Yes LARS gives best estimates, especially on the more popular hardware.

Welcome to EHW. Please join our monthly foldathon, and if you are up for it, join our HWBOT team Also, we have a pretty active discord. The link for the invite is on the main page.

Needs those foam beer coozies to keep drinks cold.

Dimming the lights are we? Also: Since we now have an open store: I'm donating 1 EXTREMEHW Ball Cap for first place!

What is that? Nice! I had the awful Sapphire version and I really wanted that MSI cyclone one you got. With Afterburner and extra voltage I pushed it beyond 1GHz though.

See that's why E pays you the big bucks compared to the rest of his staff. You're always looking out

Welcome to the ExtremeHW 48-hour Folding Competition, May 20-21st 00:00 UTC Countdown to Event Stop How to participate: During the competition you must be folding for Team 239902 You must post in this thread with "IN" followed by your folding username. Prizes: p.m. @damric if you have something suitable to give away* 1st Place Most Points: EXTREMEHW Ball Cap (from damric via EHW Store) $50 paypal gift card (from @neurotix 3 to give away. Random draw. 5 WU minimum). Folding Time Prizes: tbd Excluded from Prizes: n/a 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! Note: Extreme Team Members remember to use a different pass key than your ETF key. 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! *must be participating in foldathon.

I personally like the borders better

Looks defective... RMA

Absolutely. Many of us light off the rigs a day early just to work out any hiccups. The scores track automatically by the start time. It typically takes about 3 hours for the first scores to start showing up on our score card though.

Yummy copper!

You don't have to do anything. We have another league called ETF (extreme team) that folds 24/7 on one piece of hardware. If that interests you, check out the subforum for that. There's some open slots on our teams or you could captain your own extreme team.

For that config I'd get 1600W LEADEX Titan and be done worrying. Edit: nvm they out of stock Try: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/v7PzK8/evga-supernova-1600-t2-1600-w-80-titanium-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-220-t2-1600-x1 or https://pcpartpicker.com/product/VC6p99/super-flower-leadex-platinum-1600-w-80-platinum-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-sf-1600f14hp If folding 24/7 then Titanium is going to be worth it though.

The hardest part for PBO tuning is idle and light load testing. There's plenty of heavy load stress testing available but that doesn't help if your rig is crashing at idle The curve optimizer is the right idea but it's just not anywhere near capable of certifying that you won't crash under light loads or idle. I miss the old Phenom MSR Tweaker. It was extremely easy to test all P-states with that software.

Those are fun and look great under a proper lamp shade. Good to see you Minotaur and been missing you folding with us.

Looks like EVGA did you right with the UK layout

That is great news. So that means that the rest of the EVGA prizes should be hitting everyone else on that side of the ocean very soon.

Yeah not every processor will be able to do PBO +200 or any at all if there isn't headroom, so no worries if that doesn't work. Some will have trouble with even 101-102 base clock. Yeah if it's 100 that's the one you want. Keep in mind it will throw all of your voltages on your notepad out the window as it shifts everything. I had a notebook full too lol.

Your mileage will vary on the benefits of raising base clock a few percent, so you'll have to just test it and see. I noticed on the hexacore ryzens that it helped as they were easier to stay in the power envelope. You should find it on the advanced OC menu somewhere. It would normally be auto or 100MHz. It may be near a setting called spread spectrum. The advantage of using a base clock increase is of course to force boost clocks (and all power state clocks) a little higher. It affects all clocks though, so back off your memory and fabric multipliers accordingly for stability. On AM4 it also affects PCI bus, so generally you have to stay at 104 or below or drop back a gen for stability. It's something worth experimenting with to wring our the last few MHz. Example: 104 bclk +200MHz PBO on Ryzen 5 5500: https://valid.x86.fr/wtl521

Try a sprinkle of base clock, like 103-104

@Avacado

Understood. This is why we cut back to 48-hour challenges until December. That last 96-hour was brutal

I gave them a nudge to check the status of the EU/UK shipments.
