  1. You can work around the RAM limitation of 32Bit OS by creating a RAM Disk with the overflow RAM then assigning the drive to Ready Boost.
  2. Just needs a stronger graphics card. I'll put one of my Vegas on there if I can snag a 6800XT near MSRP.
  3. Aright finally got my folder rig back up. Testing it out now.
  4. P.m. me a link to the feed that you watch
  5. Oh wow was that random chance or have you been stalking the site? I haven't been looking too hard but I'd live to get a reference 6800XT
  6. I need about 10-14 more days before my rigs are back up to snuff. I had to order some new parts, and a lot of things are getting reconfigured right now. But when it's all done, I will have 1 machine dedicated to folding 24/7 with other machines that can part-time.

    There is great rivalry among the services but we veterans are quick to dog pile if someone digs on another vet ?

    I did a few tours based out of that area, pretty much hated that place. The traffic was the worst I ever dealt with anywhere including L.A. I remember we had to be on the ship in formation by 0715, and it was more convenient to drive to the base between 10pm and 2am and rest for a few hours in your rack than to try and fight the gridlock that started at 4am. Like seriously it would take 3 hours to drive 15 miles? Then you try and find a legal parking spot but it's another 3 mile walk to the pier. I still have nightmares about that place.

    Now it makes sense why the VA is so backed up!
  11. My go-to drive is the Silicon Power A80 1TB for $115. It's fast enough and very cheap. I've purchased 8 of them over the last 2 years for various builds. Also the A60 1TB is a good deal when it goes for $85. That one isn't quite as fast so I put those on the PCH.
  12. Far Cry 2 has a nice built-in benchmark and the game engine is very friendly to quad-core CPUs. You will be able to compare your overclock scaling with the graphs that it generates. It's DX 10 if I recall, so good for that HD 4890. 3D Mark Vantage was also a very good benchmark for that era. Trying to remember the name of the Unigine benchmark that was before Heaven...
  13. Just curious how many fans you connect via the PST. I'm doing 3 per header, but I wonder how many would be safe since these have pretty low power draw.
  14. This is great, except doesn't TSMC make these? This could really hurt AMD if Apple buys up all of the production.
  15. Did you get those ocz reapers from the market? I saw some Phenom x4 9950s on Ebay. Phenom II also works in that socket.
  16. I like the green E. I see people bitching about flaking on the EK blocks, but mine never flakes while I'm staring at it so I cannot verify if it is a true claim ?
  17. So glad he used the 64 core threadripper.

    Ryzen 3600 Help?

    Have you tried raising VDDP and SoC voltages?
  19. I got the R7 5800X delivered today and installed it on my wife's MSI x470 Gaming Pro Carbon. Wow that thing is fast. I saw it turbo over 4.9GHz in task manager at stock settings. I tested her cooling and it only got to 70C in AIDA. I will tune her RAM tomorrow. I might have to get one for myself now to replace my 3600, then give Ethan my 3600. I love that we now have five AM4 rigs in the house now so if one person gets an upgrade, usually someone else also gets an upgrade I put Michele's old 1600 AF on my test/fold bench. I'm tuning that now. I got my shipping label from ebay to return that dud Ryzen 1200 too Now if my mechanic can fix my truck this weekend then all will be well here.
  20. ^^He's recruiting for Canada Team.

    Ryzen 3600 Help?

    Keeping my fingers crossed for you but I suspect that your 24/7 clock may have to be less than 4.3GHz as mine is. On a positive note, I was benching at 4.45GHz yesterday morning when my water loop was chilled from leaving the windows in that room open overnight. I could even run the AIDA64 FPU with AVX and only hit 76C with 1.456v applied. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/15yM6y7f4AuRuj0qp0J4HX4Pyohc3-nGwIq9Kua9MQsA/htmlview#gid=0
  22. Well the 4 new cats are probably worth more than the truck at this point lol.
