I'm seriously considering a pulley system to hang rigs from the ceiling

Dude I have no room for the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th test benches. They are almost stacked on each other now

I want @Avacado to captain an etf team

You got to show me exactly what so we don't mess that up again. It sounds like some nitpicky crap that any of us could have messed up. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that none of my subs get scrutinized. I think I have 4 or 5. I try and do them right, but even after over a decade doing it I still mess them up.

You first timers did awesome. There's a crap load of rules, and they didn't scare you away. Our team is ranked pretty darn good in the overall season and worldwide points now.

Yeah I know some guys had to take down etf rigs to accommodate the hwbot team competition. That's wrapping up soon and weather is getting somewhat more reasonable so I'm thinking our participation will improve. I will say hats off to my team for keeping chugging along.

It's probably running in AHCI mode, but you don't have to fill in anything irrelevant to the benchmark. There used to be badges you could earn by using certain vendor's products but I haven't seen those points added in years. Like I've been sitting at 48/50 for that g.skill achievement and I know I have blown past that half a decade ago.

Alright my friends. As the time for benchmarking draws to a close, the time for folding is upon us. Take all of those cards you hoarded for the HWBOT team comp and run them until the fans blow off.

Welcome to the ExtremeHW Folding Competition, October 22 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: tbd 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!

Order to my rigs brings a little order to my life, now where's the pizza I ordered?

Extremehw has done very well so far in this comp. I don't have anything else I can bench for the comp, but I did start benching Michele's old reference 6900xt for general submissions. Not quite as fast as it was on her 5800x/x570, but still very good despite PCIE 3.0.

Try using full screen mode instead of windowed mode

She just sent me pics. They are ATI, so pretty old. That has me more intrigued. Waiting to see if she can send me a picture of the GPU die.

If Michele can remember, she found some ancient video cards at work yesterday. We're leaving out of town until next month but I have a couple hours tonight if she remembers.

Today we explore the cheap things you can find on ebay and try and put it together.

What I was thinking when I saw this... Avacado going to use these on DDR5 experiment with Pure Copper RAM Heatsink Radiator for Ram DDR3 Memory Cooler Cooling Heat SinkX6 WWW.EBAY.COM 1 Heatsink (Because each batch of pure copper material is different, the appearance of the product may have color difference). Colour: copper color. Material: pure copper.

I get random emails from these shops and this one caught my interest. I did not know they made these. Anyone ever tried one? 82w/mk Gpu Graphics Card Memory Cooling Gddr6x Vram Non 3d Graphite Thermal Pad For 3070 3080 3090 High Performance Thermal Pad - Pc Components Cooling & Tools - AliExpress WWW.ALIEXPRESS.COM Smarter Shopping, Better Living!

I swear I'm unlucky when it comes to Samsung B-die DDR4. These Vipers are rated 4400CL19, won't post at that speed/timing, but will post with * timings worse than my dirt cheap Micron sticks. I'll be putting the Ballistix back in tomorrow. The Vipers will at least do 3200CL14 on one of my folding rigs so that's where they will go.

One good side effect of all of this unstable overclocking while trying to benchmark is that I was able to find a really good stable clock for my 4x8GB Ballistix Micron E DDR4-3600CL16. For 24/7 it's running at 4300CL16 now. I've not had that much agility of RAM since DDR3-2400CL9.

Well you are stuck with the 12nm GF IO die on Vermeer, so you'll never get the 1:1 clocks like you see on my Cezannes. But don't fret, 1966 is very good , andI can't even run that fast on my 5800x. Just try tuning timings now. Try adding some base clock up to 104 or whatever the threshold is before PCI bus downgrades itself.

I gave us a new high score for AMD DDR4 with my Ryzen 5500. I think I can still do better. These are 4x8GB Micron E DDR4-3600 16-18-18 sticks that I'm pushing to 4266 or beyond. I have some other sticks to try as well including some Samsung B.

I think everyone who posted in this thread hit at least 10 WUs. Obviously some hit a hell of a lot more

Looks like quite a few people got over 10 WUs according to the score card.

In theory the results files can be reloaded and can give you the link

Keep at it and don't get discouraged by the ridiculously poor submission process.
