  1. @tenchimuyo93did you know you posted 0 points for 4 days? If you did know, what was your ETA on being back up?
  2. Yeah, looks like that was @PCSarge, my bad.
  3. Oh my, nice! Where did you come from? Do I have an actual fan now? Wanna be a BWG Patreon? Totally joking, but I'm glad you're here to help us!
  4. @SupercrumpetShoot! Blew it up as in burned it up and smoke? Did you take it apart to see if it could be saved? 3 billion is a ton! Good job! I hit a small goal last night while I was sleeping that the F@H Discord Guys snagged for me.
  5. Pretty sure I roasted something in the K5000 because the TPF is way off of what it should be stock or otherwise. I switched back to the 960, so this may get interesting again.
  6. That's perfectly fine.
  7. It's Thanksgiving month here in America, so put me down for $100 PayPal. The restriction is: Must beat me. Also, $50 to any single folder with at least 25 completed work units.
  8. I fixed the images in the OP, and then saw this which was funny. Edit: Might as well update the picture.
  9. These look promising. I'm getting ready to put them in and replace the 3.0 ones. Confirmed legit pci-e 4.0. Nice! Pretty inexpensive too.
  10. Geesh, 3 billion and 5 billion? Looks like firedfly is over half way to you bastiaan. Great achievements!
  11. If someone on the team would like to temp fold in place of michele, pm me the user/hardware details.
  12. In as BWG no prizes since I've automatically been excluded by Canada. I had a killer maple bacon flavored creme filled donut the other day from a local bakery. It was delicious.
  13. I think ya'll should talk before I chime in. But, I get how folding separately could be meh. Maybe Mrs. Firedfly could fill the spot for the rats?
  14. I took these pictures yesterday of all the semi's waiting for chips at the Kenworth plant in Chillicothe, OH. They couldn't even finish the 3rd extra parking lot up before putting some trucks in it, but this is about 3,000 trucks waiting.
  15. One heck of a nice write-up here: XPG LANCER DDR5 5200 MHz Review: A New Era is Upon Us - Overclockers WWW.OVERCLOCKERS.COM ADATA's XPG line of memory grows to include their new Lancer DDR5 modules. They offer an XMP rating of... Micron chips. Should be pretty decent. ECC is a good thing. Takes error correcting off of the CPU. Should be a good thing for stability. I'm sure the default timings could be tweaked.
  16. Oh no! After how long with no issues?
  17. The problem with ETH going POS is there's nearly 8 TH/s of hash power mining it. Once that hash spreads out to alt coins, your going to see diminishing mining profits on alt coins due to all of that extra hash hitting the pools causing smaller profits per block for each user. It could get pretty bad. Some may exit which will help a lot of things.
  18. I saved a few bucks going with Bosch. They work great in the Audi, but are oem in it. Audi let's them breathe, but they're pretty buried in the twin turbo. We'll see how they hold up to the heat.
  19. Lower grille (fell off and broke) plus an oil level sensor for the Audi S4 and coils for the BMW 750i.
  20. My business is 1.5 months away from being debt free. My ETH hash is just over 1.2 MH/s. I saw my revenue estimates hit $3,200 mo. 1 day last week, and it keeps growing every time the miners get more out of LHR. If not for LHR, I'd be above 1.5. When the debt is gone, I'm looking forward to actually playing with these cards. I will start holding coins and folding more. Someone we might all remember from ocn, not going to name him, restored an old wallet he thought was gone forever with 8.3 BTC in it and cashed out at $65,000 per coin. If anything has that btc growth potential within the next 5 years, it would have to be ethereum.
  21. Double is a bit much. Everyone's going to need new Power Supplies again.I think double the performance and power makes sense on the top tier cards though. Many would welcome that fps boost, and you can always power limit if it's a big concern, but doing the same doubling on the lower end models seems a bit tragic for those on tight budgets. I'm pretty excited with the potential for double performance. Maybe we'll see 240hz 4k in this generation.
  22. Not gonna lie, I almost replied with Pole Position, seriously.
  23. The kids play FH4, so FH5 soon, NFS Heat, and a few other randoms.
  24. My Father-in-Law and I picked up this 2008 Ford Focus SES for $1,000. It actually has 251,000 miles and somehow the transmission still feels solid. 3 of 4 plugs were full of oil, 1 coil pack was arking at the top because the boot was stretched, the plastic heater core hose sprung a leak driving it home, but the plan is to fix it up and give it to a new single Mother in need. So far, I've replaced the valve cover gaskets, plugs, cleaned all of the wheel speed sensors, added the missing rear abs tone rings, coil packs, heater hose (aluminum this time), sway bar link, oil/filter, coolant, scrubbed it inside and out, and restored the headlights. I've been driving it around to see if it will break, but somehow it's pretty solid. All codes cleared and staying off. What's left to do is the front bumper, passenger splash guard, passenger fog light, fix an exhaust leak, and hardcore paint correction.
