Well, the 2060 with do just fine! Welcome aboard mate!

Wonder how single board 5 aircooled GPUs setup should look nowadays for not frying any of cards with their dissipated heat. Something like caseless horizontal big open frame, with cards at PCIe x16 > 2x PCIe x8 risers, positioned safely above motherboard, with 3 fans of each GPU looking down and ba...

Welcome to F@H! As others stated before my, that CPU could run at best 4 GPUS, but don't even think of moving the mouse after F@h starts chugging along. As for the risers, the x1 bandwidth is faaaar from enough for F@h. Given that your cards are new and powerful, PCIe 3.0 x8 is a must. That 3080 cou...

Given the multitude of questions you stated above, i would guess you are not tech savvy. If that's the case, before pulling the trigger on any purchase you should consider any other uses you will/could gave for your pc, say gaming/rendering,etc. That factor should influence your decision. An RX 580 ...

I've not seen an RTX 3000 series card for sale new from a UK retailer at all (OK, I don't check every day). Only cards I have seen are on eBay, probably burned out from crypto, and often at least double the RRP. Even the new cards on ebay I'm skeptical about, if the big retailers can only get enoug...

PoS in Ether got pushed back to late 2022, so no luck on that front. As for a crypto market crash, if and when it happens, the GPU prices will lag some months behind, before the price normalises to below MSRP for used parts.

Still nothing?

15°C is indeed a big delta. What are you basing this on? That is a sort of delta that you can expect from normal gaming use, right? No, it certainly is not. Any delta above 10~12°C on a CPU and a GPU [ say hottest and coldest core on a CPU/ GPU temp and Junction Temp] should lead one to recheck mou...

That means you are back up and running at normal speeds?

15°C is indeed a big delta.

Given that electronics apart from high operating temperatures also dislike developing Deltas in temperatures during operation, one could argue that having the next WU ready to go before the current one ends, would allow the GPU to remain at a constant temp and thus prolong its lifespan. Personally, ...

What is up with all this hostility and rudeness towards people that want to combine folding with cryptos? I get that you can't/do not want to answer questions specific to each individual coin, but the fact that their efforts would contribute to science must be eluding you,no? I fold to cure and/or t...

I stand corrected then

Edit: That number is a sum total, correct? All users that have ever folded, active and inactive at this time?

What i think he is trying to say is that he not only wants to know his rank, say #15,245, but also his relative position, so for example #15,245 out of 3,000,000 users - You are at x% compared to all other folders. If there are 3Million users the rank 15K is pretty high. If the number of users is 30...

Given that it is an X99 chipset, i wager that the cards run at x8/x8/x8 with the 4th pcie slot(if there is one on the motherboard disabled). Anyhow, no matter the underlying hardware used, the problem is the sudden drop in performance, compared to earlier runs. Checking the log I saw that a WU accou...
