FS: MSI GL75 Leopard 17.3" Gaming Laptop
Lightly used for 8 months, excellent condition. Breaks my heart to part with it but going to work in the Bahamas next week for 6 - 8 months and need the cash for several covid tests, plane tickets, luggage, etc.
Very fast laptop. Only game I really...
F/S I have 16,000 American Airlines Advantage miles for sale. Looking for $150.
15,000 miles will get you anywhere in the continental US. Just searched a flight from Miami to Las Vegas....only 10,000 miles or $266
I do have heatware
I've owned mostly Evga cards for the last decade. My 1060ti oc stayed at good temps but the fans were a bit loud. This new card is literally silent and it's case less. The mobo is sitting on top of it's box
Got mine this week finally. Liking it so far not too flashy, black theme, and the bios is great. Combo deal with 1600x and 16gb gskill 3200 blinky ram for $330
Edit: mine had no seal either, unlike my 1660ti that had a seal and was an obvious open box that was sold as new
The Rog strix b450f is listed as a lower end board but it's pretty solid. Just built a new rig this week and got it as a combo from Newegg with a 2600x and 16gb gskill 3200 ram for $330 (like getting upgraded to the 2600x for $50 for free). Haven't had a PC in 18 months and 1st AMD since my dual...
This is the one I just got. Very impressed so far. Specs say 1860mhz boost clock but I've seen it hit 1935 and 1950. Nice and quiet, highest temp so far is 65c and the fans literally blowing cool air out the ends.
And it plays minesweeper at 4k with software ray tracing enabled @ 1500fps
Was there any issues installing the kaby lake cpu? Some of the other boards require having a skylake installed before you can flash the bios to support kaby
Quake 1 & 3 are a couple of my all time favorites. Back in the good ol days of 56k dial up, fighting online with guys who just got 512k cable modem. Bought a 3dfx voodoo just for quake 1. Times have changed a little since then
Got it setup this morning, and after some issues with it not folding at all I'm at about 180k ppd with just the vid card. It's actually a 290 unlocked to a 290x running @ 1000/1250 so I'm pretty stoked. On project 9101 its 2:14 tpf while my 660ti is at 4:11 tpf, so almost twice as fast :)
With any luck I'll be setting up a 290x to the folding machine today. I was wondering if there's any updated pod info out there. Early on it varied from 115k - 180k per day, then abysmaly lower like 60k. Any one else folding with these have any guesstimates?
I switched to driver 326.80 about 10 days ago and what a difference, almost double ppd.
To be clear on the cpu threads to use, I don't have hyperthreading so make that 2? And do I only change the cpu threads in the cpu slot, not the gpu slot...since the options are available in both?
I've started folding again and would like to know what settings I should use to get the most out of my gpu. I've read that the new gpu client likes to dedicate 1 cpu core....should I leave the client setting at -1 or is there something better.
Running a 2500k @ 4.2ghz and a 660ti at the moment
Mac's are still the same price.
I paid ~$100 for 64KB (kilobyte) ram in 85-86. Even had to de-solder the old 8 chips out and solder the new ones in plus a couple jumper wires. I think the worst was paying $100 for 16KB ram expansion box for my Timex Sinclair 1000
He likes it and....I'd squash your nuts if you had any if you tried that. :cool:
7 hrs is enough time I believe....stil trying to see if anyone on the west coast has the same issue. Yes I've restarted a million times, everything was fine yesterday, 8gb ram, backed the oc down to stock...
Then maybe you need some Marx-o-blastic.
Seriously though.....every other game works 100%...HL2, CS:S, Gmod,etc,etc....
Call it what you will but the system sucks....pretty soon you'll be forced to have health insurance AND internet :|
4 !/2 hrs and counting. Maybe I should've been more clear...check your $hit n see if u can log in. But it's still ridiculous to have to be tied to the internet to play anything you buy...it's a busted system and resembles Socialist monitoring
Whether it's a great game or not....meh...I play...
