Thanks bill. I like that 24 hour one, no time for bunkers. Looks like we're going to have a healthy ice storm over the next 48-72 hours.

Colder weather means more efficient folding. I wished the weather would dip below 40F here in winter. I would bring out all the GPUs.

Same concept. You do know that FAH was birthed from Boinc, no? (gromacs).

Either way where I live an ice storm is a bit more serious than cold weather. When wide scale power outages are part of the forecast, it’s time to shut down for me. My portable generator doesn’t cover the computer outlets. The storm turned out to be a bit of a dud in relation to the forecast so I upgraded one of my Win7 machines (a problem child) to Win10 and ran some fah as part of tweaking it. It runs good but still not a fan of 10.

Indeed, my Mom was in Kentucky years back in a really bad ice storm and afterwards it looked like a nuke went off even months later. Not a Joking Matter.

I have a ups specially for small outages.
It protects from lighting strikes, and outages of less than 1 minute.
That's how much my system drains my 900W (1500VA UPS).
many online said that those cheap 1500VA UPSes are only 800VA, and essentially are only good enough for 500W devices.
So I bought a second one of those, for my second PC. Each running 500-600W.
Even then they only keep my PCs running for up to 1 minute.

You need to step up your UPS game
For multi-GPU setups I use these:
CyberPower PR1500LCDRTXL2U Smart App Sinewave UPS Series 1500 VA / 1500 W
CyberPower PR1500LCDRT2U Smart App Sinewave UPS System, 1500VA/1350W
Nice! Is 4,5x what I paid for mine! Considering it's just enough for me to realize when the breaker trips, to run downstairs and turn it on again, I don't think I'd pay $1100 more. If anything trips the breaker when I'm not home, even expensive UPS systems won't help there...

This is NEW "Ships from and sold by EVGA Corporation Inc." over on Amazon
Information has been up for a bit
Introducing the EVGA SR-3 DARK - An Elegant Motherboard For A More Civilized Age
$3K for the top gun CPU ... if you can even find one
It was more about Amazon having this "Ships from and sold by EVGA Corporation Inc." on their website, I have never seen this before on EVGA Products being sold on Amazon. bill1024
2,000 for just a MB, think I'll sit this one out.
But yes the Cost is a $1000 More than what I would pay for a Motherboard. I would have gotten one if it was $999.99 and no more. I did pay $960 for my last Server Class Motherboard.

I bought mine on sale for under $500 if I remember correctly. I've got a few Rigs that go over 1000W and those that don't pull that much have nice long battery power .... which I have needed from time to time

Also keep in mind the prices keep getting lowered as time goes on.
But sooner or later it hits a price where they seem to go off the shelf and then out of stock.
Good things come to those who wait. But not to those who wait too late.
I bought a HP color laserjet wifi printer/scanner for around 75$ to my door a while back, Works great, full warranty.
Was tired of the inkjet ink scam. They use ink even when not being used to keep the heads from drying out.
Ink refills cost near as much as the printer. Thing is we do not print a lot in our house, so this laserjet should last years.

I started bird watching this past year and put out a feeder to attract some birds to the yard. So far so good, lots of different kinds have come around, 4 kinds of woodpeckers. gold finches, doves, chickadees, and a couple dozen cardinals. Was hoping to attract a cardinal or two was not expecting so many. Two couples and a whole bunch of their young ones. Seen a bunch flying/feeding around then poof, they scattered, a good sized Cooper's hawk landed in the tree near by. Couple days later I go out to the back porch and hear some noises in the leaves under the bushes. Don't see anything. Thinking it is a squirrel, bit it moved again, it was the Cooper's hiding under the row of bushes waiting for some lunch to fly in. Very sneaky lol. It jumped up to a higher branch where I could get a really good close up look, beautiful bird for sure. Stock internet photo, did not have my camera or phone on me at the time.

that Cooper's Hawk is interesting
I keep the bird feeds full all year = Cat TV
Plenty of those same common birds you see ... and a few more varieties
Enjoy the occasional Osprey, Bald Eagle, Hawk (no idea what kind, kind of big)
Plenty of Ducks, Geese, Heron & on rarer occasions Swans in the pond
a Red Fox comes around every few weeks
& too many squirrels though the Hawk is helping reduce the population

I finally put the water block on the Radeon VII GPU Also dropped in an e5-1660 V3 (i7-5960x) octocore in the x99 Classified.
Got it all plumbed in and running. The GPU sure does like to be on water, 41c core temp and 63c hot spot temp.
1025mv, 1817mhz, 186watts memory i@ 800, must downclock on heavy DP loads, it's set for 1000 and I have seen it at 1000 folding.
Will see if I can get the GPU V down some more, comes stock at 1100mv or so.
Running Milkyway five tasks at a time, 48-52 sec - so that comes out to be 10-11 seconds per task.
The CPU is running at 4.3ghz, 2.15v, 62c crunching universe HT on, 14 threads and tasks, left 2 threads for the GPU. 74f room.
Memory is G-skill ripjaws 4x4gb quad channel 2667mhz 15-16-16-38-1T
Just rough settings for now, going to fine-tune and do some more tweaking. Will let is run a day as is to make sure it is stable.

Everyone says " Push/pull fans on a radiator work best. So I set one up as push and one as pull and the temps are the same. Go figure.

What if instead you put 4 fans? (2 push, 2 pull)?
