Thanks for the words of reassurance. I had a feeling it would be fine, but I also saw that an 850w PSU was 'recommended' so I wanted a second opinion.

I'm currently running a Ryzen 5 5600x with a GTX1080 and using a Corsair RM750x, but a friend of mine is selling me a MSI RTX3080 Suprim X. Will it work with my current PSU or do I really need to upgrade? PC Part Picker estimates my power usage to be 629w. Full build link below https://pcpartpicker.com/user/DelphinusVyse/saved/nGxmD3

Came back from getting something to eat to find I had a full set of WUs, Looks like I'll be breaking 4 million soon!

Yeah, and that's with a 4.2 GHz overclock. I was annoyed the pump died sure, but I was very happy that my CPU didn't fry like a chicken wing at KFC. Granted in theory it would have just shut the whole computer off if it got that hot. Actually had a friend call me once because his computer wasn't booting to Windows, come to learn he took it apart and put it back together, heatsink wasn't making proper contact so it was reaching thermal shutoff before even booting fully into Windows 7. That core2duo chip continued to work fine till it was ultimately replaced with something better.

Hah, I might consider it on my next build, haven't really looked at what it would cost though. No way I'm putting that into a system I've had since 2013. Every upgrade I've made since I originally put it together would easily transfer to a new build.

Yeah, Alas, my motherboard has 2 CPU fan headers but no pump header.

I used to have a CLC, they look nice, but the pump died on mine just outside of Corsair's 5 year warranty, and because I was an idiot and didn't set the software to warn me when the pump was dead, the way I found out was when I was playing Rainbow Six Siege with a friend and he was getting better FPS with a lower end graphics card, which lead me to discover that my 3770K CPU was running at 90 C/194 F and doing a bit of thermal throttling as a result. So I switched to a Noctua because I much prefer the idea of replacing cheap fans rather than the entire cooler. As for the 0RPM setting, doesn't really do anything negative for me. My SSDs are mounted behind my motherboard.

So, I gave the old GTX 960 that I added to my rig some new Kryonaut thermal paste and adjusted the fan curve, and now it's running at about 63 C, down from 75+. Of course the ambient air is cooler now too but I still think it helped a lot. However I'm not sure I even fully trust the thermal diode in this card because even shortly before I redid the thermal paste, with the fan running at 30% it was idling at about 19 C, which was pretty much exactly what the room temp was. Pretty sure it should still be at least a little warmer than the ambient air even on idle, my also idle 1080 certainly was. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Edit: Figured I'd add that my 1080 didn't have the fan turned off due to low temps because of the fan curve I applied for folding, so that's not why it was running warmer at idle, because that would have been my first thought too.

Question: People are mentioning getting another WU assigned before the current ones are finished. How can you see when that happens? Just curious.
-
Not sure how accurate it is to actual usage while folding, but Seasonic's PSU calculator puts my system at using 647 W under load. Not sure what I really expected but I didn't think it would be quite that high.
-
Wow, that's a lot of power indeed. I'm sure I'm nowhere near that but I do wonder what my system with an overclocked 3770K, GTX 1080, and GTX 960 is using. If only I had a watt meter plug.

I actually was on team EVGA a few years back after I got my current graphics card, but LMG is way cooler. You guys all rock!

So, I was bored and did a little math on how long it would take us to pass EVGA at the current points per week. Only about 17 weeks... Heh, makes you wonder how much things will continue to grow and how long it'll be before people taper off.

Hmm, not a bad idea. I may do that tomorrow. For now, I finally got 3 WUs to process. Woo!

Yeah, it's running at around 75ºC, which I believe is a little on the warm side for a 960 but not enough to be worried.
