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.

I am so stupid.  THIS is the event we use postbits for.  Sigh.  I'll distribute the post bits after THIS foldathon lol.  Idk why, but I thought the week long one was this one.  

I will NOT be "in" on this one.  Too much going on right now in personal life (illness, family emergencies, and a move going on).  If it was after the move, I'd totally be in though.

I will however, get those postbits done up and handed out for this foldathon!

Am in will try to run all my 3 potato gpu this time.  I think I can do x8 5.0 x8 4.0 and x1 3.0 should be fine with the 1200w

Also - please excuse my absentmindedness lately (IE:  Me getting the postbit thing wrong).  We've got illness going through the house right now, I've got a family emergency going on with elderly family members, and on top of all that...........I'm trying to rennovate a house I bought for cheap, and move.......PLUS we're going to be moving the website.  My mind is VERY scattered right now.

Sounds a lot like what I'm dealing with, lol.

 

Michele and I got sick last month with the flu or something nasty, and it lasted about a week. On top of that Michele had major neck surgery.

 

Then last week I got sick again with something nasty but different because this one had a sore throat and hacking cough that wouldn't let me sleep. That lasted about 5 or so days then went away just in time for my back to seize up (I blame these weather spikes).

 

Finally getting over that, and now I have contractors working on some projects in the yard. The problem is these contractors turned out to be incompetent imbeciles.

 

And now Michele is sick with the hacking cough thing I had last week.

 

I just want to get some sleep.
