What stops you from folding more?

Most of my issues with increasing my folding is the cost of another PC/GPU.   I may be able to fit another GPU into my main folding rig but its a repurposed gaming machine and not really good for a multi gpu setup.   I rearranged my home office so I can fold on both PC's now but I'm only running a 3070 Light Hash Rate and a 3070 TI.   I can pull about 10 million PPD total but want to increase that if it was cost effective.

I would fold more but electricity cost is crazy these days, the breaker for my office cannot handle any more load, and I don't have central air HVAC.
Another issue is balancing time running GPU crunching projects with FAH.
 
For some reason I can see the poll results but can't vote.

RE: not able to Vote
 
Do you see 3 buttons at the bottom of the list? "cast vote", "see results" & "view voters"  OR --> just the "back" button?

I think the issue is on EVGA's server side, as Voting is set to not expire, members only (must log into their EVGA account). 

However, I just added re-vote allowed after 2 min to see if that helps with the issue - though I believe that only allows members to edit/ change their vote/ not sure what exactly it allows.

For whatever reason when I looked today I was able to vote.  I was logged in before...cleared my browser cache, not sure what the issue was.

Going all out right now to get us over the hump to the 1 Trillion but the 1080ti and 2080ti are going to take a break after. Too warm and electricity is pretty expensive.

Also been playing with some efficient CPU folding setups. Zen 4 looks like it pulls pretty good numbers based on charts and I was able to eBay snipe some parts to give it a go.

At home 43.93 cents per kilowatt-hour is my biggest draw back so to compromise with the lady its weekend
and maybe overnights on weekdays if I play nice. 
 
At work my problem is the data chews threw my hot spot. The second is it only has a 1080 gpu.

dang almost $0.44 / KWH
 
Guess I'm lucky my "winter electric rate" is only an effective cost (total bill/KWH consumed) of $0.123/KWH

In CA peak hours for me are $0.60/KWH and off peak is $0.24

I do love being supplied electric by an Electric Co-Op & Not being forced to be supplied by a for Profit Corporation or a city owned distribution grid that also is pulling profits from the electric customers to subsidize the city's budget/ tax revenue
