  1. 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.

  3. Oh I bet they were a bit upset that the multi-core was still lower than AMD, but that Single Core is a huge jump. I may have all AMD right now, but I was never as happy with basic functions on AMD vs my older Intel rigs. I really should consider an Intel rig though. Anubis1127 has both current gens, and likes the Intel better, but he's sort of a memory junkie, so it's easy to see one big reason why. His memory benchmarks were way higher on Intel still. Do you know what AMD is brewing up behind the scenes by chance?
  4. Sounds very monotonous. I'm sure she'll be glad to be home.
  5. I have a few things to get firmed up, and then I will finally draw the prizes for this event. Should be done by tonight.
  6. Yep, got your PM, and I put that GPU in for her. That sounds like fun. I also watched your video a few days ago. I hope you're both doing well.
  7. All of the PPD! Honestly, at that price it's a huge flop considering 2 3080tis can match it's MH/s for $2,600.
  8. I remember when that was allegedly bad because it was said to consume system resources. That might have been in the 90's though.
  9. When I put the 2080 into the ETF rig for FAT, the slot # changed for the 960, and the units have been dropping under BWG instead of hertz9753. It was 3 work units that were missing from the stats, so I added those just now. Should be all fixed now going forward.
  10. Yeah, that stinks. I've had a few situations like that, so I actually have my Samsung Galaxy Book S hooked up to Verizon sharing a wifi hotspot 24/7 in the event that my main internet goes down. I know, it's a luxury, but it helped prevent a few losses of income on the mining side of things.
  11. It's finally available! The long awaited 4.0 m.2 to gpu adapter to unlock some ppd for f@h. Should arrive just before my birthday in December, but fingers crossed.
  12. Next month, couple people might have something for you @damric Stock clock 706 About to see what I gain on the next wu. It's on my HFM.
  13. Inner pookie dookie dropped in toilet and flushed/banned.
  14. So, what you are saying is I'm not worth $300+? Sorry for sounding like a Wife.
  15. .11 Looks like @firedflypre-committed to losing this FAT, so I'm going to win.

    FAH on Arch

    Just run HWINFO and watch the max values for each, and then set them around that in the bios.
  17. My god, it's over 7,000 watts right now. It's 25C in the office with the door half way shut. It was 19C this morning on the Ethereum Train.

    FAH on Arch

    You could limit the PPT, EDC, TDC in your bios to reduce the temps. I did that to my 5800x, and the performance decrease was <2% while the temps decreased 10C+.
  19. Here's the current state of the 960 and K5000.
  20. You should watercool your ETF GPU so you can lay the smackdown on all of the other 580's. Right @firedfly
