1.2 sounds about right to me. It's been a bit since I folded on a 5700XT, but that should be close to the average when you account for the low ppd WUs.

Since the chipset on X570 is PCIe-4.0 it does get pretty warm. The chipset is always the hottest thing on my TRX40 board. I let it sit at around 65°C, because that little fan starts to get a bit whiny over 4500 RPM.

Pretty nuts that I am playing the most anticipated game of the year on Linux on launch day. There are a number of gotchas to play it on Linux, but in the short time that I've been playing, I've had zero issues. Playing on a Radeon VII running at 2075/1150, 3440x1440, high preset with motion blur off. I didn't really mess with the settings too much, since I really just wanted to see if the game was actually playable. At high settings FPS was hovering in the 35-45 range, so the setting could use some tuning. Even at the lower frame rate the game was still smooth, and I didn't encounter any bugs. Since this is a screenshot thread, here's the first one for your thread.

Just a little update. It looks like this is going to turn into a very overkill server. Thinking about swapping out a few things on my workstation, so I might be adding a pair of Radeon VIIs to this machine. For now just testing with a pair of Vega 64s.

I imagine you already got a new phone, but if not, here's another vote for a Pixel. I just picked up a Pixel 4a for $350 US. I have zero interest in the Google ecosystem, but it's the closest to pure android and super easy to run an alternate OS on. The camera is excellent, and overall I would say this is my favorite phone since I retired my Lumia 1020. Even though I have fairly large hands, giant phones drive me nuts. It's nice to have a compact device again, even if we'll never see a proper aspect ratio on a phone again. 15:9 ftw

Yep, 5x 360mm rads.

Forgot about this thread. Here's an update on my main machine. Maxed out the case back in June. I had to clearance the floor a bit to get the last GPU in.

10Gb networking makes pretty quick work of transferring data around. I'll probably spin up a temporary 6-8TB SSD RAID-0 to pull the data off the server, add the old drives to the new storage pool, and then it's just a local rsync to put the data in the new storage pool. Since I purged a bunch of stuff off my current file server to cold archives, I should be able to get everything moved in 2 batches.

Looks like it is actually an issue with some things I have disabled in Firefox. Last test was using Safe Mode, but that only disables add-ons, and doesn't reset any about:config changes. I just wiped my profile, and image upload works fine. Thanks for testing. ?

Looks like maybe just a Linux issue. I'll reload a fresh empty profile and test. *Edit* No change with a bone stock empty Firefox profile.

Every upload is like this:

Same result using drag and drop or the file uploader. What's weird is that it was working fine before and just randomly stopped.

Uploading images to posts is broken on Firefox. I made an album and uploading images to the album works, but images uploaded to a post seem to break. I disabled all add-ons for testing and the results were the same. Image upload works as expected using Chromium. OS - Arch Linux Browser - Firefox 83.0 (same issue existed on Firefox 82.xx) Firefox: Chromium:

Nothing too exciting, just making up some new cables for the drives. I will be starting to backup/transfer the data on the current server and start migrating the data to the new drive setup this weekend.

Not much happening other than continuing some extended testing. Right now I'm doing some misc performance/reliability testing on btrfs, and trying to decide what the final storage layout will be. Also, I'll be going with a 200mm Noctua fan in the front panel of the case, which will hopefully move enough air to keep things cool. Only thing that I might need to address temp wise is the VRMs. With the goal being silence I'd rather not add a fan mid case to cool the VRMs. The server will see fairly high load compiling and running test applications, but with no OC, VRM temps should be fine. If not, then I can always add one of my Heatkiller SW-X 80 DIYs to the loop. I used a SW-X 60 on my Taichi X399 board, and it cooled the VRMs without a hitch.

If gaming (or a number of other workloads) is the #1 priority, then an NVIDIA GPU is really the only option that makes sense. In addition to the outright stellar performance, the ecosystem has many more bells and whistles than the bare-bones offerings from AMD. ¢¢

Not sure with the current mix of gear, but maybe something like 19-20M ppd. It will probably be a bit before I can get a good estimate with everything folding, but I might give it a go in December. Unfortunately for F@H, I have a stack of AMD gear for testing ROCm, but I do have a few NVIDIA GPUs that can probably take a break from training to do a bit of folding in the next EHW race. :D

Sandbagger. Too late to fire up some more GPUs. I'll have to get serious next month.

Can't wait to have to jailbreak my x86 CPU. Security in silicon is a great idea until exploits and/or flaws are found. SGX is a nice dumpster fire, and I think it's on like round 40 of patches to try and plug it's holes to get it mainlined in the Linux kernel. This looks like another black box on top of the existing PSP and Intel ME, both of which have had more than a few security holes.

I was on the fence with the original Surface Pro, and ended up with a Thinkpad Yoga instead. The witchcraft needed to get the Surface devices to run Linux is what originally pushed me away from the Surface line of products. I have since moved on to a Thinkpad Yoga L390, and it is a great convertible laptop. It is a bit bigger than the surface devices, but what you get in return is well worth the increase in size. Excellent keyboard, track point, and pen along with user replaceable battery, SSD, and RAM. I paid $800 originally for the L390 with an i5-8265U (quad core with HT), and then upgraded to a 1TB SSD and 16GB dual channel RAM.

A bit of a late start, but now I am folding away. *Edit* At least if midnight means 00:00:00 on 11/18, but if we're talking about 11:59:59 on 11/18, then I guess I am early. Just saw the countdown in the OP. Looks like I'm just getting an early start.

As much as I can get, so even if I have to drop down to something like 2733 or 2800 with cleaned up timings that would be fine. ?

64GB (4x16GB) ended up being 100% stable at 3200|16-20-16-38|1.395v. 128GB (8x 16GB) is not stable at the same timings. I have a working (and at least mostly stable) profile for 2933. Unless it will run at 3200 CL18, which is highly unlikely from my past experience of trying to run 3200 with 128GB on my Taichi board, I'll be running it at 2933.

I wouldn't have even started messing with the memory, but originally I couldn't get the board to post with the 3200MHz ECC sticks. To get it to post the first time, I had to put in a couple of non-ECC sticks. Once I did that, I was able to power down and swap in a pair of the ECC sticks. That got me into the UEFI, but it would almost instantly crash because the speed/timings were way off from what the sticks wanted to run at. After the initial brain damage of finding a starting point for the RAM, it has actually been fairly simple to up the speed and tighten the timings. Two big gotchas for this board/memory are that the board will not even post if TRCD is set below 20, and almost any speed will fail to post or be wildly unstable with Command Rate set at 1T.

Currently I am testing my RAM at 3200 16-20-16-40. So far it looks to be stable. The ICs on these no-name ECC 3200 sticks are Micron rev.E, so now that I've already gone this far, I guess I'll see just how far I can push them while maintaining 100% stability.
