I am very happy, I have hit the top 10. I don't know as I will keep it for long or ever again, but I have made it at least once.

What you are describing is going to be complex, there isn't a simple solution that will get your CPU at 0C unless you either make it really complex or you spend a lot of money and use a ton of power. Also keep in mind that it is one thing to cool it for a short time but the longer you want to run the setup the worse the problems will be.

Per core efficiency the M2 might be higher but brute force it isn't 10X better than a 7950X. There is some GPU love going on in there.

I run a torrent and I love it. Great airflow, good design, and good build quality. It keeps everything really cool. My other case is a Silverstone Fortress 2. Another great air cooling case.

On Linux you can now run ROCm on the 7900 XTX and XT. I don't have either of those cards so I can't say how they work compared to the OpenCL performance.

Here is my Kubuntu setup I go through to make it work on my machine. Download the client software: fahclient_7.6.21_amd64.deb Get the python3 unofficial control software. If you are OK running with the web control, then you don't need anything else. unofficial control python3 software: Github link for Python3 FAH-control On the GitHub page it will give you some dependencies you need to load up to make the software work but it is all in the repositories. Install the client first, then install the control. That should get you up and running but it not here are some things I have made notes for because one of my systems I have played with so much I should reload but have not taken the time. You shouldn't need this, this is for my self induced issues. #start and stop folding at home sudo systemctl stop FAHClient sudo systemctl start FAHClient #edit folding at home config file sudo nano /etc/fahclient/config.xml #FAH log files and core location /var/lib/fahclient #when the GPU can't find the opencl library in the directory: cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu sudo ln -s libOpenCL.so.1 libOpenCL.so #make sure there are not a ton of FAHClients all trying to run at the same time. (an issue I have on one machine after a reboot) ps -e | grep FAHClient #if a lot are running, kill them all and manually start one up. sudo killall FAHClient With the control software I have it running a couple of different machines and they all are running a single control program. I hope this helps.

My understanding of it is to get the control to the web like they have now but with all of the advanced features the standalone program has. I read that the core folding algorithms have not changed, it just interfaces with the web better. This would allow them to have a single interface instead of a windows, Linux and so on and not run into the oh no one loads python 2 libraries anymore, now we have to update it. Though someone did and runs with python 3 just like the python 2 one does. For the record I am not running V8, didn't seem to be an advantage since I am running on Linux with a python 3 control program. I also use a single control program for 2 machines and until the web interface can do that on one page I will hold off.

Looks like next year I will get my fanatic badge.

It would be interesting to run the numbers again in a couple of months to see how many continue to fold and what the production of those people is.

Just to make sure there are no mix-ups and maybe the competition isn't over yet, I will fold for the next 5 months. Just to be sure.

Not a total snoozefest as there was movement in the top 10.

It doesn't matter. Loop order, serial or parallel, doesn't make a difference. The only things that matter are the number of radiators, size of radiators, and how you are pushing air though them. Number of fans, speed of the fans, how much static pressure do they have and so on.
