  1. Not until I can get home, but storms are supposed to turn severe overnight. I might just stop the rigs all together till morning. I don't want to risk it.
  2. Bah! Knew it was coming. Based on my update, looks like the power failed at my house. Whelp GG. Iv'e got the 2 2x2080TI rigs on UPS's. Though they can only go 5 minutes while folding. The Teslas aren't so fortunate.

    I have been the unfortunate patient of a few bad ones myself. Though The one here in Asheville is a 5 star rated facility and #1 in patient satisfaction 3 years in a row out of 237 facilities nationwide. We do the damn thing here. Just not as fast as we could be. If you are a vet and need care this is the best place to get it, and it could still be better.
  4. Have not even had the time to lurk in the dungeon. This weekend is no children, so i'll have some time to play. Was really hoping the Watercool backplates for the Tesla's would arrive from DE, but it's unlikely. If they don't arrive I can play with this. If they DO arrive, I'll be putting the Tesla under water and modifying a mining chassis for rads instead. I only get 2 child free weekends a month. It's the only time I have hours to dive down rabbit holes. Might end up being a summer project with my son.

    Caveat: I have worked for the government since 2003. I know how it is. The VA facility I work at has really outdated Dell workstations as with most of the federal government. It took me 30 minutes to login this morning and get going. IT has been coming around and installing brand new 24 inch monitor flat screens, BUT IT CAN'T UPGRADE TO SSDS TO IMPROVE WORK FLOW?!?!? FFS. I mean look at this BS. 10MB a sec. Come the * on. Makes me want to kill myself going from my home computer to work. You can afford 200$ screens, but you can't afford 80$ SSDs to improve employee workflow?
  6. Expecting severe weather in my area tonight. Hope the power grid holds, but it's unlikely. Might go down at some point. Also, @Bastiaan_NL I have not seen any of those good WUs you talk about. I think they might only be for the 3 series.
  7. Yes to the afterburner question. I use EVGA X1. Yes, you will want to OC your MEM.
  8. When are you guys usually on for these?
  9. How the hell did your grandma get a 3080 and I can't find anything but a 1050. THATS IT! I'm becoming a Nederlander.
  10. It's cool, I already found a board on fleabay. Don't trouble yourself!
  11. He already lost. Last month. I as the reigning champion will gladly accept him getting dolled up as a prize.
  12. Don't think I don't see your numbers @Bastiaan_NLHow many of your families cards do you have running for this one? ?
  13. Sorry about the busted caps. Good news on the new card! Loss and a win.
  14. Ok, Tinkered and fixed. A simple CMOS clear did the trick! Phew. No Idea what that was. MOBO was stuck on code AA, which is MOBO failing to initialize.
  15. Hit with the law. The perfectly working 5 tesla rig won't display video. Tried multiple cables. Different cards. Nada. Goes through the start up fine.
  16. Damnit, I never got the alert. Someone has to post it next time.
  17. There is a reason I have so much extra *, because I am always learning and always need some random part. Having extras on hand is never a bad thing. I still consider myself an average builder, even with all I have done. I think what you have made is top rate, don't doubt the creativity.
  18. I know! So shiny! Best part is, the SLI portion will be exposed (It's not stock). I will be able to SLI 2 and Tri-sli 3, I even have a quad SLI bridge.
  19. True, Essentially the screws for the Block would not fit through the stock backplate. I could have drilled them, but did not want to ruin the stock backplates. I could have also found and bought larger screws, but ordering replacements, though expensive was easier. I know, but i'm old and I have the money. Those 5 Tesla's will be down for the next tourney. So you should have me.
  20. Furthermore. I play a LOT of Hell let loose. I can tell you that with 2x NVME 3.0 drives in RAID 0 I load into every map before anyone else, every time.
