I fired up some CPU's. It's not much, but its all I can do right now. -_-

Hey guys, So we've owned this site for over a year now. Not once have myself or Labrat asked for any donations. Nor do we have any plans to, this was our purchase, our decision to keep this site alive. That said, a close buddy of mine, a Youtuber who is EXTREMELY wholesome and super fun to be around is having some issues in the making babies department. He's already put out some content for our site here, and he's planning on more (since we donated an entire AM5 system to him recently LOL). If you guys wouldn't mind, if you could at least click the link, and read his story at minimum. MAYBE consider shooting them a donation? As you saw, I never ever ask for donations for something for us personally here at EHW. That's not my style. We can make stuff work here even without a budget. But EctorPlays, he REALLY needs community help to make his dream of parenthood happen. Please please please and thank you! Even just clicking it, reading it, and maybe spreading his story around the internet wherever you deem appropriate. ANY sort of exposure or donations helps. Thank you for your time! ~pio Donate to Made With Love and a Little Bit of Science - Our IVF Journey, organized by Kassidy Cabral WWW.GOFUNDME.COM For the past six years, my husband and I have walked through … Kassidy Cabral needs your support for Made With Love and a Little Bit of Science - Our IVF Journey

https://www.techpowerup.com/346645/intel-plans-return-to-unified-core-design-no-more-performance-and-efficiency-core-split It's about time! I understand where they were going there; but what was wrong with what was working great before? We had good strong cores, and hyperthreading capabilities. I think the "E" cores kind of "replaced" HT there for a while, and I think that was kind of a bad idea. I feel like regular HT is probably less latency than going to differently clocked cores entirely. That's just my opinion of them based on their design; I've never personally used one of those CPU's that had them myself. Either way this is exciting! I sincerely hope we see Intel doing great things this year, both on their CPU's and GPU's! More competition is always a good thing.

Due to the nature of our forum here, and the already existant rules, I've gone ahead and removed the 18+ requirement for registration for new members. This should allow teens to join into the site (I set it to 13+ to continue following appropriate US laws). Being an adult is never a requirement to be involved in tech communities. Let's face it, we ALL probably started much younger than 18 over at other forums years ago. I hope you all give any of our new members a nice warm welcome! Thank you, ~Management

It's underneath the m.2 heatsink. Not sure why you'd need to though, these boards just use simple software BIOS flashing.

I've been hearing lots of rumors of potential apps, but so far none really fully stack up yet. Teamspeak might save the day, who knows!

https://www.pcgamer.com/games/discord-is-rolling-out-facial-scanning-and-id-checks-in-march-for-everyone-who-doesnt-want-to-be-locked-into-a-teen-appropriate-experience/ I don't even really know what to say here. Rumors all over the internet put this as not a good announcement. Personally, I have pulled ALL of my payments to Discord, including my Nitro and all server boosts I had put out for 2 different communities. This is a me decision because I feel like this is the start to something really bad from Discord. There's talks of alternatives popping up all over social media, but I guess we'll see where this heads from here. Rumor has it, all apps and sites are going to be required to do this in the future. I don't know about you guys, but I personally support the user's right to their personal data. I don't think facial scans, or ID requirements are the correct answer to the current ongoing issues.

Also - please excuse my absentmindedness lately (IE: Me getting the postbit thing wrong). We've got illness going through the house right now, I've got a family emergency going on with elderly family members, and on top of all that...........I'm trying to rennovate a house I bought for cheap, and move.......PLUS we're going to be moving the website. My mind is VERY scattered right now.

I feel really stupid now. This wasn't the foldathon we usually hand out postbits for. This one would need a full on redesign since its not OUR 96 hour annual challenge. Sigh. If you guys want a postbit for this one, let me know. Otherwise, I'll work on the 96 hour one. Sorry for the confusion!

