Minotaurtoo

my sentiments exactly.

I want to say a sincere thank you to all who worked so hard to keep this site up and going!

Am I being too hopeful that the site will remain since it's still here this morning? If so, Goodbye too all my friends here, I wish you well in your journey through life wherever it may take you.

I thought maybe my son was folding under my name for heat again. But now I'm wondering because it says I've had 4 clients active in the past 7 days, since he doesn't use CPU folding, it would only be 3 at most and I seldom do CPU folding as I often end up with massive work units, some of which find some way of causing my PC to become unstable even at stock settings with liquid cooling, something even the worst stress tests I've tried fail to do.

I forgot to say in as minotaurtoo, but I'm here. I do sincerely hope this isn't the last foldathon for this site. If I had an inkling how to run a website, I'd bid on it.

I really wish I knew enough about maintaining a site. I would hate to see this site dissapear.

well... I see I accidentally participated LOL I never even noticed the foldathon, but did fold some just for the extra heat on a cold day. Kinda feel bad that I only contributed so little to it. Folding is a cold weather thing for me, rather than using a space heater to warm up the room, I just turn on FAH.

Just bought some steel tubing (3x8 11 gauge), and made these monitor holders. Had to move out of my old "game" room and put my rig in the bedroom... At first I just dealt with only one monitor, but it started getting to me so I designed these and cut them out on a tube laser at work. Might not be the most professional setup, but good enough for those old monitors. Edit: don't worry about the hood toppling over, it's screwed to the wall and the reason I had to move out of my game room is our son moved back home to get a new/better job and is staying with us until he can get an apartment around here.

It isn't the latest greatest, but I finally broke down and bought a Thrustmaster T248 so I don't fail so bad at the racing sims... would have gotten the shifter too, but so many of my vehicles have more than 6 gears to go through, figured I'd just stick to the paddle shifters and maybe later get the shifter.

I'm old, when I think retro, I'm thinking of windows XP and before for PC and console wise, before N64 LOL I recently went full emulation due to hardware failings. I use PCEM to emulate an old PC. I used to have a retro PC on a wall that played games from the 90's to around 2006 or so. I do still have a Sega master system console that works.

@damricout of curiosity, did that prove to work out? I tried a simple trick based on your idea that seems to work for me with SAM enabled... I first tested to see if the problem still existed, by folding under default settings with SAM enabled... and it did. Then I manually set the cpu slot to 8 threads... no crash... ok, then added another 8 thread slot... no crash... added a third... still no crash. I folded the last foldathon with 1 gpu slot and 3 cpu slots, no crash... I did have to turn it off due to heating up the room too much on occasion, but with it in auto, it wouldn't last 4 hours before a crash... At this moment I'm still testing, but so far no crash as long as I don't have a single cpu slot over 8 threads.

in as minotaurtoo, if I remember LOL

finally broke down and purchased a proper USB hub to mount on my desk side, and a hopefully not fake flash drive to store my family videos/pics on to keep with me in case something bad happens. The hub has already arrived and works better than I expected for a cheap hub. I was using a USB extension cable hot glued to the side of the desk LOL, was a horrible solution, flash drives would just randomly disconnect... now they work properly.

I too fled OCN, Welcome to EHW!

I'll keep that in mind if I have any issues, but for now I seem to have it sorted out. Looks interesting.
