    kick26 reacted to GoodBytes in why is my EFI partition on a different drive?   
    If you format the drive yes. If you don't, it will take everything and dump it on a folder called "Windows.old". All apps, drivers need to be reinstalled regardless. 
     
    As it is VERY easy to wipe a drive in Windows setup, and the fact that any power loss or bad luck can lead of data loss, data backup on an external drive is HIGHLY recommended. Don't risk it.

    I just crossed the 100 WU mark.  I left my Dell T3500 with a six core Xeon X5670 at  2.93GHz running last weekend while I left town for a funeral and it did modestly well.  On Thursday, I booted up my dual socket Tyan S7012 server mobo with two 6 core Xeon X5675 which I bought for really cheap on eBay. Mobo plus both cpus cost less than the 4GB x 18 ECC DDR3 memory (Yes, I know that much RAM is overkill, its for later use as a storage server. Folding@Home is only using 3GB). Hell, the Noctua coolers I put on the cpus cost more than what I paid for mobo and cpus.  I'm not doing any gpu folding as the server board does not have a discreet gpu and the Dell is running a GTX 670.  With the dual socket board, things have picked up pace nicely.  The weather has gotten colder here in Minnesota so my folding machines have been a nice space heater for my apartment in which the radiators haven't been turned on yet.  Thanks to the Noctua coolers, the X5675s have only briefly risen above 60ºC.

    I have a X5670 in one system and dual X5675s in another. I'm curious what my power bill will be like this month.

    Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo @kick26 I am happy to see you are a man of culture ?
     
    I think I got those same coolers (and I have a pair of X5675s), but due to having an SR-2 my board is defo more expensive than the cooler set lol. Need to get it set up sometime soonish, maybe I'll pull it out sometime this week and get it up and running. I could push an OC on the Xeons as well for some extra PPD. 

    I just rebuilt my folding rig (thus my place is more of a mess than it was before) and my main rig is sitting on my counter (needs some fittings and stuff moved around) though so we'll see if I get around to it. 

    Also should try CPU folding on the CPU I have in the F@H rig right now, but IDK how it'd do. It's an E5-4610v3, 10c/20t but locked to 1.7Ghz max. May give me a slight boost in PPD so worth a shot?

    Devices will only take what they need.
     
    Amps is not the problem. Voltage is. :3
     
    Unless the device is asking for more amps than the charger can provide. Then you have a problem.

    The 950 Pro tends to thermal throttle if it gets pushed had for an extended period of time so it's not a bad idea to put a heatsink like the one from Alphacool to keep it coll and lowering performance.
