I was looking for that type of link earlier .... never found it in the thread & I'm new here.  I've got over 30K posts in my "home" forum where I'm also a Mod

 

Thank you

 

We're very happy to have you here!

 

Some folks have messaged me in the various places to tell me they will be arriving late today some time. That's perfectly OK. Better late to the party than never

Everyone loves coming on to the forums right?

Well, that's the problem right there, you see. I love visiting the forums so much, my ADHD kicks in and prevents me from getting actual work done

It was linked in the OP for some time, until it was changed to the embedded score card. I managed to find it in my browser history and thought I'd share  

Welcome btw, I'm quite new here as well. Found my way over from the LTT forums, by damrics invite to this event. So far I'm liking this community very much, everyone here seems pretty nice. Kinda like a family

Glad you could join our family. Since you like it here, you may want to check out our HWBOT team, which also punches way above our weight.

 

We also have smaller monthly folding challenges (48 hours until end of fall).

 

And if you really feeling it, we have EXTREME TEAM folding (ETF league) where you are on a team, and each of you folds with 1 piece of hardware 24/7 with a handicap bonus based on the LARS data.

Yea, he does that. You kinda get used to it after awhile.

I picked up 18475 on my old server machine..... 4.32 days left, 54561 ppd.  That contribution is going to 50711

[elblat]

Looks like the team has already gained a place up. Might even go up another before the event finishes.

You're good. Plenty of time left to crunch.

Got all three of the 3090's online 

 

Blocks were gross, but got them cleaned up enough to run the PC. Will need to break it down and clean everything at some point.

might want to look into running Koolance fluids, I've heard from many 4 years with no issues, is possible

I've run Koolance 702 before and had good luck with it. This was from an old batch of Mayhems. I think I actually came up short and added some super old X1 to X1 Eco. Totally my own fault but you live and learn.

Added a few GPUs to the mix.  They are not great for F@H, but it will bump up the ppd by 4-5M.

Clearly AMD isn't the right choice here.   My whole fleet is online (anything worth running), and I'm barely getting like 2.6-2.8m PPD across 5 systems. -_-

And this is why after this fold-a-thon, I'm out lol.

Every little helps bud. 

 

To be honest for point chasing, Nvidia is the better choice unfortunately. I wish AMD GPU's had the same good fortune as you can pick them up at a good price.

I'm using somewhere between 1.5-2kw right now, and barely breaking 3m PPD lol.

What are you using? I'm using a single 2070, 400W (for my entire house, not just the GPU, as of typing this) for 2.2M PPD.

Yeah that perf/watt is not awesome. Especially at the moment with the price of energy....here in the UK at least.

Just tweaked my 6900XT, hopefully more core clock helps.   We'll see how my PPD looks here in a few hours, see if it updates any faster.

ETA is now 21 hours 32 minutes, aka in ~19 hours the ETA dropped ~9 hours 

 

wish folding.lar.systems had more complete data, curious how much faster a 7900/7950X or 13900K would be on the same WU.
