It is a Gen 3 card so I doubt installing Gen 4 drives would yield any gains. The PCI edge connector is X4. If you put it in an X8 slot I doubt it would run any faster but it would cut your graphics card bandwidth from x16 to X8 on most motherboards. It probably would not affect the GPU slot bandwidth on x299 because there are plenty of pcie lanes to go around.

was not expecting gains from gen4 in gen3 carrier, but moreso how much speed would be lost.

Seems nice for those who need extra storage on mainstream boards or older boards. Unfortunately not a product I could use. 

Awesome review though. Thoroughly enjoyed it

So Gen3 only? No gen4? Tried gen4 drives in this? How are speeds affected? 
 

Does giving the card more lanes offer any tangible benefits?

He's not - I'm here too. 
He's further south than I but temps/heat is roughly the same overall except he has more humidity on average to deal with.

BTW in case you guys missed it, for AM3+ I was able to get the bot to allow a couple of 4 core chips for the 7-Zip part, namely FX-4100 and FX-4300 chips.
I reminded them there are only a few boards (Mostly Gigabyte boards) that can truly support 1 core/1 module operation (4P) and because of this restriction there woudn't be too many with subs in that category - Effectively making it more or less a "Giga-Fest" instead of a truely competitive stage.

My thing was for people that wanted to compete could do so without having to track down these certain board makes & models that do and there aren't too many of them out there to get, nor are they cheap if in good working condition - Which was one point I also made.
Also - With lesser availability if you see one for sale, is it a good, useable board or just someone else's junk? That does affect who gets what and has it to compete with but now that these chips are included, basically anyone with a board that supports an FX chip CAN do a sub and it's fine for the comp at least.

I mean why impose restrictions that could lead to folks being turned away at the door if they want to compete?
You want more competition, you gotta make it doable at least for the majority that would want in on this and that was the point of it.

 Hello my friend. Hope you've been well. Good to see you here

Looks like the average points per 4090 for me was 26,546,376 over 96.3 WUs per

Not tooo bad.

I had the EVGA Dark. Was a good board. If fine with 2 dimm slots may be up your alley, though idk how stock with EVGA is over on that side of the pond, oh and don’t run Zotac 30XX/40XX GPUs with it. 

While I worked with Asus for a couple of years, I have used them for a very long time. I can understand frustrations though. 

Just under 13 hours to go. 
 

Hope to definitely see some good WUs come through.

That bandwidth is impressive, but the L3 Cache bandwidth speed is half of mine and the latency like 4 times higher.

 

I'm sure it can still run games ok, especially GPU bound ones, but that slow L3 is less than ideal for gaming.

 

Do you plan to fold on the chip as well as the 4090s?

Nah. Just folding on the GPUs. Games just fine so far in D4/WoW

I don’t play dual channel stuff anymore, but thought you all might find this interesting. 
 

3475X at Watercooled OC Profile. XMP of 6400MHz. 

Been stress testing my rig lately. Seems it works really well.

Might try a few things to see what 6 card setup might be like.

I’m definitely thankful for electricity being on the cheaper side here. Once this batch of home renovations are done I’m going to look at adding solar to help shoulder some costs.

It started last night Thurs at 7pm CST for me. So yes.

 

 

I’ve had things folding, but didn’t see any updated points spreadsheet in the initial post. 

Did I miss when this was supposed to start?

I'm donating 1 EXTREMEHW Ball Cap for first place!

Oh she'll dim a bit on single gpu. Definitely does with 2.

Man wish my new electrical was done already. Could get the four 4090s going now. 

Two with the new cpu is pushing it on a 1600W PSU, so we’ll just have to roll with that

I'm a bit late. Was trying V8 out over night and went back to V7 for some quality of life things. I'll try over the weekend, don't know how much will get done since I'll be swapping over to W790 from C622

Think I grabbed most of their Bitspower black sparkle inventory

Looking to add to my collection. If you have a CaseLabs case and/or spare parts, please let me know what you have available and what price you are thinking of.

Apparently I thought this started next week

only been one running one mostly as I've been gaming most of the weekend

21 4Runner

Only going to be on two cards for this because of troubles I had with Z790. Big sad. 

Oh those look slick! 

Oh hello
