Well, the plexi cracked again. Before I tied it into the loop last night, I sealed it up, pushed 10 PSI, held. Tied it in, fine. Took apart, tim, did not blow test this time, leaked. Took it out this morning, blow test, plexi on gpu block was cracked again in the center screw and air was coming out. Ordered 2 new plexi tops from ek for 40 eur + 17 euro shipping. So, 3rd time's a charm? Also, bought another mcp 655 rev. b, 10 new monsoon compression fittings, 4 45 rotary, 2 90 rotary, tubing, and I have a res/rad/fans. This will make the PCI-e plugs the only attachment to the PC, so I can close the door and easily remove as needed. Just gotta work on attaching all of these things to the bench/tray I built. Edit: Even had it all up and mining all night, but temps were 55/65 on the ti's, then 3rd was the 3080 at 36C, so that TIM was just too thin and not transferring the heat. All else was cool. (Wanted to fold, but too hot)

Little update, I had this all working last night, but I was just about out of mx-4. I thought it would be enough, but it was not. Temps were fairly high. I had it up and running though, and no leaks. Re-did the TIM this morning using kryonaut. Hooked it all back up. Blocks leaked. Got fed up with trying to tie it into my loop, so I ordered everything I need to make an independent loop. The 3080 distribution block has wider inlet/outlet holes. It was also a very short tube run. It was pulling up on the distribution block/fittings. Also outward since 3080's was wider. Better to do an independent loop anyways.

I still play that sometimes on my og xbox along with carbon.

This is the last picture I took of my Mustang today before I sold it. Very close to the way I bought it aside from the rear spoiler and tint. Still have the GT500 bumper and GT350 wheels and tires to get rid of though. I polished it before the pic. I was wiping my kids fingerprints from the small interior rear windows thinking of all those Sunday cruises to get breakfast. Got a bit sad because part of me wanted to keep it. I have too many cars. I barely drive anymore since I work from home. Bought it new in 18 and sold it with 32,000 miles. It sat not driven for 5 months. Just came of of Winter though here about a month ago.

What's the total weight @Spotswood? Bet that things super light compared to mine!

I hear the chairs are amazing, so the desk should be too.

Oh heck, I didn't realize it was directly on top of the cpu fan.

I have some extra rubber feet that has a screw in the middle from replacing the ones on my couch if those don't work. They're adjustable. I leveled my gpu tray out with them.

I would so put an intake fan on the side of the cover if you can find something to fit. Aim intake just over cpu fan. You probably considered that already though.

Well, I suppose using an inferior GPU we know would be less ppd would only detriment your team in the live environment, but the rule will be you fold the hardware you entered with, and can only change it when I give you the ? because I'd have to adjust the multiplier before you drop units on the new hardware. Some of the same rules from old tc will be applicable. I'll update the manual here soon with those.

@Avacado And because of that thinking, I had a long term plan to group like hardware on a page in the stats so you could see how you stack up against same hardware folks, but that plan was before we decided to scrap the old site and re-build it. Even wanted to make that page something non-event folders could be tracked in to see how they could do over a period of time against the event folders. Future event potential.

I think you can beat him with a m40 if tictoc helps you.

Got a pic of that chassis setup somewhere?

Note to self, post the rules for hardware changes. ? Ok now what GPU are you using now for this? Is it on the LARS Database? At least I have a rule for that

Alright, I bought dowel rods, spray paint, screws, and a miter box/saw. Built this GPU external vertical tech tray of sorts. My glass door will fit on the case after I build a loop into the station, so I'll tie it into the pc loop for now with no door.

Switching to a static multiplier for every GPU and across all categories for May to see how that works. It makes all of the multipliers static rather than being based on the best active card per category. This will normalize the stats system across all categories. The current system seems to be working fairly well, and I hope this will too. Also, making them static, and based on 1 top PPD card could allow automation monthly via a LARS query, but that's for much later. Per below, best overall GPU is a 3090 on Windows at 6,723,008. All multipliers will be based on that. New adjustments will be: Bastiaan_NL RTX 2080 ti x1.46 tenchimuyo93 RX 580 x16.38 BWG GTX 960 x21.33 Avacado Tesla M40 x6.99 tictoc Radeon VII x3.62 axipher GTX 1050 ti x18.89 Supercrumpet GTX 960 x20.82 damrix HD 7850 x54.67 u3b3rg33k RX 580 x16.38 @zodac

Now! Let's finish this up before work.

Yeah, I have some rubber feet to put on the bottom. Should be enough of a gap to let it pull what it needs. I did the sanding and some painting last night. I'm trying to decide on if I want to get out of bed now or later lol.

Oh shoot, my calculator was set to round up ?

Once I set the screws, sand, and paint it, this homemade one isn't bad at all. Hopefully, @Spotswoodwill whip something up way better here soon. Rick, I just wanted to get these fired back up tomorrow.

One other thing, if you're using a single pci-e power connector that is an 8 pin x2 split, try using only 1 and then 1 from a 2nd pci-e plug just to rule out overloading the rail.

Motherboard bios.

Did you happen to update your bios? I was crashing in game stock clocks here and there. Beta 1E bios.
