@firedfly are you still interested in temping with your Quadro or any other GPU?

 

I'm interested.  The Quadro P620 should be good to go.  What do you need me to do?

Actually, nothing at the moment.  I didn't realize that the TC is going to kick back off August 1st, so for now we are all good.

Still waiting on the ASUS RMA, and the ASrock board wont recognize anything on the PCI-e bus. I most likely ruined it when I had that coolant leak. So, roughly 1500$ worth of x399 boards that don't work. If I can't get anything rolling by next weekend, you should definitely sub in firedfly.

Sorry for the delay in response, my 5700 is still going for now at least.  It's in the Wife's gaming rig and she's starting to paly more FF XIV and do some video editing, so it might not be the highest numbers on some days.

Thanks for the update @axipher

That sucks on the x399 boards.  I still have an x399 Taichi if you get in a pinch and need a board.

I might take you up on it, is it the 3 PCI-e slot one with 3 M.2  ports?

It's the ATX board, so 4 x16 PCIe slots (2 @ x16 electrical; 2 @ x8 electrical) and three M.2 slots (2 from the CPU and one from the chipset).

Don't forget to get signed up chaps.....

@tictoc I want it, pm me your price and payment method. If I can get it before the 1st, strong chance I can get a WC Tesla going for the ETF

Going to run my Quadro K4000 in the ETF. Bought another PSU and when it gets here I will put it on my Z370/8700K board.

That will leave me in the wildcard slot.  I've been testing some random GPUs, so I'll have the hardware sorted before we go live.

I have a spare generic GPU waterblock that I will try to affix to it, if not at the very least she'll get some new pads/paste.

Either the K4000 or the GT710. The GT710 looks great from a electricity cost perspective. Either way. I will trial both this weekend and select one to bug zodac about.

I can do it. Let me know.

@Avacado What's your status with the ETF?  Were you able to get a card running?  

[BWG]

He said to put you in somewhere else, but I'll get ya setup once I have site access.

[tictoc]

@Avacado @axipher Are we all ready to start our reign of dominance? 

 

I'll be folding a 980 KPE for at least the first month.  I ran through some testing on a few different GPUs, but the 980 was the best compromise I could make between actual folding output and ETF points.  I have a few GPUs that might be better for the comp, but the actual PPD was just too low for me to justify running 24/7, when I have other gear sitting on a shelf with respectable output.  

[tictoc]

Double post because I'm the captain, and that's what captains do.

 

Adding the TFA logo to the OP.

My 5700 is going to do it's best.

Sorry for my late start team.

 

Internet went out in my area Friday night, and then my router decided to begin a slow death sometime during the outage.  This turned into a nightmare to troubleshoot, because I was just assuming that the internet was still down.  I restarted my router a few times, once it looked like the internet was back up, and that is when I started to suspect that, in a rather unbelievable coincidence, my router had also decided to die.  My modem just serves as a dumb bridge to my EdgeRouter, so I went through a bunch of config/re-config on the router and modem, before I noticed that the only port that was lit up on my router was the console port.  Hooked my laptop up to the modem, took it out of bridge mode, and lo and behold I had internet access.

 

Currently using my ISP modem as my router, so things are back up for now, but I will probably have some additional down-time once I get my new router.  I should be able to time it with the start of a WU, so hopefully it won't affect my folding output.

Fingers crossed, always sucks when it's not an easy to find problem that masks itself as 5 other possibilities.

 

My worst is when my PiHole decides to just stop resolving DNS breaking new sites but letting me mostly continue to browse current sites I had open already.

Ok BOIS! Up and running.
