  1. How do you get the folding@home fight covid-19 badge?
  2. Generally around 31m PPD with the core hovering around 2885MHz. This card CAN do 3090MHz fine with Windows and benching, however in Linux using GreenWithEnvy I've noticed if I put the core higher than 2900MHz then GWE will show the speed dropping to 2000MHz for a couple seconds then going back up while folding. It might be because I can't control the voltage. It holds 2880MHz stable and continuously though. TL;DR 31m ppd at 2880/12220MHz (my memory overclocks really well. Stock mem is 10500).
  3. Earned 22m points for the team so far and it hasn't even been 24 hours. lol Folding@home | Statistics STATS.FOLDINGATHOME.ORG Folding@home Statistics
  4. Thanks guys. I just checked and it says bonus active, though I don't believe I've completed 10. (Maybe I have though since this monster chews through the WUs I'm getting in like 15-30 minutes)
  5. Retro T-shirt. Not sure I'm totally happy with it but w/e. Have more ideas/plans for shirts tomorrow The japanese at the top says Extreme Hardware and the japanese on the bottom of the logo says "pushing it to the limit"
  6. No option to control voltage at all in Linux. Take a look. Had to remember to blur my ip address Edit: Also is the quick return bonus still a thing? I'll start making more points once I submit 10 WUs?
  7. Sorry for double posting. @Avacado, how do you get your folding stats in your signature like that? I think I want to do the same.
  8. Here is a black logo with "pushing it to the limit" centered and in medium gray, this one is for use on a black hat (baseball cap). Though it will probably be up to Enterprise to find a good cap maker online. (For t-shirts I suggest redbubble).
  9. Alright guys, sorry for the long delay on this thread. I thought that if we are going to have merch, that we should add ".net" to the existing logo so if people see us wearing a t-shirt they'll know it's a website and maybe check it out and join. If I can get a shirt, I'd go to Microcenter and wear it, etc. I think people are far less likely to just look up ExtremeHW or what looks like XtremeHW because of how the E looks in the logo. So, I have been going back and forth with Enterprise for a week and he approved usage of the logo I made with .NET on the end. I could not use the exact font but I used a similar one and manually stretched it to about the same thickness as the original. Also attached is a zip file containing the GIMP .xcf as well as a .psd of the logo. ehwlogo-net.zip
  10. I got it figured out and the flatpak application GreenWithEnvy works. Curiously, I am actually able to increase my power limit to 480w which I can't do at all in Windows for benching. Anyway, I thought you guys would wanna see this ppd:
  11. I've joined the team and hopefully my points from OCN will carry over. (144m). I have folding set up in Linux, GPU only. Anyone folding on Linux? I'm on Mint but I don't see the Flatpak app GreenWithEnvy available when I search in Software Manager. I need that to OC the card. It's doing pretty well and hovering around 55C with 80% fan.
  12. Fond memories of the Vishera club and we talked a lot back then. Can't believe that was over 10 years ago. I'm sure you must remember me. Welcome to a site without 25 tracking scripts, @Alastair
  13. Sadly, I'm not very well versed in retro pc gaming. I know and played Sim City/SC2000, Doom (all of the DOS ones), Duke3D, original Wolfenstein and the Epic games like Jazz Jackrabbit, One Must Fall, Tyrian, etc. I'm guessing it wasn't the original Doom. Could it have been Marathon or it's sequel? Made by Bungie and Macintosh only I think. Otherwise go watch LGR videos on YouTube til you find it or ask in the comments. I mostly played all the FF games over and over back then, Street Fighter series, some shmups like Gradius III, beat em ups at friends houses like Streets of Rage and Final Fight, and for the 3D era I was playing everything Square released on my PlayStation, and Mario 64 and Wave Race on my 64. In the early 2000s I played pc games on a Pentium 4 1.8Ghz with a GeForce MX4000 (potato rig). I played Ragnarok Online(where I met my wife) Lineage 2 and WoW so I missed a lot being addicted to MMOs. Sorry.
  14. @Fluxmavenadded you to the club. @Sir Beregond did anything I mentioned for Dreamcast ring a bell, or has it been too long? I'm a huge Dreamcast fan and own 2 of them and even some boxed VMUs (the memory card for it you could play simple games on).
