lol I was hoping you would send one with the sides on... so those not in the know would be wondering how you were folding on an old HP

Sorry I took the sides off for the competition so it would cool better

Expand  

don't blame you... better than what I did to my case.... carve on it.

 

@Avacado I'm trying to help him out here a bit... but on my wife's old PC I'm having the same trouble with her radeon 6850HD as you are with the Tesla M40's... wierd part... it's the active gpu so I know it's working... any ideas, let me know... maybe too old?

I want to jump through the screen and help you and hug you at the same time. Please tell me you live in North Carolina, I have a few spare cases you can have!

I sadly don't know much about the AMD side of GPU's (Have never owned one). Most likely is pretty old.  It does have OpenCL 1.2, so it should technically fold.

I must admit... I'm hoping he wins the case up for grabs... may the gods have mercy on his hardware.

Seeing as how it's random, if I win it, I'll gladly switch.  Last thing I need is a 7th case.

I don’t I’m sorry but I appreciate it, this spawned out of me wanting a new case and a random burst of creativity plus a little help from @Minotaurtoo

lol you'd have a hard time with cable management in that case if you were an expert with 100 years experience... I think you did well for what you were trying to work with there

yay, moving on up... wish I had some more hardware to throw at it.... 

This guy... millions of points a day and comes in all "I have some spare hardware"  meanwhile, I'm installing folding at home on my tv remotes and my wii U hoping for a little help lol... wondering if this gaming keyboard can help... it has RGB so that means it's fast right???:wheee_orange:

Expand  

Make sure to set it at blue, that'll help with cooling all the hardware. :classic_laugh:

But on a serious note, every piece of hardware matters! It might sound like a luxury problem (it actually is lol), but I have too many GPU's for the systems I have.

Don't let him fool you. He's sandbagging about 1 - 1.2 million extra PPD per update. By extra hardware, he means his 2nd 3090. 

 

What He and I are truly after is that sweet, sweet 5 million point update. #AmiRight?

Expand  

That's a bit more than one 3090 can do, they are at 6.4 mil now with the 13440 units so that would be 800k per update.
Now there is still a system with a 1080ti in it, which is not mine but if I ask it nicely it'll run if it's not in use. 
And on the shelf are a 5700xt and a 1650 super. Those 2 combined should be good for at least 2 million points, but I ran out of motherboards and CPU's :classic_sad:

Random hardware pic of the day.  2 Ubuntu rigs running BOINC and/or F@H

 

No 30xx GPUs in sight......

Expand  

I always like to see what everyone is running, how are the temps without any fans moving the hot air away?

@Bastiaan_NL The rigs are setup in my basement with an ambient of around 64F this time of year.  Temps are rarely above 70c at 75%fan on all GPUs.  Its hard to see in the pic but each rig has a single Silverstone AP181 pushing fresh air to the GPUs from the wall.  I tried different positions and that provided the best temps.  Without them temps jump another 4-8C.

I'd be willing to pay international shipping to find those poor, sad, un-loved and neglected cards a decent home. 

 

We can negotiate a CPU/GPU swap

 

You know I have a 9900k, 8700k and a 1900x not in use :)

Blue it is then! also set blink at fastest pace so it's overclocked:wheee_orange:

@Imports_R32 I set your mom's HTPC to your username... I think I'll get enough WU's without it for now... will help you catch up a bit.

That's not bad, I didn't notice the fans at first glance. 
I added a CoolerMaster 20cm fan as exhaust to the side of a system that had some trouble keeping the temps reasonable, it dropped 14°C on the top card.
The bottom card is pulling around 450watt, so no wonder the top card gets hot with that much heat at it's intake side.

Now don't say I don't love them and neglect them, they are actually standing in my direct view! 
I just gave them some time to rest after all the hard work they've done. If I can find some used hardware close I'll try to get the 5700xt online. 
And I know what you would do with the 5700xt, it's really efficient for something we are not going to mention here :classic_rolleyes:

Thanks for the offer though. It would have been way more convenient if I would have lived in the states, but that's just how it is.

Make sure the frequency is the same as your bclk, you don't want them to interfere!

 

 

[edit]

@Avacado won the race to 30 million... Congrats, next one is mine! :cheers:

Hey, hey, hey. All of my folders with the exception of the M40's are loved immensely and showered with coolant admiration daily. It's not my fault you're a bad GPU parent and let those poor, darling GPU's operate in your sweatshop.

You say I'm a bad parent, but my cards are all working... Can't say that about your setup!

But enough thrash talking for now, let's see who's the first to cross the 40mil mark ;)

You could do that, but make sure to use watercooling on the RGB controller ?

Take care and enjoy your day :)
