Welp... my foldinator didn't arrive till today. Tomorrow is a Red Letter Holiday in Hungary and my newer workstation (4 Gigabyte Aorus 1080 Ti waterforce) will spend an aditional 4 days in shipping... Still folding on my Main GamingRig (8700k+1080 mini), and my Asus G752vy is doing it's best... Atleast there is so few downtime when I do not recive any WorkUnits... But a day before yesterday was only a CPU hitting day... I hope that I will crack 6 mill till tonight.

Certainly a high powered machine by all means, but the real question as to whether it was a "misfire" comes down to the price of it.

Guys... I hope that I didn't missfire with this machine.
There was an auction where there was no detailed description, only pictures.
From these pictrures some thing what I could read of easily, or guess what it is.

So what I find out is that the following:
Motherboard is an ASUS SAGE X299 (the main give away where the heatsink and the Workstation logo)


Graphic cards are Gigabyte Aorus 1080 Ti Waterforce first edition.  I google searched everything on it, was hoping to find something more information of them, but I am 99 percent sure that my ques is correct.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Power Supply is an EVGA 1600 T2, readable information

 
On the motherboard picture you can clearly see that the CPU is watercoolded, but I didn't recognise the pump and thats why I cant assume the power of it.
Same goes for the Ram, only the maker G.Skill is sure and thats a 4 by something.
I know that the machine is in Working order.
And they are throwing an extra Dell P2717H monitor to it.

I hope that there is an i9 7900 x or higher in the CPU slot and 64 Gb of ram.
It was sold today and the transport will be on the weekend or early next week.
And please tell me your suggestions about the machine, and how much money would you pay for?
If it arives I will tell the final price of it, and the full spec list.

And here is the FULL Picture gallery of it!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Going from this...
More than just your hands are ahead of your brain...
 
I feel like this is not profession at all... Linus would be so proud!

Woah didn't realise we were that close with the guys at folding at home!

I have a general idea from my short talk with linus but I'm not sure if it's info that is meant to be shared so I'm gonna keep it zipped in this instance 

Just spooled up another PC for this. 2600k @ stock clocks...
 
Brings me to a 8700k @ 5 Ghz/RTX 2080, 6700k @ 4.6GHz/GTX 1080, and the 2600k. Sum total assuming they got WU's constantly.... Should be damn near 3 million a day!
 
So glad to see the enormous amount of folks dedicated to this cause. In this time of need which is massive, it really is reassuring to see that the tech community as a whole has really gone full bore at this. The FAH consistent user base of 30k has jumped by over 400k in 2 weeks, that is truly nuts.

Looks like a got a few WU's during the night, cracked 1 mil and still going!

BIG UPDATE! Stats page is finally up and Folding CEO twittered this:
 
Looks like my total estimate was only 20 % off from the correct number. If you use my spreadsheet it will say 321 total PLOPS, but in reality it's 474 PFLOPS at the moment which is almost 4x more powerful than Summit supercomputer!!
This is absolutely insane and a historic moment already. A virtual CHEERS on that one!

I know that these are Rooki numbers, but thats what I can pump into this, and I know that this is a honest work.
Since the 15th of March I achived 781.000 points to fight Covid-19, but I know that I could achive more... but if I crank my system further it would be Unstable...
Currently the main rig is made of: Intel i7 8700k, but needed to be downclocked to 3,7 ghz, a Zotac 1080 Mini (runs fine with 65 Celsius/ It's really loud). 
And on the Side arm is an Asus ROG G751JY on standard setting... and these two manage to get on the last 2 days atleast 500.000 point.
I am lucky with the Work Units that I get.
I hope that We all Folders will be able to beat the Virus! Let's Stand together against I thing, but keep the distance between ourselfs!

I hope that we will be noticed by the LMG Crew aswell in todays WAN Show!

It sure looks nice though

 
Every little helps! That's a good system mate.

Even my dad's Ryzen 1600 with my hand me down 980Ti is working. It's for a very good cause, and the more numbers we crunch the more potential live saved.

Thnx... Incognito mode really helped me... Still in the spam folder isn't any passkeys at the moment.

check your spam for the things, they are sending so many emails out that its being market as spam
use incognito mode for web control, seems to fix for most

are you sure it is the monitor? This is pretty typical behavior for GPUs. Try unplugging the monitor. If this doesn't help please make a dedicated topic in the troubleshooting section fo the forum. Link me with @Metallus97  

Yes thats how Folding at home letter said to leave it at "Any" Covid-19 WUs are prioritized atm. 

Anyone know if i can Remote control FAHcontroller over the net? I have them running on some Work Server. would like to control them from the one installed on my comp.

Joining In for a folding fight... Last Night couldn't found the correct info on, but now I am here!

I am bringing to the fight is a 8700k (downclocked), and a Zotac 1080 mini at the moment...

Yup. So about 200 euros more, and you get a much better rig. And the 980 Ti is about 1070 performance stock, more when overclocked, and has a lot of CUDA cores for rendering. 

Just a platform for the idea upgrade. Obviously a better GPU like a used 980Ti or a 1070/1080 but I just left the 1060 6GB as a placeholder. I think the 980Ti goes for about the price of a 1060 6GB on ebay.

The current budget is max 500 € for a graphic card. In the 300 € zone I can find 1060 but for 350 € there are used 980Ti. Maybe I will choose that route. Don't know yet.
