  1. In layman's terms, GPU's can perform tasks like powers and vector calculations in a single cycle which allows it to run simulations significantly faster than CPU's, especially when things like protein folding involve lots of simulataneous math, which GPU's are good at because they have so many cores.
  2. Both are single precision, the 958k is adjusted to CPU FLOPS to take into account that GPU's can perform tasks like powers in a single cycle where a CPU would take 2, the actual value compared to Linpack is somewhere between the two.
  3. The F@H statistics page is up again, and currently the peak combined processing speed is 958 PFLOPS. This is nearly 5 times faster than the fastest supercomputer in the TOP500. (Summit: 201 PFLOPS) It's also faster than the combined peak processing power of the top 10. (742 PFLOPS) Doing pretty good if I can say say so. https://stats.foldingathome.org/os https://www.top500.org/lists/2019/11/
  4. You're the only one taking about general health here, my replies in both cases have been about the OPs question of "Sperm Count", which I am failing to see anyone refute.
  5. Agreed that mice having less mass is a factor, but saying "We're not freaking mice" isn't useful because you're not otherwise distinguishing how effects differ. The WiFi points used have an output of -28dBm and in the case of OP, he is concerned with it being positioned immediately next to (point blank) his crotch. Now I'll throw you a bone and state that human testing hasn't been published publicly so I cannot verify it scales as such, but initial findings suggest WiFi does kill off sperm count over time. https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20190429005914/en/Study-Showing-Mounting-Evidence-Harmful-Effects-WiFi
  6. I laughed for a second, but then took the time to check. There are multiple studies showing 2.45 GHz Wi-Fi reduces sperm count, the people above have dismissed your question without bothering to check. There are articles dating back to 2011 on the matter. The above comments are likely in reference to the non-ionising nature of Wi-Fi (Which therefore cannot cause cancer). https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4503846/
  7. Yeah, it's the connector marked "f_panel". If you don't have the manual and can't find it online, the best guess would be the standard layout: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005643/boards-and-kits/desktop-boards.html
  8. Try: FN+F10 Or: Realtek HD audio manager > Enable/Change Settings to output from jack.
  9. Oh I agree the HD800s are flawed when it comes to pure entertainment factor, but they are the standard I hold any other "Audiophile" headphones to. My disappointment with the video was that Linus didn't try another pair of High-End headphones to get some perspective, using the HD800s as a warm-up might have allowed him to get some perspective on whether the Abyss were worth the cost.
  10. Such snake oil in this video. $4,000 for an aluminium shelf? "Best headphone's I've ever listened to"? No sign of the HD800s to bring reality crashing in by referencing to a set of earphones made by a company that doesn't sell products with snake oil. I'd like to see a fixed set of good headphones -HD800s probably a good choice- for future "audiophile" headphones.
  11. It has the specs of what DxDiag says, and it says its a prebuilt, it may be in a new case but that's it. ThinkCentre Edge 72 LENOVO 3484HPU mobo i3-3220 16 GB of RAM 1tb WD HDD >>> These are also the specs of your PC. https://www.lenovo.com/gb/en/desktops/thinkcentre/edge-series-towers/edge-72/ Sorry for your loss.
  12. It's a prebuilt, that HDD is a decade old, the Mobo is 8 years old and belongs in a Lenovo prebuilt Thinkcentre Edge 72, processor is 7 years old, and the whole thing is worth ~$100 in its current condition (Minus your upgrades). You got ripped off for $600 CAN
  13. It's a business tower from 2012, prebuilt, can't tell you if it was a "ripoff" without knowing how much it cost.
  14. Well, it's a 3rd gen CPU, but how much did you pay?
  15. I'd sell out for 4 billion, gotta be honest. 200 employes, 20 mil each, No problem.
  16. Hate being the fun-killer but no "Redundant" PSU's exist to power such a monster. Though, if you are considering such a device having an engineering department build a custom one probably isn't out of the question.
  17. What do you mean by "Break" a 3.5mm jack, if all you've done is have it loosen the connection over time you can probably get it out and just tighten up the internal pins, otherwise you can use your motherboard's built-in audio system on the rear IO, buy a DAC, or go wireless.
  18. Can you run it? Yes. Will it be fun? No. Your GPU is probably fine for games but that processor hasn't aged well for VR and unfortunately you'll likely end up needing to move to a whole new mobo for VR, including memory replacement.
  19. Type "dxdiag" in the Windows menu (I'm assuming your OS here), save the text file and post it here, it'll give us all the specs if you don't know them yourself.
  20. It turbo's to 4.6 GHz from 3.8 GHz, you down-clocked it, not over-clocked. Try an all-core 4.4 GHz or something and you'll get back up to those voltages.
  21. Your theme is white but your motherboard is black, and that is the most visible component in this build. Why not go for a white one: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/2k3H99/asus-prime-z390-a-atx-lga1151-motherboard-prime-z390-a I would recommend an arctic mobo but I can't see a Z390 variant. Also, you cant see the PSU in that case, so colour doesn't matter. The cooler is also too expensive. And unless you have HDD's available you should probably balance the cash a little more towards storage.
  22. I second this, my ASUS Prime-X370-PRO "Supports" the Ryzen 9 3950X, is there a real world difference in performance with otherwise the same hardware? I want to see whether an X370 can keep up with an X570 while PCIe 4.0 devices are still rare.
  23. No, Wattman should do it automatically unless you want silence up to a certain temperature. 80°C is getting toastie, 90°C is hot, most cards will survive 100°C+ but not for long. Is recommend having your fans kick up to 100% before 90°C.
