Mind the EVENT START TIMER as it is UTC time zone.

 

Note: Stats are updated as soon as possible, but less frequent than desired. Just keep folding!

 

Note: Extreme Team Members remember to use a different pass key than your ETF key (If you don't know what that is then it probably does not apply to you).

 

Folding is stressful on hardware, and will often break an overclock unless it's been tested with folding. I do not recommend overclocking high end GPUs as the power draw can be extreme while folding. If anything, try tuning for energy efficiency. Casualties happen and EXTREMEHW can not be held accountable if you destroy your hardware while folding. 

 

Thank you for your participation!

Don't think I will make this one. In the process of exchanging folding rig base platform and need to do loop maintenance as it's been over a year. EVGA X99 Classified is getting replaced with an ASUS sWRX8 Sage board and 3945WX for 128 PCI-e 4.0 lanes. I am hoping this will somewhat future proof me for a few years when I transition newer GPU's downstairs to the rig like my 4090 when the 5090 comes out.

Just for that.........  In, but count me out of prizes!   

I can at least get the GTX 960 running.  Probably about all I'll be able to run this go around due to heat and my 7900XTX causing me nothing but headaches atm.  PSU is getting swapped out hopefully this week.

Good man. I have a PSU you can swap in. It'll work great, I promise you.

Perfect........  I'll make sure to daisy chain the 8pins too!

I'll probably just have the 4060s going again this month.

 

I need to toss the 4070 Ti on the test bench this weekend and see if I need to RMA it. My roommate was using it and it started constantly crashing while gaming. Tossed the A770 in and system has been fine.

I bet those RTX 4060s are extremely efficient power sippers

108w on average and 4mil ppd average. 

 

The higher end cards are actually a bit better for folding. The 4070 Ti is only double the power draw but 3x the ppd. 

 

The appeal to the 4060 and 4060ti is that people rip them out of prebuilts and sell them cheap when they upgrade. So you could get a couple of them for less than one of the higher tier cards

wow that's really good. That's about the PPD I get with my 6900XT when tuned to about 125W.

[damric]

BUMP

[Fluxmaven]

Good news is that my 4070 ti seems fine. I went ahead and fired all the 4000 series cards up last night.

 

The 4060s have much more limited tuning. One is in linux so it's just doing its thing. The other in windows I can get down to 89w at just over 3mil... VS the 4070 ti I'm able to run at 128w and still do over 10mil. 

 

Now that the sun is really beating on the side of the house the temp in the office is already climbing. So I'll likely end up pausing everything and only running in the dark of the night.

[SoloCamo]

Running it on my one Nvidia gpu, giving the 6900XT a break this run due to Summer being in full blaster here in FL, good luck everyone

[neurotix]

Great run guys

[firedfly]

@neurotixcongrats on the win this month! 

 

 

[neurotix]

Thank you firedfly!

@NBrock (paperclip)

@guest posting s (beezlebub-django)

 

p.m. me shipping details and I will get these out.

 

And that's the last load of those, so next month we will need some swag from the store or something donated.

 

I did acquire some interesting RGB Ballistix MAX, but I'm not certain anyone wants DDR4 now. They are 4400CL19 version.

[lGazak]

GG everyone!

 

[neurotix]

I'm highly interested in the Ballistix RAM for my mom's box. It's Kaby Lake and currently has 3000MHz G.skill ram of some sort that won't budge on the speed at all.
