Any number that anyone puts out in this thread is a complete shot in the dark as we don't know if AMD's upcoming GPUs will even deliver the 2080/Ti performance.

A bit of a surprise this morning, the C3 Tangerines came in today! (Sorry for the crappy photo)

 
First impressions, these are really smooth! Probably the one of the smoothest stock switches that I've used (granted I only clicked a switch at a time). Comparing these to Black Ink, Creams, Tealios, and Linjars, they are comparatively smooth but have less spring ping at stock. I now get it why these are so hyped about.

I stripped a preexisting one and used it as a base  

No comments on how it's in 60 FPS and looks sweetery buttery smoothiery, huh

Good job on the guide.
Here is a list of more mechanical keyboard vendors. Not mine, someone on r/mk made it so I don't know if it's updated.
 
I know this guide is geared towards custom, but this layout reference might be helpful for folks with OEM keyboards (Corsair, Razer, etc) that want to start off with changing their keycaps.

The game is better if you play with friends since the AI isn't really the best. I would give it a 9 out of 10 from memory of playing it back on the Xbox 360 with friends.

Finally got a Frame for the Masterpiece from dbrand ! It's the Umbra Axis Single (21 x 24 cm)



The hinge on the frame is similar to the one on a Surface Pro, you can adjust it into any "stop" position in the 360 degree radius because the hinge goes around the frame and allows you to either prop it up like this on a table/bookshelf/nightstand or hang it on the wall.
 
Original Post:
 

So, the following is the sort of thing that happens when you're quarantined at home and have evenings and weekends to more less let your mind wander.
 
TLDR: Based on the many questions and comments of folders during the last LTT folding event I made a dark mode Chrome Extension for the F@H web client with a real time PPD benchmark database that gives you feedback on your PPD by GPU model and work unit.  It also has an LTT skin when you fold for our team ID with a forum F@H badge level indicator.

THIS IS AN UNOFFICIAL PROJECT AND IS IN NO WAY DIRECTLY SUPPORTED OR AFFILIATED WITH LTT, IT'S FAN / ENTHUSIAST MADE.
 
The website with GPU/WU database: https://folding.lar.systems/
The dark mode extension link: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/folding-at-home-in-the-da/alpjkkbjnbkddolgnicglknicbgfahoe
(note the screen shot on the chrome store page is the default skin, did not want to show the LTT skin as LMG does not know I did this and the skin is unofficial)
 
To use the extension in Chrome:
Make sure F@H is running on your system. Install the "Folding in the dark at home" extension https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/folding-at-home-in-the-da/alpjkkbjnbkddolgnicglknicbgfahoe Navigate to your local F@H client URL https://client.foldingathome.org/
THIS IS A BETA VERSION: So please be gentle as I could only test it so far on Windows 10 with the last 2 versions of the F@H software and right now it's only available for Chrome.   This is an evenings and weekends type project so any bug fixes need will be applied as so as I can.
 
The Team LTT Skin:

 
 
