    Thanks @Gorgon. Yeah I did look at both the ProArt and Strix models, but in the end decided to just build a B650 system. And perhaps I'll chuck a 40 series card in my old Ivy bridge system at some point, which my new build has now made redundant. Interestingly though, I'm now getting significantly better numbers from my 4070 (non-Ti) in the new system. The card is now topping out at 97% utilisation, whereas before it never surpassed ~92%. This is netting approx an extra 1.5m PPD on the average WU. Could be the difference between PCie 3.0 vs 4.0 perhaps?

    It was a simpler time...

    Which motherboard are you utilising here @Gorgon?
  4. mattheginger
    @Gorgon Do you have any knowledge in this area? Have you built any multi-GPU 5000 or 7000 series Ryzen rigs? Cheers.

    Thanks for your reply. So I should be able to retain 16x on the top card, whilst running 4x on the bottom?

    So I'm currently scoping out my first new build in 10 years, in which I hope to run 2x 4070 Supers. But I've noticed that only the high end motherboards support pcie x8/x8 these days. So my primary question is whether that actually matters for folding? What would happen if I installed two cards into a standard b650 or x670 board? Would they run x16/x4? (x4 through chipset). Would they run at x4/x4? And if I could run the top card at x16 and the bottom card at x4, would x4 (through the chipset) provide sufficient bandwidth for folding? I require the top card to help me slay in Battlefield So it needs at least 8x. Any help would be appreciated

    6M PPD... I have no extra hardware to pull 'out of the cupboard'

    Haven't had the download issue for a couple of days now, so seems resolved. Also loving the extra workout my card's getting in the absence of endless small/low-yield WUs

    Does anybody know why the boinc client dishes out too many tasks with some projects, and not others? I have the client set to only feed me a days worth of tasks at a time, but projects like prime grid and milkyway tend to throw about 4-5 days worth at me at each opportunity. WCG, Rosetta etc seem to work perfectly. Is there another setting I’m missing? I was under the impression that the client settings overrule the individual project settings anyhow?

    @Supersonicwolfe yeah I’ll definitely check out the tier ratings, and probably buy another Corsair model tbh. I’ve decided I won’t replace my current power supply immediately, but set a goal of replacing it in the next 3-4 months. I’m thinking about upgrading my gpu around then, so it seems like an opportune time to replace the PSU (perhaps even for a larger model). Thanks to all who offered their advice
  12. mattheginger
    Would you actually get support under warranty (from the PSU manufacturer) for your other damaged components?

    Hey guys, I have a Corsair HX650w from around 2013. It’s don’t at least a couple of thousand hours of battlefield, plus light duties and ~2 years total of boinc/folding. I’m now thinking of swapping in a new mid level cpu/mb/ram combo into the case. My gut is telling me I should also replace the PSU, but if I’m only going to use around 50% (max) of it’s output, do I really need to replace it? It’s been flawless it’s whole life. How likely is it that it’ll damage my new components if it fails?

    I haven't got one in at least a month. I always assumed that they only released them periodically.