  15. The best advice I can give is to take your current GMMK and pull all the keycaps off and take all the switches out and open it up (requires a small sized Phillips screwdriver like the one in this set: Amazon.com WWW.AMAZON.COM ) It's pretty easy, just remove 10 or so screws that are all on the front underneath the switches and keycaps. Once you do this, the plastic back comes off. If you look at the exposed pcb, you'll see its attached to the metal case by yet more small screws, a few might be hidden under tape: when taking things like this apart it is handy to use an ice cube tray and put the different sized screws in different places in the tray so all your front screws go in one hole in the tray, and the ones for the pcb can go in another. Amazon.com WWW.AMAZON.COM ^ thin crafters foam you can stick inside the case for noise dampening, this is what I did to my GMMK as it is pretty loud and metal clangy sounding by default. You can get this stuff at Joann Fabrics or Michael's or Hobby Lobby too. https://www.amazon.com/Scrapbooking-Permanent-Adhesive-Dispenser-Photo-Safe/dp/B09WYLLX4V/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=3KAL2X09N17WX&keywords=roll+on+tape&qid=1672774769&sprefix=roll+on+yape%2Caps%2C150&sr=8-3 ^ roll on double sided tape. I used this to attach some of the thin foam underneath where the space bar is, as well as underneath the gap between Home, Del, End, etc. And the arrow keys (my GMMK is 104 key full size). I just cut strips and squares of the foam with scissors and rolled some of the tape on one side and stuck them on the front side of the pcb. I put more of the foam on the back side of the pcb underneath the stock thin foam mine had in it, too. https://www.amazon.com/Universal-Magnetic-Holder-Adhesive-Compatible/dp/B07CJ1SPY7/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?crid=2R7FZM0A5ZEUR&keywords=metal+plate&qid=1672775072&sprefix=metal+plate%2Caps%2C141&sr=8-4 ^ metal weights you *might* be able to fit inside the keyboard case, I used a small flat rectangular one I had laying around on mine as the board is quite light stock. This will keep it from sliding around on your desk and just make it feel more substantial overall. https://www.amazon.com/Lucas-Oil-10533-Lithium-Grease/dp/B004X70LZA/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=4OCOI334PC0K&keywords=lithium+grease&qid=1672778122&sprefix=lithium+%2Caps%2C164&sr=8-3 White lithium grease. Look up a YouTube video on how to remove all your stabilizers, clip them (buy a flush cutter for this) and put lithium grease on the metal bars. This will reduce the sound and clang made by the spacebar and backspace, enter, etc. I did this to my GMMK as well. Consider cutting masking or painter's tape and putting it carefully on the sides of the top metal case (don't cover the aluminum going around the board) and then Plastidip it your favorite color. I did mine in white on top and used Plastidip pearlizer on it too to give it a sparkly finish. I also plastidipped the inside top of the case to help with making the LEDs brighter. Consider looking into different switches, I am not familiar with the ones you are using now and if they are linear, tactile like MX Browns or clicky. Then consider travel distance and get some o-rings to your preference. Finally, invest in some high quality PBT keycaps. Mine are genuine Filco Sakura keycaps and cost me $80 from caseking.de I think. The possibilities are endless really and opening and taking apart your current board and modding it this way will teach you a lot about how modern mechanical keyboards are assembled and how they work. Most of all, have fun doing it. I've attached a photo of my GMMK which is my endgame board: Kailh Box Jades and WASD blue o-rings. Here is a video of how it sounds, too. I think I got the space bar and backspace pretty quiet compared to stock with all the mods.
  16. Thanks. I'll check it out. Do you know what date it's releasing? My wife just finished the game, well she got the A and B endings but I think she's done with it. This is one we could watch together.
  17. Oh nice thanks for the heads up on the anime adaptation. Do you know what streaming services will have it? (I don't have Crunchyroll)
  18. Dreamcast games.. if it was a turn based combat rpg, was it Skies of Arcadia (were you Vyse, the air pirate and it all took place in the sky with airships?) It could also be Grandia II or possibly Evolution 1 or 2. Arcade style fighter jet game could have been Aerowings 2 or Airforce Delta (made by Konami, so sad what ended up happening to them in the last few years). I had an N64 and played and finished Mario 64 but could never get all 120 stars. Mario Kart 64 is still pretty popular even to this day but I always thought the AI in it was cheap. My first console was a NES with SMB/Duck Hunt and I have around 45 games for it. I'll attach a picture. I am a master of the clay pigeon shooting in Duck Hunt, I can make it to lvl 36 and after level 30 if you miss a single pigeon it's game over. Part of the reason I insist on keeping a CRT is for lightgun games (they only work with a CRT), recently I got another Sega Stunner gun for my Sega Saturn and repaired it and calibrated it so my wife and I played Virtua Cop 1&2, House of the Dead and Area 51 (these were all arcade ports)... Really fun. Ultramega, glad you found a nice Bluetooth controller set and got psx emulation working. I owned a PSX and at one point the PSone which was a smaller low cost version of the PSX, really the first "slim" console I think. I had Capcom fighters for it as well as the 3 Final Fantasies for it, Chrono Cross, and Xenogears (my 2nd favorite game of all time). The PlayStation is definitely a contender for my top 5 consoles of all time. JTSC, I wouldn't exactly consider a rig with 780tis retro but whatever floats your boat man. Seems like they were just out. Back then I had 2x R9 290 Tri-X. Nice setup though. (I have no clue what an evbot even is ) MDK is definitely a cool game, I missed out on it but have seen Lazy Game Reviews videos of them both. I should probably get the first one and give it a try, if I'm not mistaken it was ported to Dreamcast or possibly Playstation. Probably better on pc Fluxmaven, I will add you to the club if you want. I love the Sega Genesis and I have multiple modded PSPs as well, they are great for emulation and emulate nearly every handheld that came before it so it kinda makes my GBA, GB Color and Game Gear pointless lol. Better screen and battery life, save states, etc. On psp. The latest gpsp kai increases compatibility and speed for GBA games and the psp sort of competed with the GBA as well as the DS... Its awesome that you can play the GBA Pokemon games on a psp. I think that covers everyone, whew. Lol
  19. Let's try to keep this club going and add more people. So here's a question: what is your favorite console and game ever? For me it's the SNES and my favorite game for it is Final Fantasy II (the American release of FFIV).
  20. Grim Dawn over LAN with the wife. I think we just have the expansion content left to do. I got her Nier Automata for PS4 for Xmas, I played it when it came out, and recommended it for years. I figured if I bought it for PS4 she'd have no choice but to play it. And she's off all week. She's currently on the 9s storyline. Man this game had fantastic music.
  21. We ended up getting one for $35 amd it has a Macaron theme. Its cute. Would post a link but Microcenter has 4090s so wish us luck with getting there in time to acquire one!
  22. Hey, can someone please recommend a quality mechanical numpad with swappable switches? I'd prefer one prepopulated with switches and keycaps so I can just swap the switches and put o rings on the keycaps and be done with it. Thanks. @Fluxmaven
