@The Pook

 

4090 ÷ 17 = 240  

I will send @The Pook 17 GT240's and you send the 1080Ti's

Ugh, the 3060 Ti is cooking itself to death. This is a low-power triple-fan card that usually runs around 65°C. And I can't figure out why it's now pushing 85°C and throttling, even with a draconian power limit. It's clean, so maybe a fan is dead but being spun by air from the other fans. Gonna have to do surgery in the middle of the foldathon. Hopefully it won't result in dumping the CPU WU.

How long has this card been folding? Paste dries up fast on GPU's that fold constantly

The Cheapaz Chips GTX 560 Compo will be starting October 1st. Please reference the compo page found HERE. A few rules to note that may not be found on the page directly. 1GB "NON-Ti" cards only. 4 CPU cores total (No HT) and disabling cores is ALLOWED.

Will get the folding rig running tonight when I get home from work.

Hello and long time no see everyone. Joined OCN back in 2011(Username was Boomer1990), was mostly a lurker but loved the community that OCN used to have, it felt tightknit, people seemed respectful during online discourse, and people seemed to give great advice and wanted to try and help each other out. Quit like so many others when the ownership change happened and the site layout went down the tubes, and those helpful people left. 

 

I am starting to think about doing a computer upgrade as it has been a bit(GPU: 1080ti, CPU: 2600x), so I got curious to see if OCN has improved, and sadly saw it had not. So after digging through some old threads and finding this site, with some of the old posters I remember, the fantastic split news/posts which made OCN great I knew I had to join.

Not sure what that is yet but noted  

 

I'm playing a character a "lawful neutral" type character. In it solely for the credits and not concerned about the bigger picture or who's right or wrong. That's largely why I am avoiding the Constellation / main quest.I think any faith / religious groups I will stay clear from assuming that what Starborn is. 

 

I'm doing the UC faction right now. I thought it would be self righteous but it's surprisingly interesting. When you start, you can walk through their museum and learn about the history of the universe from the UC perspective. The Narion War, Treaty of Narion, Colony War etc. It's insanely skewed but what I found interesting were the NPCs walking the halls of the museum calling out the BS. There was an old man, a veteran to be specific, who saw through the fallacy of their actions and was asking why they were not providing support for those who served in the Colony War. The first quest goes a bit sideways (no surprise) and it plays out like a scene from Alien. 

 

Screenshot from the first mission. Small spoiler.

I spent a LOT of time building my own ship and outposts. If you go Starborn, you lose EVERYTHING. You get a shitty spacehip and a special spacesuit that isn't much greater than what you might have already had. I went the pirate route and sided with the Crimson fleet at the end. 

Don't go Starborn. It's not worth it.

I'm just curious how other people store their used radiators.  I usually buy new radiators flush them real good and then use them right away, but I recently bought a used case that came with three EK 360 rads.  There was still green coolant residue inside, so I hooked up my sink adapter and ran warm tap water through them for about 15 minutes to get all the old coolant out, but I don't plan on using them right away.

 

I drained as much of the water out of them as I could.  Would it be best to just let them air dry and store them with the ports open to air, or would it be better to cap off the ports after they are dry?  I could also fill them with coolant since I have extra on hand and then cap them off.

 

Recommendations please.

 

 

Coolant would be ok for short term storage <1 year. Usually after cleaning, I use a heat gun over the fins for awhile till all of the moisture has evaporated then cap with stop fittings. Either way it doesn't really matter as you can remove any oxidation that may form with an acidic solution. 

I mostly cap them to prevent insects from moving in more than trying to keep excess humid air out.

Gonna be a lot of dead cards in the future.

I didn't even realize. When I looked before subbing, I only saw 2 (Basti's Titan and Avocado's Xp). I think yours must have gotten thrown out before I even went to sub anything.

No, it was there, I saw it, but Basti subbed better. You guys subbed the same day I think.

Cool, Thank You
No complaints. Just assumed I'd messed something up.

Don't worry, I suffer from lack of skill too. One of mine got rubbed out for being meager

Tried removing the Acoustic limit? Set to 0MHz and see.  Though it already looks like the fan speed is maxing per your sensors tab. I can't tell if power target relates to fan or the card. Maybe try 100% to see if there is a difference.

*Edit, I think max fan speed should be somewhere over 4000RPM, so you might be right.

This might help, roughly goes over the settings:

I've been here about 6 years now, I enjoy it. Originally from an hour north of Atlanta. Used to live in Asheville the first couple years, which is an apocalyptic wasteland of homelessness and violence and theft, so glad I'm not down there anymore. I work in the Biltmore area, a rich retired old peoples area. And we have hobos sleeping on the sidewalk outside the shop, someone stole a catalytic converter from a coworker in broad daylight during business hours, we had our trailer broken into and a bunch of lawn equipment stolen. We had a $8k bike stolen in January. Whatever you do, don't move to Asheville. 

 

Love my area though, in Hendersonville/Etowah. Quiet, no crime, just slow internet which I'm making work. And half as expensive as Asheville. The Brevard/Pisgah area is awesome

I hear you. South of town is the bees knees. You keep talking this way and i'll have to invite you to the dungeon.

On another note, lets get another award setup for the participants! @Bastiaan_NL when possible please could you give me a list of users on the forums who participated ?

I think he might be away on a work project. If he doesn't respond today, I can compile that for you this weekend.

T-1 Hour till the end of this competition. It looks like we are going to place 7th, one spot better than last year. I am very proud of the participation and commitment from everyone this year. EHW is still a very small fish swimming in a large pond with these heavy hitting XOC teams and we accomplished more than I thought we could. We managed to stay in the top three for 90% of the tournament length and gained attention and a few extra members to our cause due to that. I look forward to next year! GG's guise!

I support this thread! About to delid my 11900k that I bought after 12th gen released, not the best i9 admittedly but I also paid 40% of retail for it. Just bought a z590 Hero board as well for $250 brand new sealed in box. Upgrading my 3080 to a 3090, hopefully will serve me well for atleast 3 more years.

Glad to see you made it over from OCN! Welcome to the forums bro.
