Hey, has axipher managed to fix the issue with the scorecard or no? Really excited, about a day before it starts.

Good news, I have an update. The Doctor I was seeing who diagnosed me (wrongly) with bursitis referred me to his partner, who handles impingements and is sports medicine. He wanted to send me for a special CAT scan using the Stryker protocol, and the imaging will be sent to them in Germany for them to construct a 3D model of my hips that I assume he can rotate, zoom in on, and so forth. The CAT scan got approved by my insurance and it's on Monday, and it takes around 2 weeks for Stryker to construct a 3D model for him, at which point I will have an office visit, and presumably, be scheduled for the operation. The purpose of this is for him to know exactly where the impingements are, and he can perform a procedure using that data to go in my hips and use essentially an angle grinder or sander to get rid of the excess bone matter in the hip, as well as to try to round off the top of the femur (mine is mishaped; it's genetic). I will have to do 6-12 weeks of physical therapy, and note this is only for the left hip, the same process will have to be repeated for the right, including the imaging. He can start on the right 6 weeks after doing the left while I'm still recovering, I can be sent for another CAT, etc.

Where's Borat when you need him?

Got this set up on the Macintosh and uploaded it, I thought you guys might get a laugh out of it. There's also an evil, mean version called AZILE I could make a video of.

That bandwidth is impressive, but the L3 Cache bandwidth speed is half of mine and the latency like 4 times higher. I'm sure it can still run games ok, especially GPU bound ones, but that slow L3 is less than ideal for gaming. Do you plan to fold on the chip as well as the 4090s?

I just checked out the Razer Kishi v2 and it looks sick. Like a lot better than the Nintendo Switch joy cons are. I have no real reason to emulate games on my phone, particularly PS1 as my PS2 is modded and backwards compatible and I have a few PS1 memory cards. I much prefer to play on a CRT as well. And for any other system, well I have pretty much all of them so.. Couple years ago I played through all of Xenogears again on my PS2.

Since my GIMP skills have improved substantially, I made a new and smaller banner in the OP that says "EHW Retro" instead of "EXHW Retro". I made this club and the other banner when I was quite new to the site, so... @UltraMega you playing anything on the PSX emu on your phone? I'm also curious to see what Bluetooth controller you use when you play.

How much did you pay for this build and how much profit will you make? If you don't mind answering.

Looks good. Good job bro. Here's hoping it sells. Seems like a pretty good 1080p Ultra system, I personally have no idea if a RTX 3070 can handle 1440p or higher, though. Edit: also do you overclock them at all before you sell them? Set PBO settings and set up an Afterburner profile for the GPU? If you did you could probably charge a little extra.

It was showing on my phone when I made that post, if that helps janco at all. Might be a browser thing. I was using Firefox on a Pixel 6a. Edit: still showing up now on mobile for me 6/8 12:45 Central. Hope this helps

Banner looks amazing

In bigred Also sorry bud I can't donate anything this month, we are looking at donating $300 to a local food bank.

So the cost per kWh here is 9.6 cents. Since it's summer and we're using the A/C (though it's set to 78F) I was going to stop folding for a few months. But I really want to and we worked it out and the cost would only be about $34 a month. Actually, it may be a little less as I used 500w power consumption for the calculation, but my Kill-A-Watt meter as well as GreenWithEnvy show the card using 350, 400, 450 or 500 watts depending on work unit. I ran it by my wife and she's ok with me continuing to fold, because I really want to, and we can afford it. Also I was folding in January and February when it was 10F outside or less and the heat was going, and we had high natural gas bills as well as power bills. Like $250 combined. Heat isn't an issue at all really because my rig is in a finished basement that's probably 10F cooler than upstairs. The heat IS an issue if I run the 3060 for foldathons in wife's office, I was pretty shocked at how hot it made the room, it was sweltering. TL;DR I got the ok that we can afford for me to continue to fold over the summer.

Way faster on mobile in Firefox with Privacy Badger, Ghostery, Ublock Origin and HTTPS Everywhere. No 3-5 second load time when loading the next page of a thread. It didn't bother me all that much, even though I'm on mobile more often than the desktop. It is also faster in Linux in Firefox on my desktop with the same addons plus NoScript. Good work and hope this information helps. If I start to experience slowdown using my browsers and config, I'll be sure to let you know privately, @ENTERPRISE

You may need to wait til Winter with the window cracked and if you have notes of your benchmark scores, that's going to help if you manage to OC your RAM. Try the timings that kaliz posted when you do. Also, it needs to be stated that on Ryzen, RAM OC also involves keeping the RAM and Infinity Fabric coupled in ratio, which in turn runs the L3 cache slightly faster which also helps in games especially. So it's not just your RAM you are OC'ing.

