Haha, I beat @BWG It looks great!

Still down. RMA'ing one of the X399's to ASUS and I am waiting on different ram for the server X399 board.

But he's NOT a good boy. No dark theme for you.

@Odyn Found this on fleabay today. Thought you might like a look. Even with 100$ shipping it is less than what I paid for mine. https://www.ebay.com/itm/164912158443?hash=item266587d6eb:g:CSMAAOSwv6RgxyGU

I could be missing it, however I do not see the classified section in the main forum listing. Also I did not recall if the were subsections for listings: Cooling, video, main components, etc... If there aren't it could get quite crowded and hard for a potential buyer to curtail search results.

Where is @iamjanco when you need him?

Quite frankly, the Ryzen 9 and Intel 11th gen both have 24/20 PCI-e lanes respectively. If the sole purpose of this build is folding and you want to maximize PPD returns, then you should only be looking at Threadripper or older Intel Xeon variants to maximize bandwidth per lane. All of this completely depends on just how many GPU's you plan to run on said board. If it's going to be 3, you'll be fine with the PCI-e 4.0, if you want to get crazy and go 6+ I have tested M.2 x4 on 3.0 but not with anything over a 2080Ti. Couldn't comment on bottleneck, maybe @Bastiaan_NL or @tictoc could help there. 1900x (60 PCI-e lanes) @200$ https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?N=100007671 601350560 600213784 As for the board? Well, welcome to my dilemma.

Don't know about a shroud, but the stuff below is fantastic for edge work. I have about 100ft of the stuff. https://www.mnpctech.com/products/u-channel-rubber-trim

No ETA. The PSU replacement should be here in a few days. If I can't get it running by this weekend, I won't be able to until the 4th of July weekend. Will let you know after the weekend.

Careful, you might find a bottle of maple syrup in the package.

Nothing a dremmel can't handle.

I would, but i'm still upset with you for standing me up at your place for that 8pm date we had.

Good question, but one I feel you meant rhetorically. The answer is to get something like the arrow below (KPE 3090). From what I understand my dates are pretty close.

Damnit, and the blow up dolls just got here, now I need to order this.

The 1000W Plat you decided against due to the recent DOA reviews. I was one of them LOL. One bad PSU out of 5 ain't bad. I have 4 1000's and a 1600. I still think they are fantastic. Most people would say one bad PSU is too many, but most people don't own 8 PSU's. Can ask @BWG if he thinks you should swap in.

Yep, thats the one. Let me know how the Titanium performs. Surprised you didn't go with the Plat for 199$ on sale. They have great customer support as well. My 4th SF was DOA, I returned it to newegg, no hassle and even got a personal apology message from a SF rep.

Did you just say Ditto to your own post my Alabama brother?

Just a status update: Still waiting on the RMA from Newegg for the SF PSU that was faulty to get the rig running. I have 4 reviews to complete that have taken priority over getting the folding rig going and the Tesla project is dead in the water (Pun intended) until I have time to take it apart. So if you want me off the ETF for a bit I would understand. I realistically don't know when I am going to have any time in the near future to get a card running.

I have been down that road, the hardest part will be keeping the matte finish on the tubing when you bend. I never could and never used them because of it. Should have asked, I have a bunch of extra I could have sent you.

That is of course always the risk. I think you can find a few video's on 9 series chips being delidded.
