This MB

Great news Jini. Sounds like it's been an epic mission.
Have you got a date for moving back in? Hope it goes well.
Glad to hear you've still got the folding bug.

My house has basically been rebuilt from the ground up. After i was flooded with 15' of water during harvey. It's taken way longer than I expected. I've been in a RV for over a year now. We are kinda on the last mile now.
 
New roof, major replacement of most of the outer walls due to previous very major termite damage from the previous owners neglect. 100% new electric, A/C, plumbing, new driveway and carport. Added 650 sqft to the house with a 400 sqft family room and a 250 sqft air conditioned and heated room for my outdoor dogs to be kenneled in. House is fully wired for cable and internet (did it myself so i know its correct).

We are down to needing the electric sockets and ceiling lights installed. a couple closet doors and all the trim. my cabinets are being hand crafted for me and should be done week after next. by then the last thing will be cabinet granite and  sinks. 
 
I still give my self a month out before going back in. After everything construction is done then its furniture and all the decorative things like shades and curtains ETC.  


 You never really realize how much crap you have in every day life till you have to recover from losing everything.

 I am playing around today stress testing the 1080 FTW that was in the flood. I literally had to take a dremel with a wire brush to clean all the contacts on the board cause between the rust and solder joint corrosion there were literally 100's of potential shorts on the board. 
 
After I finished giving it a good scrub down and alcohol bath, I was able to get it fired back up but I had no paste on it so i didn't stress it at all just seen if it worked. 
 
I have an alienware laptop i been using for a PC the past year with a 1070m video card. After i got the 1080 running i got a dell video enhancer that allows me to use the 1080 as an external card for it. Grant it its only 4 channel PCIE  but I figured if it fries the hardware in a 200 dollar external box it's better than frying a desktop.
 
Well I have it folding on the laptop as my stress test. GPU temp is hovering around 68-70c with a PPD of the card of 775781. Does not sound bad for 4 channel PCIE to me but it seems like ages since I folded last and not sure what it should fold at.
 
I was going to put it in the new PC and let the 2 1080's fold together over the weekend.. unfortunately my contractors shattered my only monitor, a 32" samsung......  now i have to to wait so they don't destroy another.

I am using the latest driver. Obviously I will not be doing any steady folding on my laptop so i was not looking for the best PPD, especially since I am running the card on PCIE 3 x4 and not x16 I will take a big performance hit from that alone. From what I read it's like a 20% hit when running from a alienware graphics amplifier.

The GTX 1070m was folding at around 680,000 PPD yesterday. Just way too much heat radiating off the laptop with the internal GPU cooking.

This is the story of, I am sure glad I know PCs.

As I posted above I purchased that PC from a collage kid. I had assumed since it looked so nicely done that he knew what he was doing. Boy o Boy was I wrong.

I decided last weekend just to bench things out to see how things where running. I first installed [link=mailto:folding@home]folding@home[/link] just to give it a long test on the box. Almost immediately the CPU temps hit 100c at stock clocks. I quickly killed the cpu folding.  The GPU folding was running at less PPD than the 1080 FTW I had ran on my 4 channel laptop extender. The temps where fine just it didn't seem right to me.
 
Well the builder never put in drains for the cooling loops and the liquid and tubes looked like they needed to be all cleaned out. I decided, well lets tear it down and take a good look at whats going on.
 
I drained all the loops and started pulling things apart. The CPU compound looked like the attached picture. The heat spreader pads under the monoplate where in the wrong places and he left the tape on the out side of it. Additionally he must of loosened the screws on the top of the monoblock and it started to leak so he epoxied it closed and got epoxie where it should not be, like on top of the heat spreaders.
 
The GPU was running off of a single GPU cable, one that has 4 and 3 pin on a single cable. he did not bring me any of the spare cables so I had to buy a new PSU (because i got a evga 1000w g2 for the same price as additional cabled for a G1.
 
 
I delided the CPU adding thermal grizzly liquid metal got a new mono block and some new water cooling fixtures, Drain elbows compression fittings etc.
I totally rebuilt the CPU loop this weekend and basically just used the on-board GPU for graphic till the power supply comes in today. Then the 2080 TI FTW will go in once i have the cables to support it.
 
The results of the fixes to the CPU loop. 4900mhz automatic overclock (I will do manual when I am actually living in the house) temps at full load 50c-53c  Idol temps 27c-30c.
Ambient temps around 24c.
 
Today i should get the powersupply and get the 2080 ti in, still waiting on the waterblock to get released by evga till then it will be stock cooler.
 
It has been so enjoyable to get my mind off of all the BS in my life to do something I totally enjoy. 
 
 
 

It sucks you had to check it all out. Lucky you did! The CPU paste looks quite odd, it has the outward line where the TIM was.. I'm glad you got it sorted Jini, nice result. I'm sure you probably already know CPU folding is not worth it. Nothing wrong with testing though. You may want to try some of the Mayhems cleaning products for your loop sometime, I haven't used them. I usually just run distilled water in mine. Were you able to add a drain to your system? Should be part of every loop. Keep in touch with us when possible. 

Ohh yea I added a drain to the cpu loop in the back at the lowest part of the loop. The GPU loops been pulled out till I get a hydocopper.

When I cleaned the loop I completely took the loop apart. Since I was swapping the mono plate anyway. I changed the way the loop runs too replacing most of the loop with new tubing and new fittings. He had all bends in the original loop and it was a pain in the tuckus to do anything

Just catching up on some stuff, sorry you went through that jinihammerer it must have been horrible.

Nice Scores

Nice Catch as well

I was seeing problems with Driver 416.34 and went back to 416.16
I was setting the memory to + 1000 GPU + 175 Max Voltage Max GPU Power and Temp
And Fans to 90%
 
Using two Power Cables to the GPU?
What PSU are you running?

Just for the fun of it today I used only one PCIe Cable and each time my computer would crash.
I am running One PG (PPS-Mega (LLR) v8.01) 4MT LLR (HT Off) Task and a GPU Task (Genefer 18 v3.19 (OCLcudaGFN18).
Together my UPS Unit is showing 710 Watts, it goes between 702 and 714 Watts So us Crunchers really do need a good PSU. 

One of the items I like best is betting my old scores as well, it is all part of the fun.
So today I am running the as above with PG but only on the CPU and Folding on the GPU @2070MHz 43C @ 888-692 Watts
The Hydro Copper Water Blocks are Supper Nice Looking and Great Performance IMO. 

I Gave AMD a go with the RYZEN 7 1800X but no more for me.
Having to set on offset of -20C on the CPU is just nuts IMO.
Also MSI support is well not their when it comes to Bios Updates.
Don't get me wrong the GTX 1080 Ti in it Folds Just Fine.

Not only that but also the Overclocking of the Graphics Memory as well, this give a Higher Graphics Score not an Overall Score.
The More Cores and or Thread the CPU has also makes a Big Difference on Time Spy *DX12 Benchmark.
