  1. I can do $50 per month recurring until ads and proper sponsors are caught up.
  2. Well I just sent an inquiry to my (second) cousin Pat to see if Intel could possibly spare a few bucks. I wonder if I will get a reply. He never replies.
  3. I don't know what's going on with points but they seem very erratic. Those little Pascals are dangerous. Are they overclocked? I'm eyeballing a better ETF card for Michele than her GTX 750.
  4. Ok a lot to digest here. How will this affect our folding and HWBOT teams, ect? I think we can keep them alive if we can keep the discord open. Discord is free right? How much does it cost to keep the site alive as it is? If you don't want to disclose that, I understand, but that information may be helpful to those that may wish to help out.
  5. Is there a limit of how many 4-pin PWM fan extender cables I can use? I need about a 4 foot run to get to the window. I have been wanting to mount a big ass radiator in the window for some time. In January and February it can intake cool air from outside. For the rest of the year it's like summer year so it will be exhausting.
  6. I saw Luumi in my youtube feed recently, but I recognized the name from hwbot. I watched a couple minutes but I'm always kind of bored by halo products. Give me that low bin stuff and leave me lots of OC headroom and I'm happy. Speaking of HWBOT, I earned a few points today for the team. Our team is small but we have consistent members benching what they have. We're growing too. It seemed like just last year there were only like 2 of us active.
  7. Ok it survived the foldathon. Gonna power it down before my office looks like the one in above picture
  8. You might be hitting power limits because of the faster VRAM. You could try downclocking that a bit and see if it helps, or just raise the power limit.
  9. Challenge accepted. Actually I used this power man for ETF for almost a year folding 24/7 for PCIE powered cards. I was curious if it could run the Ryzen 2700x folding during this month's foldathon. Mosfets are cool on the board, but it is open air.
  10. I see. Well I can't say I'm too particularly fold of too many brands, but I generally do choose SuperFlower PSUs ever since my first Rosewill Capstone because they generally have good performance per price value and solid ripple suppression for overclocking. I generally hate Corsair anything, but especially their RAM lol.
  11. I just got home from my sister's cookout and omg one of the folding rigs was making a horrible noise ratting. I pressed on all of the fans and it didn't matter. I'm like omg something's going to die. For some reason I decided to pinch one of the water hoses such that I stopped flow. As soon as I released, a big air bubble came up from the pump into the reservoir. It just had to burp. Carry on.
  12. Pretty sure it's a rebranded FSP. It survived all of the benchmarks and wasn't even warm. Nothing crashed despite huge overclock so ripple couldn't have been too bad...
  13. Fear the Power Man and his golden cups earned today.
  14. Since you guys liked the M2000, you can get similar huge overclocks with the W2100 and W4100 GCN based Firepro and they are cheap asf on ebay.
  15. I threw this together with spare parts. This PSU came out of a sff uATX. Ryzen 2700x PBO and WX2100 (Polaris-Lexa) OC'd +425MHz Running 3Dmarks now
  16. I ordered some vinyl that size from Amazon but I have not used it yet. I also looked at US plastics but they ask a lot for shipping.
  17. Just curious, how much did you guys pay for your M2000s? I paid about $150 on ebay but it was before the price collapse. I'm very curious about M4000 and M5000 now.
  18. If it was cheap to do so then that would be a good option
  19. You guys crushing my M2000? I might just have to revisit that soon and try applying some voltage. I don't know if I can complete with your CPU physics scores though but I'll try I'm going to send @PCSarge a care package here soon. I did not have a chance to get it mailed today, but I have some SSDs and cards for him to blow up for team points
  20. Quadro M2000 is down for a couple hours for a hardware upgrade Edit: looks like it's back up and running, hopefully without any hiccups with the new configuration. I recently upgraded Michele's 4K gaming rig to an X570 motherboard and I took her old X470 motherboard and upgraded the B450 that my ETF rig was using. I also changed the processor from Ryzen 2700x to 5600G, and upgraded the RAM to some Ballistix MAX that I caught at a discount. Clean install, and ofc F@H decided to run 3x clients at default. Rather than killing the CPU and APU clients, I am letting them run on my other F@H key. Says about 500K PPD, which isn't bad for a mostly stock clocked APU and the M2000. Hopefully running the other clients doesn't take away from the M2000's utilization, but I'll keep an eye out. I think I can fine tune the CPU/APU and RAM frequencies a bit. Everything is under water on two 240mm cheap aluminum rads Now I need to figure out what to do with the B450 board/RAM/2700X. Might sell to a friend or just build another folding bench.
  21. What I used to do was spray duster cans upside down into air cooler radiator but slush buckets are great too
  22. I think for 6GHz you'll need to get sub-zero. I know @Bones used dry ice to get there.
