Thanks for the input Minibois. That said the cards I'm aiming for lose all resell value because they are mining specific with no video output and locked drivers. That said the 2060 seems like the 'normal' best deal for PPD/EUR BTW, has anyone even tried folding on these GPUs? Plus, I'm worried the GPUs in question won't be very silent depending on the airflow I put on them... (the server would be under my desk at home)

Wow thanks for the info, I didn't have the points per card scale. That said my 1060 6Gb gets more around 510kPPD. Less then 50€ per GTX1060 6Gb or at least 250€ for a 1660ti, my choice is unfortunately done...

I've been folding on my main PC for a week with +400 on the memory and nothing has changed. I mainly fold with my PC at work so I don't pay for electricity ^^ (don't tell my boss). The work PC's GPU is a Quadro 2000 with 5Gb of VRAM and it gives me about 150k-ish per night.

True the resell value of mining specific GPUs is very low... But I don't want this project to cost a lot in the first place and/or end up with 3 different types of cards.

Going watercooling would only be to make everything more silent. I don't really like overclocking GPUs that much. I had overclocked my 1060's memory quite high in crypto mining applications thanks to its Samsung memory (+950MHz on the memory with no error!)

Thanks for the input Yaboistar. But as I've said, I'm trying to be on a budget and I don't know if there are any Turing GPU models that are meant only for mining (like the 1060 model I refered to).

Hi, I have the same issue with a more modern system (8600k and GTX 1060). It's annoying as all hell...

Hello everyone! I've been folding on and off with different computers over the years and now that I have settled in an appartment, I'd like to make a dedicated folding server. The hardware I plan on using (mainly because I already have it): CPU: Xeon E5-2660 8c/16t 2.2GHz Cooler: Noctua C14 or U12S Motherboard: Asus P7x79 WS Ram: 4x4Gb 1600MHz for a total of 16Gb PSU: I found a great deal on a 1000W Corsair PSU on ebay A random SATA 120Gb SSD for Windows or Linux. What I need help for is the GPUs... Just like many people I'm not the richest and would like to do this on a budget kinda. Following Linus' video where he uses a mining specific card with no video output, I'd like to see if I could use these to fold. I've found a good deal where I could get some GTX 1060-6Gb models for less then 50€ each. I still have to RTFM for the motherboard to know how many GPUs it can support at once. As for case, the PSU is bundled with a rack for crypto-mining, so no worries there. If everything turns out well and I have the money to do so, I'd like to see if I could go hardcore watercooling on this (3x360mm rads, 2 pumps and such). Thank you in advance for any advise you may have. Best regards, seecker

Thanks for the advice!

Hello everyone! Can someone tell me if this could work with the Meizu Pro 5 32Gb phone? I'm running android 5.1 with the EMUI and have been happy with it, but some apps don't work because of my old version of Android. I'd prefer try to change the OS then buy a new phone... Thanks!

My name is seecker and my main PC broke down at the end of september... It was a very nice PC though. I'm now relying on an old laptop a friend of mine had lying around (has DDR2 RAM!). So I guess you get why I'm interested in the ZBOX! ^^ Love to Linus Media Group! I've watched all your videos in about 6 months (getting myself in a bad situation with my parents but TOTALLY worth it!). GL HF all and please continue making awesome videos! Seecker
