Do you use the newer V8 Client? If so you can log in from wherever and change the team back. This could very well be our last foldathon so it would be great if we could get everybody to fold.

You can live through a room being stuffy for 2 days. Toss a lil undervolt on if that's what it takes to convince you to fold

So it's faster and cheaper than the cards it set out to be faster and cheaper than and this somehow makes it a pointless product? I know you're going to say "people should just buy a used XYZ on ebay if they're on a budget"... Some people (like relatives that buy them as gifts) don't want a used card for little Timmy's Christmas present. Or people that really feel more comfortable buying new for the warranty.

So I went digging and found all the remaining EHW stickers I have. I had these printed before the official merch store opened and have given them away as folding prizes on several occasions. By now just about everyone that folds regularly or I've shipped anything to has received one. If anyone doesn't have one and would like one, slide into my DM's.

I didn't realize they had "desktop" Epyc's until I stumbled upon the deal. I have considered a Threadripper or Epyc for the lanes to build a dedicated Folding@home machine before, but hadn't got around to really looking into it much. I mostly picked up random items for around the house on black Friday. I do want to get a decent X870E board before the end of the year. I'll also order a cheap 5700X3D from Aliexpress to play around with. Beyond that I'm pretty set on PC hardware. A couple new GPUs would be nice but I don't NEED to upgrade. Lately I've been out of town for work just about every week so no time to mess with computer stuff anyway.

The other day Newegg was selling these tray CPUs for about half price of the retail box units. It also came with a $100 Newegg gift card. So it was squarely in the too good of deal to pass up category.

So I got a good deal on a CPU I wasn't planning on buying Epyc 4564P which is basically a 7950X. I want to grab an X870E Nova whenever those are back in stock then I'll toss this in my main rig. I still want a 9800X3D at some point, but I'll wait until they go on sale. It's not on the supported CPU list for the Gene, but works fine

I need to redo my A770 benches now that drivers have matured. I was the first person to sub one to HWBot but obviously those scores were destroyed once drivers got better. Also in the hands of people that actually know what they are doing It's been a decent loaner card. I've had two different friends use it while saving up to buy better cards. Would have been really cool if Intel could have came out with something around 4080 performance for Battlemage.

I wish the Intel GPUs could fold since I'm sure I'll buy another for the novelty Nvidia just wrecks everything else at folding. The PPD on the 40 series is nuts. My 4070 Ti will do a few million PPD more than my 3090 while using half the power.

Finally cold enough to just leave a couple rigs running all the time.

Some older pics of stuff The FX setup during some HWBot comp. I don't have any photos of the XPG RAM working on any systems, so I'm assuming it's a DOA ebay find, but I'll give it another try since it looks nice. That mint 7990 block... GTX 690... If any of Y'all have a block for this, slide in my DMs

Most of the parts for this build are buried in the closet and it will likely be pretty slow progress, but I'll dump a few pics here for now. The V3000 was a recent purchase so It's still sitting out in the living room I was on a work trip in Atlanta and went into Microcenter to kill some time. This case wouldn't have fit in my Mustang or Miata lol O11D Distro plate doesn't look too bad in there. These 140mm Fans have 120mm mounting. So I mounted the fans to the plate with fan screws, then sat it on the radiator and attached the rad with short screws.

Howdy. So I thought it would be cool to do a couple of "throwback" builds with Intel + Nvidia vs. All AMD. I'm using the term throwback loosely since the hardware I am currently considering isn't all from the same year but most of it's at least a decade old. Parts Lists: Red CPU: AMD FX-9590 Motherboard: Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z GPU: Radeon HD 7990 RAM: Either some black and red Adata XPG 2133 Cl10 or some EVGA 1866 CL9 that I know works Storage: Not sure what boot drive. I do have a pair of m.sata Samsung drives on a Vantec RAID card that will probably go in this rig for a game drive Case: Maingear Vybe Nero red PSU: EVGA 1000 G2 Cooling Maingear Apex distro EKWB Supremacy Edge Red/plexi (1/100 so fairly rare) EKWB FC7990 SE I'm actually not an EK fanboy, just hard to find 7990 blocks these days Bitspower Leviathan XF 240 Barrowch Chameleon fish 240 Red/Acrylic Arctic P12 MAX Scythe Gentle Typhoons Blue CPU: Intel i7 2700K Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD5 GPU: GTX Titan Black... I also have a GTX 690 that would keep it a bit more era appropriate and dual GPU for both systems. However I can't find a waterblock for the 690. RAM: Blue G.Skill Ares 2133CL10 Storage: A pair of Samsung 850 Pro Case: Lian Li V3000 Plus... Was going to use a Blue/White Maingear Shift I've had for a long time, but Microcenter just dropped the price on V3000's and I had to have one lol PSU: EVGA 850 P2 Cooling EK distro that was designed for an O11D that I got cheap open box Thermochill PA 120.4 that's coming out of retirement I've got a dirty old 420mm in the front for mock up but might just get another 480 to put up top and leave the front as intake. Currently have a Swiftech Apogee II mounted on the board because I thought I was trying to stuff a loop in the Maingear Shift... May switch to a Heatkiller IV. Titan Black has a Heatkiller block already on it Lian Li uni fans... Acquired a ton of these for cheap and have been looking for a way to use them up Phanteks PH-F140HP II - Again, been wanting to use these up for a while. As for fittings and tubing... I haven't decided which system is getting what. They may both end up with a mixture of hard and soft tubing. I have a decent amount of frosted 14mm hard tube and some nice brass 16mm. I also have soft tubing in most common sizes. Mostly EPDM or clear. I'll likely use up some QD3's in the Intel system since there's so much room in that case.

Didn't the higher end models get cancelled? I could see myself ending up with a B580 LE the exact same way I ended up with my A770 LE... Walking into Microcenter for something else and noticing that they have them in stock even though the website says they don't.
