  1. Yeah, I was going to say they should sag without the top panel on. At least they all sag evenly to get rid of any OCD thoughts lol.
  2. I have responded loudly bold above.
  3. Roger that, but I do need some additional cooling. Looking at a few split ac options. Yeah, he's a great fellow, and it's been a long time he's been at this now. It's so awesome to see him get some really cool things finished over the years. It's actually my first thing of any kind from him, But every person who I've ever talked to who won a tech bench really liked them.
  4. Hey guys, I thought I'd go ahead and start a new thread to keep you updated on my progress with my folding/mining operation. My wood bench was only temporary until I was able to get a custom bench. I purchased 2 custom benches from@Spotswood to sit beside my PC's, and I'm utilizing 2 x16 ribbons + x1 to x16 risers to hopefully fill out each bench over time so I can beat @Avacadoand @Bastiaan_NLin our foldathons . Rick customized the project and configured it to adapt to the ribbons/risers combination. He was able to build custom brackets to hold the ribbons as they're not typical mining bench protocol, but important for folding@home, or any gaming I'd like to do from the bench GPU's. It's these types of customizations that led me to Spotswood because he has fabrication he can do, and everything can be custom. For years, he's given our folders free tech benches in our folding events over on OCN, and may do the same here for us soon, so please consider him before you buy a pre-fab you have to jerry-rig to comply, or wood. Also, look at his finished work. He built actual drum cases that are out of this world! Here are the renderings of the benches he sent to me. I believe this is a common practice on custom benches from him. The plan is to have 1 bench populated with 2x 1080ti's (ribbons so I can SLI for some titles too) and 2x 1070's (risers) + the independent cooling loop. I will be moving the 3070 to the Lanboy. The 2nd bench will sit for a bit as I work to obtain more GPU's to fill it. Some things I did consider were asking him to add attachments for my custom cooling, but I nixed that because I feel like my cooling needs will grow as I go, and there's not a real need to attach these to the bench. I also considered asking him to enclose the bench like a case, and cut a hole in the wall of my garage office to exhaust the heat, but I'm just going to get a split ac unit because I like the idea of not running my heater in the Fall/Winter, nor dealing with that big hole. Most of my months are cooler months in Ohio, and opening the door is enough to keep it cooled. So, when I receive the benches in the mail, I'll update the OP with my progress, parts used, etc. Should be a ton of fun. Here are some pics from the building of the bench on Spotswoods end of things. Pretty cool!
  5. The forum went down, but we're still winning. Whew.
  6. Yeah, I edited my post just before you posted.
  7. They don't have to match. That's a simple hex edit to make them match colors later, if wanted, but I'd just use the colors in the logo right now. Background the dark part of the X in top right of the logo. All the headers, tables, figures, are kind of a toss up for me until I see some variations. Could even just do 2 ideas, and make a poll for users to pick, or even picklist a theme chooser into it if you want to go that far. Similar features to the old site, but add daily, hourly, monthly stats for the active month and historic months for users and teams. We did however have graphing for the categories and teams that we would like to add which I believe @zodac was getting ready to implement that on his end here soon. Probably top nav since EHW is. Top Nav Idea: Home (will land on the leaderboard and so would the URL) | Category Stats (just one page with all 3 categories) | Team Stats (hover drop-down to pick a team) | User Stats (hover drop-down to pick a user forum name) Page/Stat Headers: (pages to display on) Forum User Name (leaderboard/category/team/user) / Folding User Name (user only) / Folding Team # (user only) / Raw Points (leaderboard/category/team/user) / Multiplier (leaderboard/category/team/user) / Adjusted Points (leaderboard/category/team/user) / Work Unit Total (leaderboard/category/team/user) / Category Rank (category/team/user) / Overall User Rank (leaderboard/team/user) HFM Link (user). Also, all sortable. Choose from a picklist to view hourly/daily/monthly stats below the headers on the team/user pages only (vertical cascade). Making these headers expandable/collapsible would be cool too so people could choose not to view a header/statistic if they wish. I'd suggest at least 1 page for all teams (leaderboard), 1 page for all 3 categories (category), 1 page for each team and 1 page for each user that contains the current and historic data in the same sortable fashion, but with a monthly picklist added. Might even be cool to add a yearly picklist or total overall since event inception, but that might require zodac to do more stuff and things; not certain. I don't know if it would be possible to pick a user or team and run a comparison window showing either a team or user stats comparison side-by-side, but that's one thought that wasn't in place previously that I'm certain would be useful. These are my quick thoughts, and I'd like some of the folders to chime in with their thoughts before we finalize what 'we' want. I'm not really that important, they are! Logo would link to the Extreme Team Folding Manual. User name would link to the user page on EHW. (might need zodac to add) Team Name would link to the team discussion on EHW. (might need zodac to add) Graphing would be an icon like it is the old site above the leaderboard and category
  8. It uses 3x 8pins, but I did try 1 plug from each + 1 from my bench PSU and there was no change. https://www.pcpowerandcooling.com/product/silencer-1050/
  9. Am I seeing a problem with 1 of my split 8 pins? I'm using a split stock 2x 8 pin cable and a 2nd one that only has 1 of the 2 8 pin plugs in use. or Is it just too much power for the hardware?
  10. We're about to see what he's going to do on the UI side for our stats website. @ENTERPRISEsuggested him, and so far his suggestions have always been dead on. @iamjanco says he has some time to squeeze us in to his busy free time schedule Thank you so much for volunteering your time.
  11. That's a big jump in PPD! Exciting! Bastiaan's just biting his nails right now I bet.
  12. He's actually been helping with the ETF stats site, but I didn't expect him to fold for us. Wow! That's groovy man! Funny thing is, there's always been these secret IRC Servers OCN wouldn't let us advertise on the forum for good reasons. He's been in the [H] one with me forever, and the one I had started is still functional too. Channel Name is No! lol, but no one in there but me cares about folding anymore. Edit: Since Ethereum Profits are a little down, I might as well tune everything up and fold.
  13. ? Are you really going to fold for 239902? That's the one caveat in this event. The Extreme Team Folding event we've been chatting about is the one you could fold for Team 33 in.
  14. I'm holding my breath for this: Your DHL Express shipment with waybill number xxxxxxxxxxx from EKWB is on its way. The current estimated delivery is Fri May 21 by End of Day. .7 NM not Foot Pounds!
  15. Yeah, linkup seems to be the way for me to go as well. I'll have a 3070, 3080, 3090 to hook up to them. I went ahead and got a PSU with 8x 8pin so I can run 4 GPU's on my bench I built. I'm going to see if this can take a light load on 2x 1080ti and 2x 1070.
  16. Can't you just copy the titan bios parameters to the stock bios instead? I thought both were g206 based.
  17. Oh yeah, I'm going to catch him and pass him. It will be close, but I should.
  18. @zodacmight as well rock it out on a working Sunday!
  19. The stock bios looks fully functional and editable to me just like any other from this era. I would say the power limit could be adjusted up/down. I ran a few tests on my 1070's using power draw limits, and it did not drop the PPD as much as you'd think it would, but did. That's probably worthwhile to some users.
  20. @Supercrumpetam I blowing your doors off yet? What's yours look like for this wu?
  21. Would you like to run/publish live stats for this rig like I have in my signature?
