I use those for the boot partition on my laptop, and I've had them as the boot drive for my ESXi host. I haven't used the USB 3.0 or 3.1 versions yet, but the 2.0 versions have been pretty reliable.

Took the STi out to the desert a few weeks ago. Still ripping at 229k miles.

In addition to the various config options, there is also command line control for the client. Generally that is what I use to control local clients and clients over ssh. I have a bunch of commands aliased to things like pfold (pause) ffold (finish) and rfold (resume) for individual slots and for the whole client. Here are the command line options for anyone who was unaware and/or interested. FAHClient command line options:

I'll shoot ASRock a message. I was able to get a beta BIOS for my X399 Taichi with proper PCIe bifurcation a few months before they released the official BIOS with proper bifurcation options (x4x4x4x4; x4x4x8, x8x8, x4x4) for all the slots. Ultimately this machine will be running pretty much everything for my home. VM with GPU pass-through for my main TV Multiple testing VMs (Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS Stream w/ and w/o GPU pass-through) Local mirror and build server for all my Arch boxes Build server for my Gentoo and Arch Pi's Containers or VMs for: NextCloud, lan-cache, unifi, VPN, matrix, irc, and cameras File and backup server running btrfs (48TB-RAID-10 and 8TB-RAID-1) Monitoring and Log server - TICK/TIG and possibly Prometheus Currently I am working through some bugs/regressions on ROCm, but once I get that ironed out, I will hopefully get this machine off the test bench and into it's new home. *EDIT* @AllenG You should send ASRock Rack a support message. http://event.asrockrack.com/tsd.asp There is a beta BIOS floating around with more bifurcation options. I haven't tested it yet.

You can go with a Radeon VII for the testing. Not sure if that's what I'll stick with, but for now that will work.

Looks like I'll take the AMD category. @BWG I'll let you know later today or tomorrow what GPU I'll be folding on for testing. Should we run our gear at stock for testing, or are we pretty confident with the offsets for the handicapping?

I'll be running a 2080S TBD AMD GPU in Linux, but I'm pretty sure @Avacado is running Windows.

No, most of the flags can be used regardless of the OS.

When will we start? Do you need GPU and OS info in order to test the handicapping?

Here's a list of all the options that can be set in the config. There are client options as well as individual slot options. F@H doesn't support manual edits of the config, but as long as you keep the formatting correct the config can be hand edited. Sometimes it is more or less a requirement, since GPU slot assignment tends to get all messed up once you have more than 2 GPUs in a system, especially if you are mixing NVIDIA and AMD. Some of the below options are either not valid or only supported on certain version of the F@H client. *Edit* The below options can be set using FAHControl or by manually editing (not recommended) the config. Here's a config from my 4x Radeon VII machine:

It's been a few years since I had it running, so I honestly don't remember. I think it settled in at something like 2100MHz. It's a Seahawk EK, so it does have a higher power limit than most 1070s.

It will be more like every other month. Sometimes it takes a bit of time to get a card dialed in. ? I have a 2080S that is a decent clocker, but I have a few super good clocking cards that might just be what the doctor ordered for this comp. Best OC'ing GPUs I have are: Radeon VII, GTX 1070, GTX 980, R9 290, and an HD 7970.

@axipher and @Avacado what are you planning on folding on? I have a bunch of GPUs, so I can fill in with whatever we need. Waiting to see the final breakdown on how the handicapping and points are going to work before I decide what to throw at the TC.

I give a mean head pat, so add @axipher to the Foldaholics. With myself the mad deer and the Canuck, y'all should start preparing for your imminent destruction.

Many of the better bins do seem to be going on RGB sticks. If they are B-die, you could pump some more voltage into them, and as long as you keep them relatively cool, you might be able to squeeze out a bit more performance if you can run DDR4-4000 with decent timings and 2000MHz fclk.

I disable remove all the RGB on everything. Memory - Buy non-RGB sticks GPU - Remove and/or disconnect LED power GPU/CPU blocks - Remove and/or disconnect LEDs Motherboard - Disable all RGB in BIOS Fans - Buy non-LED fans, or remove LEDs from fans If I did want to have some case lighting (hasn't happened yet), then I would just go with LED strips and an independent controller.

Windows Settings is still going to be a thing, so what exactly is this? Change the name and add some additional shortcuts. Even more amusing is the fact that now you have a shortcut to the "Control Panel" located inside the new "Administrative Tools" folder. ? Maybe this is just an incremental change along the road to actually having all the settings and tools in one place, instead of the split personality that has been going on since Windows 8.

55" Someday when I can actually buy a 6800/6900XT I'll be ready to go.

There is a good chance you could restore the partition table using testdisk. TestDisk is include with the GParted live iso. https://gparted.org/livecd.php

Running single slot always makes me a bit nervous, but I've never tried it with back plates. As long as the top of the block is all acetal/acrylic it's no big deal if the blocks touch, as long as the screws for the top of the block are a bit recessed. It can put a bit of stress on the GPU PCB and/or the slot, but it has the added benefit of opening up a bit of a gap for some air movement.

I should have been following this build a little closer. I had assumed you were definitely using risers, since you have dual slot I/O brackets. The GPU Multi-Link XL 8-Way should work for 4 of the cards, with only the 5th card on it's own. If you want to split them out a bit further you could use a pair of dual link bridges

I was rebooting for an update, and made a little change just for @Bastiaan_NL There is still one red cable hiding in there, but it's pretty much invisible since it's the auxillary PCIe power at the bottom of the board.

Some preliminary testing was done over the weekend, with a custom kernel on Linux, that disabled PSF. Performance hit is pretty much 0, at least for the workloads that were tested. https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=amd-zen3-psf&num=1
