Welcome to the ExtremeHW 3-day Folding Competition, January 21-23rd Countdown to Event Start Countdown to Event Stop ATTENTION Extreme Team Folding Participants: Please make sure you do not fold anything under your ETF GPU Passkey except for the GPU you are participating in the event with. You need to use a 2nd passkey to fold anything else in this event. In the spirit of folding for the cause and good old friendly competition between members, we are hosting another folding competition. For more details please see below. 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: @neurotix has a keyboard, mousepad, and a couple fans to give away. See the pictures below. @Fluxmaven has some EHW sticker bling. See below. Folding Time Prizes: tbd Excluded from Prizes: n/a All "Folding Time" prizes will require your username/passkey to be given to the donator, this will not give them any of your personal information, it just let's them be able to contribute full points to your username. Passkeys need at least 10 full Work Units to start getting the full Quick Return Bonus. Alternatively, you could setup another passkey for your Folding@Home username with a different email address and fold your first 10 units on that. This would still put the points towards your username, but they would also be tracked by a different passkey. Please note all winners must claim within 30 days from announcement of the winners. Current Event Stats: Note: Stats are updated every hour at XX:25 for previous hour of submitted Work Units. The first update at 00:25 AM UTC will set the "zero" for your points based on all the WU's submitted up to 12 AM UTC. Good luck to all!

Haha you'll have more points than me all year in like 3 days. Now that's a great winter folding overclock for heating the home, but I am much more curious at what kind of PPD that card can put out in a "summer folding mode" at like 100-150w. So if you have the time to create a couple profiles, I'd love to see just how efficient it can be with some undervolting and clock restraint. I tuned my 6900XT to fold at about 125w for this hell hole Alabama weather and it does pretty good PPD at 800mV.

Nice work! Print that certificate!

Quite an accomplishment

Merry New Year!

I have two Ryzen builds that fold nvidia cards. I have two that fold Radeons. All are Windows 10. I don't know anything about the last 2 gen of Intel with the big-small cores. I would have thought that the efficiency cores would be very advantageous for folding. Just whatever you do don't get the Arc GPU. They currently don't fold because of precision limits.

Pretty much what said, but I'm a little more conservative. On my 6 core Ryzens with 1 GPU I fold 10 of 12 threads. In my 8 core Ryzens with 1 GPU I fold 14 of 16 threads. With those configs the "inactive core" and its two threads are very loaded just managing stuff.

A little over an hour left. Go Go Go

Faster than all of my hardware combined

Agreed. It looks amazing. We have a lot of hardware cups and medals. I should figure out how to change my hwbot name back to my forum handle.

Probably confused the UTC Saturday midnight time. For Americans that means we have to start on Friday. But don't worry. This is a 3-day challenge so plenty of time for you to catch up. If this works out for everyone, I don't see why we shouldn't run 72 hour challenges through March.

Hey Neuro, I forgot to ask you, what did you do with the other 5900x?

That sounds awesome. How hot does it get in that basement with all of them running? Or does it stay cool?

Yeah it's a shame because I loved everything else about that board. The tuning features worked great. But that weird dual BIOS was just such a burden that it ruined it for me. I'm glad you figured out that trick to do the forced switch.

Is that one of the Gigabyte boards with TWO BIOS chips, but there isn't a toggle switch for them? If so, I'm sorry, that "feature" is annoying as hell. There is a weird trick to force the chips to switch. I mostly forgot it but it was something to do with holding the reset button in and and power button for like 5-10 seconds. I was so fed up that I rid myself of the board (an X370 Aorus K5).

There's a guy in Poland that creates some very good case badges. I bought from him before. Might want to see what he can create. https://www.etsy.com/shop/lukparts?ref=simple-shop-header-name&listing_id=1002383862

You will have to jump through a couple hoops with the guys that run the whitelist on the official folding forum. It will sometimes take about a day for them to message you back, but they will, and they are helpful. If it is indeed possible, they will allow that card. New GPUs (whitelist) - Folding Forum FOLDINGFORUM.ORG It's possible that Intel has not added double precision calculations to the drivers yet.

I sure hope it does. I want to see what that Arc can do.
