@Bastiaan_NL we need you

Good news for the other teams. My ETF rig is down until I get a chance to re-route some coolant tubes. Apparently when a soft tube gets warm enough it is more likely to kink, and the kink got worse. I told Michele I had to order some anti-kink coil because I had some kinky hose and she about tore my head off

Some volunteers from techpowerup and we are glad to have you

Congrats dude. I'm glad you have a role in something you enjoy doing

Glad to have you. What are you farming over at the Chateau de Cerebus Plantation?

Right those keyboards look sweet. Of course I just had to order a new one because last week my volume knob broke. That volume knob is must-have for me because I'm blasting heavy metal when I'm working out in my office. I think there's two keyboards CM has put up though so good chance of winning, I mean better than playing the lottery

Glad to have you. Welcome to EXTREMEHW. Be sure to check out our HWBOT Team and our discord if you need a question answered quickly

Updated with the Cooler Master prizes thanks @Avacado

You're good. It's just an issue for the extreme team here, so you can use whatever key you already got. Whatever name you fold, type it here with "IN" and be sure to use the team number 239902. You make me so happy for joining us on this one

I mess around with base clock as well. It was especially effective on Cezanne to exceed the +200 pbo values because those rarely run into power limits. On Vermeer I can run 104 base clock for better multicore but I can't combine with the full +200 and it doesn't get as much top boost because it needs more voltage. So I set two different OC profiles for 5800x, one with 104 base clock for benches like cinebench. One with - CO +200 for single core benches.

Welcome aboard

And you got it assembled with no instructions! Nice work!

Bump, finalized rules for prize draw in accordance with EXH planning committee.

Yeah sometimes they make you give it back. Been lucky I got to keep most of my samples over the years.

lol did they seriously want it back?

I think Q-cruncher is @tictoc ?

@axipher do your thing. @bonami2 this is now released!

Dude we had to put our AC on today. It's ridiculously warm outside. I went mountain biking wearing hardly anything today. It should not be this warm until May, but it is.

I had the WMI get corrupted on both my #2 and #3 folding benches. I blame a bad windows update. I'm trying to get Michele's ETF rig back up now with Linux Mint, but I'm lost on how to set it up right so I'm about to flush it and try Windows 10 or 11.

Whelp, just noticed Michele's ETF rig wasn't folding, or doing anything except failing to load windows. Will have to fix it tomorrow. Probably going to try linux because I'm tired of windows updates breaking my stuff.

I feel you. I had to pause main rig for about 2 hours so I could play some Midnight Suns

I think my eyes are going bad or maybe I worked out too hard.

Looks awesome!

On a lot of cases you can put it directly behind the front panel. Wear gloves.
