I have not damaged connectors any on my 4090 & they are OC
 
I do strap/ ziplock the PCIe cables to make sure there is not any stress on that 12VHPWR
 
FYI, they are monsters @ getting points, more than double 3080Ti & 3090Ti ppd

Like CoolGTX said the 4000 series are great folders. I have been folding on a Gigabyte 4080 24/7 with no issues. My first non-EVGA GPU in a long while. I average about 10 Million PPD. The supers should perform a bit better, and might even be lower in price.....hopefully. .

4090 are 20 M ppd or better, depends on WU & you need a good pc

Thanks Opolis. I remember the days of running an SR2 with quad 580 sli's pulling high amperage with no consequence lol.

Another good tip. Thanks SmookinJoe 

Thanks gang. I ended up with a 4090 tuf.
I'll see if I can put the new rig together this weekend following all your expert 4090 advice of course
Any advice for a bleeding wallet lol

BTW this is my first card I purchased not from EVGA. If EVGA was still selling cards and it was only Intel Arc cards I would have bought that instead lol.
 

Depending on the WU..
My 4090's average 20m+ppd at 380Watts
(16mppd-28mpd)
23m ppd average
cpu crunching adds another 100+watts
Oh..
another thing
The newer power supplies have a direct cable connection to the 4090's
Eliminating the 4 into one that comes with the gpu..
I am not going to use the direct connection from the power supply because it will put unnecessary wear on the socket in the gpu, if you ever want to re and re the gpu.
 

bill1024Anyone folding with a 4070 70Ti or super even a 4060, ti or super. What speed is your GPU running at?
2.8ghz sound about right or should it be more, less?

 
Each card will be different as to where it can fold consistently at.  Some cards can only do stock speeds, others might go +50Mhz or even +100Mhz on the boost clock.  With my 4070 Ti currently at 2790Mhz boost (+50MHz on MSI Gaming X trio 4070 Ti - fans at 100%), I'm working a 18218 work unit (just started up) at about 38 - 39 seconds per frame - that works out to around 13.5Mppd, if it stays stable...  current temp fluctuating between 59C & 61C, so temperature won't be an issue.
 

Mayday mayday...
 
Finally got my new rig up and running. Asrock Z690 Aqua, 13700k, 4090 TUF OC, Win 11 64 bit Pro.
 
Fired up FAH. Set all the normal settings Plus added the flags below.
 
Added the flags:  
Name client-type
Value advanced
 
FAH Cause Preference set to High Priority. Folding power at Full. 
Darn I must be doing something wrong. All I am getting is 18219 WU's at an average of 2.2 mil ppd. 
All Temps good. 
 
Any suggestions my OG brothers lol.
 
Stand down Boys. Chuck it up for FAH for dummies. I went back to check and yup kick me in the nutz, I noticed no bonus.
I forgot to save the passkey. I looked at it before and it said "valid entries match". Just triple checked it and noticed the entries were blank.
I fixed it and an now getting 24 mil ppd at 330 watts. I may try undervolting.
 
I'll will still submit this post just for learning purposes and maybe some may get a laugh out of it. Like my daddy said "Even monkeys fall out of trees" haha.

I fixed it and an now getting 24 mil ppd at 330 watts. I may try undervolting.

Is that 330 Watts total system power? or just GPU power?
 
My system power is running about 352W at the wall per Kill-A-Watt meter, thanks in large part to my power hungry 13900KS.  According to HWmonPro, my GPU peak power is 258.24W on my 4070 Ti with a +50Mhz overclock which boosts both my ppd and oddly enough my ppd per Watt, 56,929ppd/W??? 
 
Yep, set card back to stock speed, and peak GPU power actually went up to 259.0W  reducing GPU ppd/W to 56,762 - actually probably a bit more than that since ppd will also drop slightly at stock speed.  Hasn't affected card cooling either, GPU temp still peaking at 63C at stock speed, so not seeing any down-side with the overclock so far.  Gonna try +75Mhz now.

Total system power is 500 watts at the wall per kill-a-watt meter. CPU at idle. 

 
Forgot to mention, my CPU is downclocked to 3.6Ghz all cores with a 100W power limit through Gigabyte Control Center.  I only let it run free when I'm video editing!
 
At +75MHz overclock, peak GPU power only went up to 159.67W, less than 1W increase, but temp hit a new high of 66C, and advanced control indicates about 100k - 200k ppd increase (less than 1.5%) which is basically margin of error...
 
I'm going to try & keep it going till I hit 500M points, but outside temps may get to hot before I reach that milestone.
