    I have a few things up and running, so... IN Q_Cruncher You can pull me out of the prize draw.

    After battling with some high temps on the HBA, optane drives, and the X550-T2, I finally swapped the fans around on the radiators. Previously the fans were running as intake, and now I have them running as exhaust. In the original configuration, I was never able to get enough front->back airflow to exhaust all the heat that the radiators were dumping into the case. Results from the swap in fan direction are pretty impressive. Temps dropped by 13°C-20°C on the hottest components, and I was also able to drop the speed of the 180mm intake fan by 200rpm.

    I did new pads on my 6900XT, but it also got a full cover HeatKiller block at the same time. The pads I used were the same pads I've been using for a very long time on all my cards, which are the Fujipoly ultra extreme. I am just always on the look out for deals, since they are expensive pads. The only card where I saw some major temp drops was with a bunch of highly OC'd 7970's. The workload they were running was basically FurMark on the VRMs. I was able to lower VRM temps by more than 20°C after swapping in the higher quality pads.

    Added a few GPUs to the mix. They are not great for F@H, but it will bump up the ppd by 4-5M.

    I am folding on a 6900 XT, but not in Windows. For me there is pretty huge range in ppd on various WUs. I see anywhere from 2.7M-6.4M ppd depending on the project that is running. *Edit* Currently folding at 2875core|2150mem

    Pretty much what Pook posted, although I forgo the --pause-delay, since I am building from source and that workaround has been fixed in the upstream version. *Edit* Depending on how you're running it, you might need/want to allocate a different amount of memory, but what Pook posted (leaving 3GB available for other processes) should be more or less universally good unless you're doing some other crazy memory intensive things while running stressapptest.

    Depending on how close to stable your memory is, it will usually error out in less than 30 minutes, but I usually give it an hour. If that checks out then I'll usually run through a few other stress tests like mprime (Prime95) large FFTs and Blend.

    In Q_Cruncher. Out on prizes.

    Longtime stressapptest user. It almost always uncovers stability issues quicker and more reliably than memtest. Additionally, there are some other things you can do to hammer the memory and cache to look for instability. Feeding pbzip2 a large (100GB+) mix of compressible and incompressible data (text files, pdfs, jpgs, etc.), has also helped me find edge case instability when dealing with large amounts of fast memory on DDR4 platforms. I haven't played around with DDR5 yet, but the same principles should hold true.

    Vulkan compute on this bench is overall substantially better than Geekbench's OpenCL on Linux. The Linux OpenCL score is quite a bit slower than Windows, and I imagine my 6900xt running 2950core/2150mem is clocked higher than the vast majority of 6900xt submissions. Here's an OpenCL compute run for comparison.

    Here's my 6900xt on Linux running the Vulkan compute benchmark. https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/compute/187133

    Looks good here on Linux on both Firefox 110 and ungoogled-chromium 110.0.5481.100, which had the same issue of the currency sticking to the top of the page.

    Speaking of a more decetralized internet, here's a de-Googled source link : https://www.cnbc.com/2023/02/21/supreme-court-justices-in-google-case-hesitate-to-upend-section-230.html

    That's a MOLLE panel for storing gear, gas/water cans, etc.

    @daddydoitall it looks like you might have a bit of extra hardware folding on your ETF passkey.

    Use an open source authenticator app, but I've never had any issues logging in.

    Thinkpad L13 Yoga Gen 3, Ryzen 7 Pro 5875U Replaces my Thinkpad Yoga L390 that has a short somewhere in the motherboard that causes it to randomly power off.

    @axipher I'll be up and running again all this month, so we should have a good chance to take the top spot.

    With the integrated heat sink on the 905p temps are nothing to worry about as long as you have some air flow. I just wrote 600GB to one of the 905p's and temps never hit 50°C. Most of the enterprise grade U.2 SSD's are in metal enclosures, and as long as you have some air flow temps should never be an issue in a desktop case.

    This is my daily so no big power, just rolling the same base that I've had for the last 5 years. Exhaust: Stock uel manifold, Grimmspeed Up-pipe, TurboXS Catted Downpipe (v2), 3" mid-pipe, Nameless muffler delete with dual 3.5" tips Fuel: Cobb Accessport with a pro tune, DW65c fuel pump, ID1050 injectors, Cobb flex fuel

    I have a handful of 6.4TB U.2 drives with only a few PB written that I haven't put to use yet . Right now I am running two 1TB Optane 905p ssd's in my server on a dual u.2 to PCIe x8 adapter. There are some other dual adapters that flip the drives, so shorter length but adds some height. As long as your board supports bifurcation, it's easy to add a few more if you have empty PCIe slots.

    Brand new 2.5L type RA short block and a new IHI VF48 Hi Flow turbo. Most everything else I swapped from the old motor. Other new parts included pretty much anything that touches oil and can't be easily cleaned, so new oil pump, AVCS solenoids, AVCS gears, and oil cooler.

    Been away for a bit, but the STi is back on the road.

    It is kind of a bright red so... Maybe 10HP.
