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?

Which motherboard are you utilising here @Gorgon? -
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

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? -
Should I replace my PSU simply because it’s old?
mattheginger replied to mattheginger's topic in Power Supplies
@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 -
Should I replace my PSU simply because it’s old?
mattheginger replied to mattheginger's topic in Power Supplies
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. -

I'm not sure regarding the pcie. But as an anecdote, I installed my 4070 (non-Ti) the other night and proceeded to get mostly low-atom WU's for the evening, giving seriously lackluster PPD. The difference in points between low and high atom WU's for these 40's series cards is wild. Sometimes a full 50% drop. -

Yeah I installed the latest version from the get go, then tried deleting and re-adding the project. Event log didn't seem to show anything notable, other than 'no tasks available for... <insert application name>...' But overnight I got a slow trickle of WU's, and now it seems to be picking up. But it seems as though the issue may have been with WCG, as they posted this earlier on their FB page; -

Is anyone else having issues getting work units from WCG right now? I've come back from a long hiatus (haven't crunched any since it switched to Krembil), but despite my best efforts, it just won't give me any work. Confused. -

I'd be intrigued to know what temps you get. I've been eyeing up this card precisely because it's two slot -
And here we are, Summer folding sprint 2023, si…

Hopefully I can secure a new GPU by then. If so, then I'll be onboard! -

Has anyone dabbled with boinc on the new mac M1's? Thinking of upgrading my macbook and just curious of its capabilities. I pretty much only do WCG on boinc. -