Well, tbh I have really no clue on Intel OR AMD chips as I don't follow mobile CPUs very much, so I have no idea. If you Google the processor name (if listed), you should be able to see specs on either Intel Ark or AMDs page for that chip. Only consider the latest gen chips. They sell lots of laptops that aren't cutting edge anymore, like with 12th gen Intel or whatever. As far as a 4070, I said that as a minimum. If your goal is to run AAA games in 7 years on low or whatever, considering it's mobile, you're probably going to need one with the 4090. Remember you get what you pay for so if longevity is your concern make sure you check the model number of the CPU on the sites i mentioned. If a website/retailer doesn't give that exact model name of the CPU in the system for you to look up, don't even consider it.

3900x RAM Scaling vs 9900K - Google Sheets DOCS.GOOGLE.COM 2080 Ti RAM Latency via Aida64 3900X Memory Speeds,Latency (ns) 3900X - 3800 [Manual],64.4 3900X - 3800 CL16,67.4 3900X - 3600... Finally found it. Old data and games but oh well. RAM tweaking is a HUGE part of owning Ryzen and tweaking it, and you can see in the Average All Data in the chart that going from 3600 to 3800MHz with manually tweaked timings can give up to a 9% performance boost. Even going to 3733MHz with highly optimized secondary and tertiary timings would as well, though it's not shown. I keep a printoff of my ZenTimings and every time I update the bios (and I have a newer board that gets regularly updated) I enter them all in manually, as well as many other settings like disabling Spread Spectrum, setting Digi+VRM settings and fan profile, this is a part of the hobby. I just use a printoff of my ZenTimings blown up large. I keep it by my motherboard manual. On my Zen 3+ system, my wife's build with my old 5900x, I probably change around 100 settings in various menus on the motherboard and also have a printoff for RAM timings for that one. I change a lot of stuff in the AMD CBS menu like BankGroupSwap, Interleaving size, etc. Subsequently, that work that is a part of the hobby pays off in the long run. Also, if you're running 5000 series, you shouldn't be needing to BIOS flash and reenter all settings very often, if at all, as x570 has been around for 4 years and they've pretty much optimized it and fixed all the issues with it. They are focusing more on x670e and other chipsets now. I digress, yes it is a PITA to reenter settings but the payoff is worth it, though less so on Zen 4 than 3000 or 5000 series. Put in the work. It's worth it. That's my advice.

Interesting topic. Are Zen 4 mobile chips available yet? If not, you may want to wait for them. I see Costco specials on laptops as they send us a flier monthly, but the last one I saw with Ryzen had the 5650u, but it's 7nm and only 6 cores with a low boost of 4.2GHz. If you aim to play AAA games on it, I'd suggest getting a processor with at least 8 cores/16 thread since that's what the current gaming consoles have, so you want at least that from either Intel or AMD. Graphics wise I'd shoot for top of the line like 4070 minimum. Hope this helps.

Lol no my new PSU fixed the issue. It's still folding 24/7, though I'll stop and only fold for foldathons in like 3 weeks when it gets to be 85~90 or hotter every day.

Repasted my pair of 1080ti FTW3 as well as many other cards with Prolimatech PK3-Nano Aluminum that I swear by. Cheap and works great. I have not, and will not be repasting my 4090 because it really doesn't seem like it needs it and tbh these cards just keep getting more complex to disassemble over time with backplates and rgb wires. I also don't want to fry a $1900 GPU (Cook County IL taxes are crazy)

Thanks so much for figuring out the issue. I grew up with AOL 2.0 on a Macintosh with a 1200 baud modem, and trust me, I am used to waiting and could live and deal with 56k again. So the slow loading is not a problem for me. Let's hope you are correct and moving to a dedicated host solves the issue for those who are impatient

Here's the 1.0 mug I like it but imo it is a little blurry, unfortunately. Still, it's awesome to see something I designed on an actual product

Thanks, but I didn't do anything to organize the foldathon, that was damric and axipher. I had no part in it, so thank them. I just offered up prizes, that's all.
