catch up with you folding gurus!

I can also offer a prize : a game or games of your choice with a cap at 70 EUR. 

A platform that can send gifts (ie : steam, GoG, etc). 

I will admit, I am impressed by this keybioard!

Banned because I have to wake up at 5 tomorrow  

Over 1000 EUR in my area for this chip. 

Holy Mother of God!
I don't think they make them like this anymore *hahah*. 

My Xeon machine is amazing!

Running 4.6 GHz @ 1.43V with my RTX 2070 at 1950 MHz and hitting 2.2M PPD sometimes. 

The GPU does not exceed 60 centigrade with fans at 42%. 

Added some points for this awesome forum :). 

Would look amazing while I snooze in front of my computer after a full day of work. 
Thanks for the giveaway and I am in

That swag when I fold

I like it

To be top 20 is gonna be hard for my Xeon + RTX *hahah*. 

My lord I need over 8 million points. 

To suicide run my laptop and desktop for 4 days non stop or to not suicide run my laptop and desktop for 4 days non stop ? That is what Shakespeare was thinking when he wrote his famous line.

I bet your hardware will thank you for getting rid of that fur

Hah yeah . 
 

Testing my tiny setup for the competition. 
With the right PPD, these two tiny things should hit 3.5M a day . 

Sadly I won’t be able to Fold 24/7 so I will help the forum a bit as well when I can fold . 

I will try as well but I don't have the man power to make some serious numbers. 

I can try and fold on both my 2070s (maxq and Galax / KFA). 

I will push a few tiny units for Sparta!

That's some genuinely impressive dust buildup. Glad you got the opportunity to tidy up a bit.

3 years of neglect and laziness on my side. 
Its hitting clocks like mad now.  My GPU is folding @1910 MHz on Core and 7000 on Memory. 

Spent my Sunday productively. 
It was a mess but it’s all nice and clean now. Temperatures are off the charts now after using some Grizzly bear on

We will see how it folds once I set up an Operating system. 
 

We need more community content :). 

@bluedevil work your magic!

Welcome to the new audiophiles!
@Farih I am also a big Focal fan

@Bastiaan_NL

10 hours? I am not brave enough!

Its DENON FRIDAY!!!!
I wonder if the Mark Lawton pads fit the 9200! 
I have been listening back to back between the D2000 and the D9200.
I still love my D2000 but ... there is truly a decade between them 
The whole sound of the D2000 lacks ... harmony.
Even the bass when it is sophisticated, the D2000 cannot get out of the woofer-esque sound

I was always fascinated by Astrophysics and Astronomy. 
Sadly I wasn't a math whizz to follow this into depth.
