There is more evidence of the rumored refresh of the 9000 series SKUs. I read about a 9800X3D with higher clocks, and 9950X3D with 3D cache on both chiplets. This could mean a price cut for existing SKUs soon. I'm also watching the 9800X3D price but I am very patient.

I was reading all of this on the official folding@home forum. They seem to be aware of the problems, but haven't figured out the cause. Is it still hanging up for everyone?

More qualified than I am to be team lead right there.

41% of the TPU ppd is former folders from EHW that never made it back after the transition. Another huge chunk is one former EVGA folder. We have always been on good terms with both of those teams.

Run with lower power limits. It's what I have to do or the house will burn down. I normally fold at 80% GPU clock. Actually. I cranked it up a bit higher just now. 95% GPU clock speed and CPU limited to 75C on 20 cores. My water temp sensor * itself so I'm flying blind. I was going to replace that this week but I reckon I can wait a few days.

I'm working on firing something up

EVENT START 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. 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.

Got it all back together and it seems to be working so I fired up F@H

Right now I'm playing that game, you know, the one where you see how much coolant you can spill on your most expensive * and see if it still works the next day.

I'm there with you in spirit. My rigs are torn apart and been trying to get one up in time for this but it's a no go

Been lucky the last couple weeks have been lower temps although near constant rain. Like only high 90-95F though still 75-85F lows. Had a break in the rain yesterday so I took the dingos to swim in the creek and the water actually felt cool around 75F so that was really nice...as I'm watching for gators.

Been looking at that B850 ASrock mini-itx I have the HDV/m.2, which is fine for benching, but it really sucks ass when I put it in my main rig. The onboard sound is especially terrible. Yeah modern motherboard choices suck

actually descent PPD at 80% clock speed on the RX 6900XT. The Ryzen 9 9900X is in ECO mode 65W

Not a lot of points, but it's not heating up the office:
