Sorry for the double.
7 hours ago, Avacado said:Agree. Moving forward, if I do plan to get anymore waterblocks either for CPU or GPU the will HAVE to be copper only. I am moving away from Nickel.
I can't possibly agree with this more. Nickel coating inevitably flakes and corrodes, plexi cracks, and I couldn't care less about RGB.
The biggest enemies of long term uptime on loops are corrosion and growth. Copper/acetal blocks (which look that best anyhow), coupled with epdm tubing, and some biocide and inhibitor will allow you to have loops running 24/7 for more than a year with the only maintenace being topping off the res. If you don't care about bling, then you can pay less, and end up with a more reliable loop.

The last twenty minutes of that video is basically what mostly pushed me away from NVIDIA. That coupled with NVIDIA's disregard for open source GPU drivers, and more importantly open source user-space, has made it easy for me to mostly (still have a number of NVIDIA GPUs running) move away from NVIDIA for my personal machines and projects. With AMD I can easily have things like this on my Radeon VIIs:
As far as the overall topic is concerned, I hope to see EVGA make a return to manufacturing a high quantity of top-of-the-line PSUs like the SuperNOVA G2 1300. I still have two of these running, and they have been going more or less 24/7 at 90+% capacity for nine years (still one year left on the warranty ).

Everything has easy access.
I don't disagree with that. I had the 400 out of my '78 Bronco in about 30 minutes.
I am about 25/75, flat-four:V8, over the last twenty years. All the V8's except one have been pre-1980's, and they are a breeze to work on. I also must tinker with everything, so having AccessTUNER Race to dial in the Subies is pretty great.

I can only imagine how horrific it will be to pull that engine. There is no room and there's so much crap to get out of the way. The only engine I've ever pulled was the 350 I had in my 1968 Camaro....the engine compartment is huge and there aren't many accessories so it was easy.
While it's a bit more involved than pulling a small block out of a pre-80's vehicle, it's actually pretty easy to pull the motor on these cars. I've pulled at least 10 EJ's, and the way the motor is designed, nearly everything can stay attached and the whole thing comes out. It is pretty much as simple as
- Remove hood
- Disconnect and remove battery
- Remove intercooler
- Disconnect fuel lines
- Disconnect and pull radiator
- Remove A/C and PS belts
- Disconnect down pipe from turbo
- Disconnect main harness
- Disconnect misc. other wiring harnesses
- Unbolt pitch-stop
- Disengage clutch
- Unbolt A/C compressor and PS Pump and flip them out of the way
- Remove the 6 bellhousing to block bolts
- Remove 2 engine mount nuts
Personally without a lift, I think it is faster and easier to yank the motor when replacing the clutch, since there is probably some other mainteneace to be done that will be easier with the motor out like: plugs, timing belt, water pump, etc. This motor has been out of the car twice. Once for a new clutch, and once to do the head gaskets.
All in it's 1-1/2 to 2 hours to pull the motor.

I posted a big guide in a spoiler, and it got eaten by the forum. I'm following this thread now, so hit me up if you have any Linux questions. I'm not super familiar with Unraid (my VM hosts are running Debian or Arch), but I would probably go the container or VM route with folding on Unraid.
For last months Folding Comp I ran F@H on my GPUs via podman with a slightly modified Docker container from the official F@H containers. https://github.com/FoldingAtHome/containers
I was running on AMD GPUs, but the NVIDIA container is fairly similar. It should be pretty easy to set up if you have any interest in running containers, and want to isolate the different GPUs in their own environment.
There is a thread in the Unraid forum, but it appears to be dead now. https://github.com/FoldingAtHome/containers I haven't looked at the Unraid community container, so I'm not sure why it isn't working. The offical gpu container from F@H worked fine for me.

With the late start I was only able to get a few million in, but I did make up for the lost time yesterday.
Fired up a few things this morning and I'll just let them fold away for a few days.

The gem of this build is the 1.5U chassis. This oddball chassis size will allow for quiet 60mm fans, and a dead silent cooler for the CPU.
This router will slot right into the top of my quiet networking/power rack. The switches and UPS's in the rack have already had transplant surgery to swap out the stock 40mm and 80mm fans for some quieter Noctua fans.
Parts List:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 Pro 4350G
Motherboard: AsRock B550M-ITX/ac
RAM: 2x 16GB Micron DDR4 3200 ECC UDIMM
SSD: ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro 500GB
NICs: Intel X550-AT2 10GBASE-T; Intel E1G44HT 10/100/1000
PSU: FSP FlexGURU 500W
The stripped down chassis.
There will be some mods to the chassis.
- IO will be facing the front along with the 2 NICs, and the provided plates don't have provisions for that setup.
- PSU will also be relocated to what will now be the rear for tidy power cable management.
- Add a filtered intake to the top for the CPU cooler
I am also going to try and stuff one of my PiKVMs into the chassis. I'm not sure if I'll be able to squeeze it between the PSU and the front of the chassis, but there should be just enough room to get it in there.

Very late start for me, but I got some GPUs up and folding earlier this morning. I'll just keep them folding for a few days to make up for the lost time.

I might have to go all zodac on you for those capital T's.

Ended up on a much longer than planned for break from F@H, and the forum in general.
Not sure when/if I'll be back up folding anything. I'll update the thread when I figure out what I am going to do.
@axipher it looks like your 750ti is still folding away.

Here is the almost final build.
Missing in these pics is all of the the final HDDs and SATA SSDs, and I am also going to drain the loop to add some QDCs at the GPUs. I meant to add the QDCs in originally, and then I got in a bit of a rush to get everything up and running for the Pent and spaced it out. One of the NVMe boot drives is under the GPUs, which cannot be removed without disconnecting the blocks due to the limited clearance between the GPUS and the radiators.

There will be some final updates incoming. This is now all built and mostly tested, and will be put into operation over the next week or two.

The LG C1 finally shipped, should get it Wednesday.
One thing I didn't think of is going to have to find an HDMI 2.1 cable to get the 4k 120Hz. Any suggestions?
If you need long cables I have both a 50' and a 60' of these: https://www.amazon.com/RUIPRO-Dynamic-Flexible-Projector-Theatre/dp/B09GFXF6QZ/ref=sr_1_3?crid=UPOBK5UCP1P1&keywords=ruipro%2B8k%2Bhdmi%2Bfiber%2Boptic%2Bcable&qid=1660083793&sprefix=ruipro%2B%2Caps%2C262&sr=8-3&th=1
Flawless opertion at 4k 120Hz.
Not my latest, but definitely the most anticipated. Delivered today, sitting on my front deck waiting for me to get home.

One more NVMe drive.
It took me a minute to get the second drive to show up. The PCIe bifurcation options are indeed all working, but the labeling in the UEFI is a little misleading.
Build will be complete this weekend. Swapping out the Vega 64's for a pair of Radeon VII's. Once that is complete I'll post up some final pics.

Added!
Always been interested in Unicomps. How do you like yours?
I haven't had a chance to do much testing, but this board should have the newer firmware so hopefully it is free of the bugs that existed in the earlier run of the Mini M. As far as the typing experience goes, all of the clickity-clackity goodness of a buckling spring is present, and it is a joy to type on.

I might join in. I'll take a look through the thread and see what we need to run. Off the top of my head, I think I could do Quad 7970s or Dual on some wickedly high clocking 290s.
I'll mess around with a stripped down Windows 7 install tonight, and then see what I can get up and running over the next week.
