Well I finally made it to 100K. Personal goal of mine the last couple months and it actually feels like a bit of an accomplishment with PPD being so high on GPU's these days. Not holding a candle to the legendary beekeeper (who's still active...
At least here in Maine it's not hot yet outside, so I can open up the windows, stick a box fan in the window, and keep the place perfectly comfortable that way. Definitely going to be running at reduced strength for the summer contests though.
I hear you. I shut down and 8 thread Optiplex and fired up a 32 thread Precision server just recently with a GTX980 in it. My bedroom was already hot but adding that swap to the mix at the same time that the temps went up about 15 degrees...

I third! (y)
Understandable, I'm not ready for summer to start and need to be reminded of the cooler weather in December to continue to fold! ☃️
Heh, I was thinking that 500 million points away might take some time like in the old days, but at...
Not sure if it's a problem with the 1660 Super or what but PPD seems way down on these WU's. Getting less than half what I was usually getting at only ~400K-ish PPD . Been considering a 4060 for power draw/performance reasons for the farm but...
Yes although for some reason the OC thats been rock solid on the old 3770K system since day 1 has become unstable as well as the XMP 2133 RAM speed. Set it all to defaults for now as I recover a drive that was accidentally initialized and...
