I was in the discord for several hours yesterday so you missed your chance to yell at me Me turning up the voltage because I had no qualms with melting a $20 Phenom It's been a fun few weeks playing around with all this stuff but I'm glad the comp is over so I can focus on finishing up some of my other projects.

Nope just the official Adrenalin 22.6.1 drivers that were released back in June. I might put them back on the Formula Z to play around at some point but the sim rig refresh is using a GTX 1070 as a placeholder for now. It will get my RTX 2080 once I pick up a 6900xt for my bedroom PC.
-
Unfortunately I got rid of most of my older stuff before moving long ago. Coolest ones I have currently are the EVGA Z590 Dark, MSI x570 Ace, and ASUS Crosshair V Formula Z. -
I'm also in the market for a 6900xt for a spare PC. Not really worried about drivers this late into the product cycle. They have had ample time to work out any issues. I was very surprised to see a new driver released this year for my 7970s. I put them in a rig as a joke and was surprised to see them run perfectly on a newer 5600x system.

Going back to a single 1080p display for these comps has been painful coming from 4k/multimonitor setups. I usually have things overlapping a little bit and nobody has said anything. I've also been on the naughty list for bad submissions so we should probably wait for clarification from someone that knows for sure.

Picked up an SSD for the sim rig. I've had great luck running several of the older SN750's in other builds so $80 for this seemed like a decent deal. Edit... I bought more stuff I had set my TV budget at around $1200. Picked up this last years model on clearance to keep some money in the budget for an ARC A770 I also ordered a shifter mount for the racing sim and some Vegemite because my Aussie friend said I should try it

I'll go back to my corner now...

Me right before submitting the wrong file and being very confused when my baseline run was faster than people with LN2

Why are you wanting to change? Pumps in series increases head pressure Pumps in parallel increases flow rate. I'd have to assume with 6 in series you don't have issues with flow or head anyway. I've never ran more than 3 pumps in a single loop and I always run everything in series. from a redundancy standpoint, series is nice because a pump dies, no big deal the others pick up the slack. In parallel depending on how it's plumbed I'd think you have the chance of weird stuff happening since the water is just gonna take the path of least resistance.

Funny story, I actually had YEET submitted for approval and someone else also put in for it within a week of me and they got into the DMV and paid for it first so I had to change mine to YEEET. No issues getting Maven for the wagon other than it taking forever for them to process custom plates. I ran around with a Kansas livestock association EAT BEEF novelty plate on the back for 6+ months while waiting for the custom plate. Had plenty of cops behind me but never got hassled for it. Now the EAT BEEF plate is on my BMW because it's not actually registered
-
It's been a while since I washed the wagon and it gets parked on the street so it was pretty gross. Washed it, then pulled it up and rolled the Miata out of the garage and gave it a quick wash too.

Oh no an MTV show is scripted and totally fake??? Color me surprised I really like the seat. The stock seat that came with the Playseat frame just didn't really fit me well and I bought it used so it already had some noticeable wear. I was considering going with the pink and teal leopard print but I'm happy with the purple and glitter lol.
-
Been thinking about the sim rig lately and decided instead of making any actual progress getting it setup, I'd add a new seat. Purple NRG Prisma with the glitter on da back. X to the Z Xzibit you've just been pimped. Got it mounted to the Playseat frame and put it back in the corner for now. Gotta pull everything from the upstairs living room down here to paint up there. Once paints done, I can put everything where it's actually going to go and set up the sim rigs. We'll have 2 car setups, a flight sim, and the VR all in one room. My roommate is going more F1 focused on his rig and picked up this dope Ferrari wheel.

I'd dump the trash on their car with a nice note saying "sorry I think you misplaced this." If I had time, I'd probably pull their valve stem cores and leave those in a little plastic baggie mixed in with the trash. Can't stand people that litter.
-
Are you going to keep that spray bottle in the kitchen to confuse guests?
-
That's not nice It's ok because it's probably true
-
It can... Run it! I'm kind of surprised nobody on the team has done a run with a 2080ti, but any PCI 3.0 Nvidia GPU that's not a Titan can run that category.
-
When I created my account I chose ExtremeHW but it didn't stick. I had to go back into my account and select it again for it to actually reflect that I was on the team.

Trust me, it hates all of us. This is also my first time using HWBOT So I'm still working through how it all works myself.

The 290s have nothing to do with the SLI category. Those are in the AMD category. I just mentioned them as an example of how someone could come along and knock your score out. Most of the people here are participating in multiple categories with different hardware. I'm going to be coming after you with 460s. Mine are waterblocked like everything I own, but one is a mystery card I just bought on eBay. So if it's a total dud overclocker your score will still be the one that counts for the team. Either way we're just doing this for fun.
-
You don't need to submit 3 scores. You can submit as many or as few as you like. It just keeps your best score. The team needs 3 scores to average. So currently it's still just showing the runs Avacado and Bastiaan did with 470 and 480s. Once you submit your score it will fulfill the requirements of the competition. From that point you can keep pushing the limit and submit higher scores but It wouldn't hurt to submit what you have now just to get something on the board while you experiment with the hardware.
-
I'm about to pull the FX+Crossfire 7970 combo off the bench and put a 2700k+460s back on. I don't have a run submitted yet because I'm waiting on an SLI bridge that fits. The one I tried breaking half the connectors off to fit surprisingly didn't work. So by all means, keep tweaking and pushing your setup. If I get mine working I'll have to play catch up to see if I can run you down. It will be nice going up against someone with the same cards. My poor 7970 run is going to get slaughtered when @tictoc shows up with those 290s

lol it's not even my plant but I have been trying to save it. Went from not enough water to too much water and too much sun. Had root rot and thought it was a complete goner but it's still barely holding on
