My p620 was down for a bit at the end of the month due to some network changes and not having a monitor easily accessible to hook up to that system. This has been resolved and the p620 is folding again.

Sounds like you'll be difficult to beat next time!

You do not need to do anything different. Keep folding with your current username and passkey. The section you quoted is for when there are prizes awarded where someone will fold under your name for a period of time. For example, last year, I offered up a folding time prize so someone could receive all points from a 3080ti for 24 hours. The winner was randomly chosen from all contributors in the competition.

What ppd estimate are you seeing on the 4090?

@Cerberus I finally got my Quadro P620 running again. You shouldn't be the only one on the team putting up points now!

I was looking at the O11 Dynamic Evo. It looks like its a few inches shorter than the XL, but similar length and width. I wasn't looking at the mini. The O11 Dynamic Evo should fit well in the space I have. I could probably move to the XL if I needed to (I have more space for a computer than I expected I would when I started this thread).

Thanks for the suggestions so far! I wanted to give an update on my plans and see if you guys have any more recommendations. The goal of this build is to have a gaming PC connected to my tv in the living room. Low noise is the biggest priority. I don't plan to overclock any of the components. The intended use case is for games and, at times, folding on the 3080ti. I've acquired a few more parts for the build. This is what I have so far: - Aquacomputer ULTITUBE D5 200 reservoir with D5 PWM pump - Black Ice Nemesis 360GTX® Dual-Core Xtreme Profile Radiator - MSI Z690 MPG Edge WiFi DDR4 - Intel Core i5-13600K - Some Gskill DDR4 ram that will be pulled from another system (2x16gb, I think) Based on suggestions so far, I plan to pick up another radiator to ensure both the 3080ti and i5-13600k can be cooled without ramping the fans up too high. I currently have a Black Ice Nemesis 360GTX. It doesn't look like those are in stock anywhere at the moment. Do you guys have suggestions for another radiator to purchase for this build? Will another 360 be sufficient? @Avacado suggested I get a Heatkiller IV for the cpu block. Is this the correct thing to purchase for my cpu? Do I need a backplate as well? https://www.performance-pcs.com/water-cooling/water-blocks/water-blocks-cpu/heatkiller-iv-pro-intel-lga-1x00-pure-copper.html As far as my initial question goes, I'm still trying to decide on a case. I'm currently leaning towards a Lian Li O11 Dynamic Evo (https://www.newegg.com/white-lian-li-o11-dynamic-evo-atx-mid-tower/p/2AM-000Z-00094). It looks like I can put a 360 rad on the bottom and another on the top with the pump mounted to the side fan wall. Thoughts on this? I'd also like to thank @Avacado (again) and @Bastiaan_NL for further discussion about this project on discord. If anyone has any thoughts/suggestions/etc, they are appreciated. Thanks!

Wow. 4090s are better than I expected. Unless this is a lucky WU that is faster than normal:

In firedfly. I'm not sure what gear I'll have up, but I'll try to have something going.

This was in a spotswood open frame case and was my first attempt at water cooling. I've never enclosed the WC parts into a case before. I don't need anything super small (SFF), but I'd also like to avoid any giant cases if possible. A mid tower sized case would be fine... Though I'm doubtful everything will fit in one? So, I'm quite inexperienced when it comes to water cooling. I had thought to cool both the 3080ti and cpu with a single 360mm rad. Do I need to rethink that?

I'm looking to move my water cooled 3080TI setup into a case for use in my living room. Do you guys have suggestions on cases to use? Smaller would be better, but I know there are limits on how small I can go while containing the WC gear. I plan to cool: - EVGA Hydro Copper 3080ti - a cpu (not sure which one yet) I have the following pump/res and radiator: - Aquacomputer ULTITUBE D5 200 reservoir with D5 PWM pump - Black Ice Nemesis 360GTX® Dual-Core Xtreme Profile Radiator Thanks in advance for your suggestions and comments!

Indeed . You should have more of a challenge next month!

Congrats @Fluxmaven!

It is on LARs now with a lower PPD (which is common in my experience with my 3080ti's). GeForce RTX 4090 Folding@Home PPD Averages, Power Consumption & Research Projects FOLDING.LAR.SYSTEMS F@H GeForce RTX 4090 performance as of 10/14/2022. Averages across all projects PPD:14,892,957 - Work Units Per Day:23.17, performance history and more. The p18601 Alzheimers project is currently showing 21.7 mil ppd. Still an amazing improvement from the 3080ti/3090 ppd.

26 million points per day? I'm not sure if that is the most optimized configuration either. source: RTX 4090 is getting 26M PPD - Folding Forum FOLDINGFORUM.ORG

Just a reminder to everyone that the competition begins in 10 hours. If you need to start up any rigs do it soon!

I have a 960, 1660 and several 3000 series cards. However, I also have 0 free time right now to help out (if any of that hardware helps).

In firedfly. You can exclude me from the prizes.

@pioneerisloud @Cerberus I'm going to drop out of the ETF at the end of the month. It doesn't look like either of you have been able to contribute recently. Do you want to disband the team completely? Or do one of you want to take over?
