Nearly 4 days of running 24/7 and the Mobo, 1080 and what i thought was a dead AX750 from 2022 are all working just fine. I'm not going to mess with it, try the 1070 or 2060 until after the challenge is over. Then i will have a week of testing the various boards, PSU and GPU's that have given...

I've pulled the heatsink off the VRM and while there is no visible damage there is a clear gel substance that has oozed out from somewhere in there and spread itself over the back of the board. Rooting around in the parts pile i have a basically new evga 600w unit for some testing tomorrow to...

Hi Everyone, Since its been a while i just thought i'd let you know whats been going on, why i have been absent and the state of my boxen. So as some of you know I am in the UK, specifically the channel islands which are about 100 miles off the south coast, so theer's always a time difference...

Not yet, its been on blink since the beginning of December but as i work in retail the last thing i was wanting to do in December was fight a stubborn machine. I've just booted it back up and the 1080 is currently running a unit. I'll test it over the next 12-18 hours and see how it goes...

Trying to get my second rig back together, its in a world of hurt. The 1070 is definately dead, and folding with either the 1080 or 2060 only lasts for about 15 minutes before the rig shuts off.

Well congrats to wareyore and thanks to whoever nom'd me.

Nope, i'm more than happy with my 5900x, coming from a Zen 1 TR1920x. My next cpu upgrade will either be a zen 5 x3d or vanilla zen 6 cpu, assuing that zen 6 will work on AM53

I Nom DF454 and Agrikk, both consistent folders. Silent folders at that.

Thanks for the nom, Electric costs just went up again so currently paying 16.8p per Kwh, Xe.com is showing that at around 20 cents a kwh, not sure how that stacks up, unless you are in California where its stupid prices. I stop on occasion - usually when i am on vacation. I also haven't run...

There was an issue a few years back where smaller WU didn't like GPU's with lots of cores. The general theory was if a project was too small to keep all the cores busy it was bouncing around the cores not running as efficently as it could. Not sure if it was ever proven.

I had noticed you pop up on my threat list

Rig 2 won't start, i'll have to trouble shoot it tomorrow as i think its a mobo swapping job

No worries, i will be ready. Just need to rebuild teh second rig and role out a couple of extra toys

I only got my 6800xt last December so not looking to upgrade this time, i need a platform upgrade to take full advantage of my current gpu, let alone a new one.

yes it does
