Way to finish here at EXTREMEHW. Glad to see everyone. I wish you all well. damric signing off

It looks like this is the final folding blowout for EXTREMEHW. I need to go ahead and say a few words. First of all, this site has been a blast for me. I'm thankful for @ENTERPRISE inviting me here from overclock.net. Thanks to @BWG for getting me, just an enthusiast overclocker, interested in some crazy stress test benchmark called folding@home. Thanks to @Avacado @axipher @zodac @firedfly for getting me up to speed on that so I could help take over for BWG as I stumbled and fumbled through the learning. We had some very good foldathons and put up some huge numbers for such a small team. Thanks to EVERYONE who folded with us at EXTREMEHW. Some of you were very dedicated up until the very end, crunching the hell out of some work units. I also had a good time benching with you fellow overclockers on HWBOT. Also as a very small team we put up insane numbers and collected a ton of cups and medals. Where do we go from here? Well I'm still active on the techpowerup.com forums. I plan on folding for them as a regular team member and I plan on joining their hwbot team. I invite all of you to follow me over there, as it's one of the last good PC tech forums still alive. For those heading elsewhere or retiring, I hope we meet again! - Luke

From the info I gathered, the new Intel GPUs will AGAIN not support FP64 and thus will not be able to fold. A shameful missed opportunity.

Countdown to Event Start Countdown to Event Stop ^^CLICK THOSE IF YOU LIVE SOMEWHERE NOT UTC TIME ZONE^^ How to participate: During the competition you must be folding for Team 239902 Stats: You can view the stats for the foldathon here: https://ehwfoldingstats.lazypenguin.com Mind the EVENT START TIMER as it is UTC time zone. Note: Stats are updated as soon as possible, but less frequent than desired. Just keep folding! Folding is stressful on hardware, and will often break an overclock unless it's been tested with folding. I do not recommend overclocking high end GPUs as the power draw can be extreme while folding. If anything, try tuning for energy efficiency. Casualties happen and EXTREMEHW can not be held accountable if you destroy your hardware while folding. Thank you for your participation!

Yeah I originally looked at it for Michele since she is learning. Then I was like whoa this software pretty much has studio options that are worth thousands.

I'm about to go all-in on Rocksmith+ It might look expensive but it's actually cheap asf if you look at equivalent studio equipment it offers.

you made it alive. what would you like to know?

Well if you are going to water it, try and find RX 6950XT. The faster RAM chips do help. Many of the 6900XTs, like my own, can't really OC the RAM. But on the positive, you can cram as much power as you can cool through MPT, which I assume you will do since you are going under water and I've seen your Vega benches. The 7000 series are very locked down and basically need an external hard mod to hook up to get anything out of them. Every 6000 series I tested OC'd like crazy with MPT, so very fun for me. Honestly though I only use the MPT for benching. For gaming at 1440p ultra wide it's more than enough at stock. I've got a bykski block on mine and I like it better than the EK block I had on my Vega.

I dig some Ted Nugent riffs, but not his ideology.

Will miss you E!

Well done everyone

about 3.5 hours until start. I will have my 6900XT running
