I am actually making progree on the new server now. I have migrated all the storage off my old 2P server, and hooked everything up to a 3200G/x570 board on one of my benches. I am currently archiving a bunch of data, since part of the plan on the down sizing was to trim down on some of my data hoarding. I may end up needing a few more drives, because I'm not sure I want to offline enough stuff to fit in the 24TB media (usable) pool + 4TB (online critical backups) that I was planning on. I'm probably going to grab a few more HDDs, which will bring the total up to 10 HDDs in the chasis + 1 in the hot-swap. New Heatkiller radiators arrived last week, and the case is stripped down and cleaned. Next step will be to plastidip or paint the scratched up acrylic side panel. I'll post some pics once that is done, and then it will be time to actually start putting everything together in the case and get it off my bench.

6-pin PCIe can safely provide a mimimum additional 150W, so unless you get really crazy and run 14 GPUs on that board, you should be good.

You should be fine with that board. The Sage is designed as a compute/rendering/ML workstation, so it is designed to run several power hungry GPUs. It has auxillary PCIe power, and it sounds like you also have powered risers. I regulary run 4 Radeon VIIs, each pulling >380W, on my Threadripper workstation without a hitch.

You guys are doing it wrong. @zodac @axipher @iamjanco @u3b3rg33k @damric @firedfly @schuck6566 and @cscoder4ever are obviously part of the enlightened crew.

Anyone else have issues with p18202? My 980 with a "conservative" OC can finish the unit, but it invariably has some errors along the way. Stable on every other WU it's run at current clocks.

A little late to the show here, and I can't tell if all of your adapters are powered or passive. I would be careful running more than 2 (maybe 3 GPUs) with passive cables/adapters. I toasted a 2P Xeon board that didn't have supplementary PCIe power, running 4 GPUs at max OC 24/7. Took out the 24-pin header, and fried some of the 12v traces on the board. Other than that, awesome job on the bench and it's great to @Spotswood gear in action

It's the ATX board, so 4 x16 PCIe slots (2 @ x16 electrical; 2 @ x8 electrical) and three M.2 slots (2 from the CPU and one from the chipset).

Thanks for the update @axipher That sucks on the x399 boards. I still have an x399 Taichi if you get in a pinch and need a board.

Just saw this post. Thanks to @ENTERPRISE @BWG @zodac @axipher and anyone else who helped to put this together.

One of these might work, depending on the size of your board. https://kprepublic.com/products/mstone-clear-forested-dust-cover-anti-dust-guard-cap-mechanical-keyboard-40-60-65-80-poker-gh60-bm60-xd64-xd68-bm65-87?_pos=1&_sid=600de15f1&_ss=r&variant=36372404175011

Is the handicapping system still up for tweaks? I have been testing some misc. hardware, and it seems like the all OS numbers, rather than the Windows/Linux numbers, are a little closer to reality on both platforms, especially on older less powerful gear.

Fresh off the boat (actually an airplane) from Germany :) New pair of Watercool Heatkiller 360-L rads for my home server.

This worked for the images in my T-ripper server build log. Only about half the links were broken, but the edit->save->edit->re-insert fixed all the images, without having to re-upload anything.

Actually, nothing at the moment. I didn't realize that the TC is going to kick back off August 1st, so for now we are all good.

I don't remeber the last time I logged in to Discord, so thanks for the heads up. The Foldaholics will be all sorted out to start our reign of destruction on August 1st.

10-4. Hit me up if you're interested in some no name 16GB 3200 ecc udimms. @firedfly are you still interested in temping with your Quadro or any other GPU?

@axipher @Avacado Now that the forum is revived, I just wanted to see where we were at. I have a 980 that I can slot into Wildcard if the 5700 is still going to be up and folding. Let me know what's up and then I'll let @BWG know what we are all folding on.

My points are going to go to zero for the next week. I'm moving the Radeon VII off F@H and testing a few different GPUs. I don't want my points to be all over the place, so that passkey will just be offline for a bit.

Unlike mining, there is quite a bit of communication between the CPU/Memory and the GPU while running a WU. It is not an extremely bandwidth intensive GPU compute app, but once you go below PCIe 3.0 x8, with faster GPUs, the performance will drop.