Goals of the extension:
Look easy on the eyes, especially at night, while helping new folders to team LTT by showing a specific LTT folding skin variant if they set us as the team correctly, saw a number of people during the event that put in the team number off by 1 so yeah... (it has a default skin for other teams) A sub component of the LTT skin is so that if they show the team in an LMG video again perhaps they will know they have it set to LTT and not PCMR
  Reduce new folder questions to @GOTSpectrum and the event thread that are related to PPD performance For PPD the client collects once an hour a users PPD, GPU and WU to build a database of PPD averages by GPU and WU ID. The client then pulls from this database and displays to the user if there PPD is currently above or below the average based on their GPU and the specific WU to reduce questions like "I hear my GPU should get 2mil points, but i'm only getting 1.5mil?" because it varies by WU The client uses the baseline for your GPU and the WU to show a real time indicator of % above or below the average so a user can visualize how variable PPD is on a WU while it folds different parts and if the user changes settings or usage on their machine such as competing GPU usage or over/under clocking.
  Reduce badge request thread stuff for forum admins. When the client is set to team LTT it shows what forum F@H badge level you are eligible for with a link to the forum based ONLY on points submitted to team LTT to avoid confusion over a users total points (for no or other teams) vs LTT specific points.
  Provide a data backed GPU PPD database that is always current The dark mode skin has direct links to https://folding.lar.systems/ which posts publicly the GPU PPD averages based on real world user submitted conditions such as changing cores, all WUs blended etc. which is useful to gauge if you're getting the most out of your card or inform buying additional ones for folding.  https://folding.lar.systems/folding_data/gpu_ppd_overall  There is also detailed breakdowns of a GPU model that shows how different WUs performance work to better see the variance in a cards performance.
RTX 2080 Super Example - https://folding.lar.systems/folding_data/gpu_ppd_profile?gpu_model=GeForce RTX 2080 Super Don't see your GPU on the list, just start using the extension and it will become available in a few hours as data samples are collected and processed,  the more people that use the extension the more GPUs and WUs in the database.  The long term goal here is to no longer have to guess what current, older or cloud GPUs can do in terms of PPD we will have real world backed data. The PPD scores will adjust over time based on most recent data to account for changes to cores and drivers.
  Super user features You can run the extension with the query string parameter ?nofade=true added to the end of the URL to prevent the web client from sleeping for always on monitoring.  Note this mode disables viewing your F@H total scores to be kind to the F@H API providing it that does not expect those calls 24/7.  
I have lots of other ideas for the client and PPD database site but need users and interest to have GPU data samples from use to get there so please give it a look.
 
Cheers, and thanks for all the fun it's been so far folding with team LTT.

My Thoughts:
Hype. I remember being a young kid a playing Tiberian Sun for days on end. While I could never get far, I loved the actual live action video and actual story line it provided and really was a league of it's own. I'm ready for this remaster and I'm glad they've opened it up as much as they have.

Mystery game on May 28th. Any guesses?

Hi there,
 
i have been a PC enthusiast quite a while. My first serious build (in 2003) was a AMD Athlon XP 3000+ that i overclocked the shit out of with a ATI Radeon 9500 that i bios flashed to a 9700 Pro to get better benchmark scores including having artifacts all over my screen. Did that for a while until i blew the Northbridge on my Motherboard somehow. Good times! I believe i had another more genereic 64 bit Athlon after that, and Intel systems ever since. So i was quite excited to do another AMD build after all this time, and as a added bonus I also finally did my first custom water loop - wanting to do one for many years but buying AIOs instead.
 
So here is what i went with:
 
AMD Ryzen 9 3950X
ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero
32 GB G.Skill Trident Z Neo 3600MHz CL16 DDR4
my existing Nvidia RTX 2080Ti Founders Edition
Fractal Design Meshify S2 White
Fractal Design Flex VRC-25 PCIe Riser Cable Kit
Seasonic Prime Platinum 1000W Power Supply
CableMod PRO ModMesh Cable Extension Kit Black/White
Samsung 1TB NVME 970 Evo Plus System Drive
Samsung 2 TB 860 Evo for everything else
6x Noctua 120mm NF-F12 PWM Chromax Black Swap 1500RPM Fan
EK Velocity D-RGB CPU Waterblock AMD Nickel Plexi
EK Quantum Vector Waterblock RTX RE D-RGB Nickel Plexi & Black Backplate
EK Quantum Kinetic TBE 200 D5 D-RGB Reservoir Pump Combo
EK CoolStream PE 360 Triple Radiator (Front)
EK CoolStream SE 360 Slim Triple Radiator (Top)
EK Torque Fittings, Matte Black Rubber Tubing & CyroFuel Clear
So i chose to run the tubing quite a bit different to what i have previously seen on other soft tube build and run most of it hidden & through the back of the case. This worked out just fine with no kinking etc. I blew through the completed loop and there was not much back pressure at all.
 

 
One issue i came across is that the 24Pin extension was defective and i had to remove that for now. I'm pretty stoked on how it came out in the end and it's been a blast to use so far. Only issue is that it runs so quiet even under heavy load that the coil whine on my RTX 2080TI became veeery audiile. 
 

 
Those pictures where taken just after filling the loop, no more bubbles now.

I usually brush other people's teeth before I go to bed.

RTX 2080 Ti pulled from a HP Z work station. Paid £799 for it. Will be going under water so don't worry about the blower.
 
Ampere is a good bit away and I wanted something better than a GTX 1080 HOF to go in lööp.