I am so stupid. THIS is the event we use postbits for. Sigh. I'll distribute the post bits after THIS foldathon lol. Idk why, but I thought the week long one was this one. I will NOT be "in" on this one. Too much going on right now in personal life (illness, family emergencies, and a move going on). If it was after the move, I'd totally be in though. I will however, get those postbits done up and handed out for this foldathon!

When I saw you were folding, I knew I had to go all in! Was a ton of fun. Thank you to everyone who participated! I'll get those postbits fixed up and distributed this week.

It's the little team that could! I was just trying to figure out how I was going to rework the award post bit this year. Looks like the 2025 one somehow got screwed up, I'll have to re-fix the font on that one it looks like. I'll handle both at the same time. Do we want this year's to say "168 hour" or "Week Long" with a new font because it'll definitely not fit right spelled out like that. 168 hour should fit though if I shrink the text just a hair.

This WILL backfire. We'll just see the drop of streaming devices, and we'll see the return of HTPC's again. Nerds will figure out a way, we always have. How DARE those companies tell me what I can or cannot watch on a device that I paid for, on MY tv in MY home, on MY internet connection. If I'm liable for piracy, then so are they. Either that, or piracy is now legal. They can't have it both ways IMO. Make up your minds! We should probably add a link to the news story though, no? Tom's Hardware has the story: Nvidia accused of trying to cut a deal with Anna’s Archive for high‑speed access to the massive pirated book haul — allegedly chased stolen data to fuel its LLMs | Tom's Hardware WWW.TOMSHARDWARE.COM Court documents appear to show Nvidia management green lit the deal, despite Anna’s Archive’s warnings.

I was wondering the same, I have a pair of A770's I could put to use. I'm also out of power outlets around the apartment though.....

I just added two more 7900 XTX's, a 1080Ti....idk, i forgot what all I've added now lol. I think I've got 10 cards folding now, mostly AMD. Putting out around 60m PPD roughly right now though!

Fired up an RTX 5050. Seems to be doing about 3m PPD roughly? I'd fire up my AMD farm, but most of it is currently not in systems, and I have power constraints at the apartment. 5050 seems to be doing a good job at least keeping me on the board.

Title updated.

I posted in eXtremeGaming as well. See if I can't convince some new kids to join up again like last year. It's all in good fun afterall! I'll see if I can't get a few cards up and live before January 25th myself! I'm still not comfortable on my AI Pro R9700, but I'd be happy to torture my 7900XTX and 1080Ti. Maybe toss the 6950 XT at it too. Idk, maybe the RTX 3050 I have laying around might do decent numbers too? I'm trying to figure out how to NOT melt my apartment's wiring but get as many going as I can.

I have to ask, since you're probably the only other person here with a beast FX rig still running......... Does yours also happen to have a wireless forcefield surrounding the damn thing or something? Every time I turn my FX rig on, EVERY wireless device, even my cell phone, stops working if they're within like 10 feet of my FX rig. Walk 10 feet away, the wireless devices all of a sudden work fine again! I love that stupid rig.......

If this turns out to be true, I might have a lawsuit against Disney! Long story short - apparently SOMEBODY on my home network was torrenting some stupid Disney TV show. Spectrum shut off our internet service due to it. Still don't know who it was, or if it was even true since nobody in my house even watches that stupid show (I think it was Mandalorian). But yeah, Spectrum had cut me off from internet services for 6 months for that. And they were the ONLY broadband company here (still is). I can get CenturyLink DSL with 1.5 Mbps down / 256k up.

This is an interesting discussion. Unfortunately my 2016 still has drum rears, cable driven, and hydraulic main brakes (discs up front of course). So I honestly have nothing to add to the discussion, other than I agree with the others. I'll NEVER buy a car that phones home, requires a subscription model, and to be honest......probably won't buy a drive by wire rig again either.

I finally have my FX 8 core system up and running again. Can confirm, the FX system FEELS "snappier", and Windows boot time is basically nothing compared to my x3d setups.

That's just lovely.
