My linux distribution finally released drivers compatible with the 4070ti Super! I run from 8PM-8AM when temperatures go down so I don't have to deal with the heat in my small space. Moving from 2x2060s brought me from ~4.5M PPD at a combined 290W to ~8.5M PPD at 185W in those 12 hours. Pretty nice to reduce power consumption by over a third and nearly double my output, wasn't expecting that based on the PPD rank database! Wish I could send data samples to it from a headless system.



See you in June, @cbigfoot!

i need to get folding again but not set up right now to do so...
 
good news is my credit card has been charged for my new framework. so should have it next week.

You can report folding stats of a headless from a... nonheadless (headful??) to the database. @Gorgon has a HOWTO written up for v7.x clients:
Things to watch out for: Tunnelling this way will credit any CPU slots as the CPU of the headful, as well as the OS of the headful. GPU performance stats are not affected.
 
v8.x beta clients are natively supported (also in beta) by the database.
 
Also, how are you going to retain the same heating capacity of your home? YOU GOTTA GET ANOTHER SUPER!!

Congrats to you as well then!

I don't usually post too much about fussing around with my PCs, but after moving to a new apartment last year and realizing I needed to downsize my home server, CoffeeBox, I finally finished the project! I'd like to share because I'm really happy with how it came out, and it's where most of my folding gets done.

This was the previous chassis, a Fractal Define 7 XL. It sat in my entryway and was fine in the winter (the cables were managed after this photo was taken to not be a tripping hazard), but in the summer the lack of insulation for the entryway resulted in the hard drives running over max temperature threshold. This resulted in me moving it, and led to the moment during the November folding event where the washing machines shook screws out of it and caused a short.



This box pulls a few different duties -- it runs a media server, a bunch of game servers, a discord bot, my personal website, holds backups, acts as a NAS, and runs compute projects for me. Notably, none of these really require the big box, I only went with it because it gave me lots of slots to throw old GPUs in, which has been proving increasingly expensive as electricity prices around here keep going up. It'd be cheaper in the long run for me to just downsize to a more power efficient solution. Between the need for a smaller box, wanting less power consumption, and recent back-to-back boot drive failures (thank you Samsung for your repeated faulty SSD batches, two dead 970 Pros at less than 10% of their TBW rating)...



CoffeeBox 2.0! Roughly a quarter of the size (23.5% of the volume, or 28% with the drive enclosure), faster, quieter, and more power efficient. I kept the same drives, memory, and CPU (Which had recently been upgraded from an i7-8700k when 13th gen had a brief price crash due to 14th gen releasing), but swapped out basically everything else. The most noteworthy migration was from 2x2060s and 1x1080 to a single 4070 Ti super, which should just about triple GPU compute performance at half the power consumption before tuning! It's still on a UPS, but that now sits further away from the machine.



CPU: Intel i9-13900k (power limited)
GPU: MSI 4070 Ti Super Ventus 3X
Motherboard: ASRock Z790 PG-ITX/TB4
RAM: 64GB G.Skill Trident Z5 DDR5-6000
PSU: Corsair SF750
Cooler: Noctua NH-U12A
Chassis: Cooler Master NR200
Drive Enclosure: Sabrent 10-Bay DS-UCTB
Storage: 7x WD Red Plus 12TB, 1x WD Black 8TB, 2x WD SN850x redundant boot drives

Now I just need to figure out if I'm going to wait a few weeks for my linux distro to release a driver that actually SUPPORTS the 4070 Ti Super, or if I'm going to be impatient and add a repo for it...

Thanks for the Reminder!!!! 4 Years for me now as well!!

I just realized I passed my 4y anniversary about a week and a half ago! Four years straight of knowing you halfwits with maybe a week total of no WU completed? Nice to work with y'alls!

Woo Hoo - Top 50!

It took a while, but my F@H box is finally operational again!
 
Tally of stuff i had to replace:
- CPU (7742 died, currently back using the 7552)
- Motherboard (asrock ROMED8-2T to replace the Supermicro H11SSL-i)
- RAM (128GB DDR4 3200 to replace 256GB DDR4 3200 that died)
- Lots of new fittings
- Lots of new tube
- New 4070Ti waterblock (managed to save 1, the other is dead)
- New radiator since the old one was impossible to clean
Final cost, well over 1800 euros!
 
If anything, i think i learned my lesson using loop cleaning fluids. I'm still waiting on delivery of the second 4070Ti waterblock which is why only 2 GPUs are in the picture now.
 
 
 

Getting pretty close now!

 
All that's left is the fittings... All 53 of them individually. Not looking forward to this.

It's well known the computer gods require a blood sacrifice
 
 

Here is a demonstration of the effect of binning on efficiency.
 
 The 4070 Ti Super and 4080 Super are both based on the AD103 die. The 4070 ti super at the bottom of the stack and the 4080 Super at the top. Both working on p18220 we see Yields of 14.5 vs. 17.2MPPD:

 
So here's the kicker:

 
The 4080 Super is drawing less power while running at a lower clock speed and is still out-performing the 4070 ti Super.

*back from vacation, meme showcase*
 

Anyone in for some hardware gore?
 
Guess alphacool loop cleaner and a semi-copper radiator don't mix all too well.
