I created an exception on Avast since Malwarebytes didn't flag the program(I have both running concurrently) These are the results I got. Can't really make heads or tails with the data since the results were not presented in PPD like the F@H main program. CPU compute on 5960X GPU compute on GTX980 ref All other settings were on default.

i tried running it but Avast keeps flagging it as suspicious. Seeing that it is not actually hosted on the F@H Stanford site, I have my reservations on its integrity. I might be over-sensitive on this but I think its better to play it safe.

hmm... I'm interested to know who else is folding for team LTT in Singapore besides me. Here's my profile and a link to it http://fah-web2.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=userpage&username=Domtine&teamnum=223518

I think it's because the WUs in F@H differs in terms of processing time required. AFAIK there is no single benchmarking WU that one can run yet. I have been running my 3 GTX980 with 12 threads 5960X for about 3 months now and I still see my projected PPD fluctuate from high 900k to low 1.3mil. So in order to get any meaningful data will probably require them to dedicate and entire day or 2 to run F@H and collect the data based on what WUs were processed and how fast they were completed during the test period. Which the F@H client does not provide currently and doing it manually will tie up LTT's resources. Not to mention that sometimes when GPUs get driver updates they break something in F@H.

I must have mixed it up with the ASUS WS boards i was looking at when I was shopping for a replacement board.

Oh wait....... I just re-read the ASUS manual...... 40 lane CPUs run in 16/8/8/8. Sorry for the trouble guys.

I have an X99 board with 5960x. Recently I added a 3rd GPU to it cos it was a cheap 2nd hand sale. According to ASUS's manual, all 4 slots should run at 16/16/16/16 but now I'm running at 16/8/8/1. I have 3 GTX980 in the top 3 slots and an Avermedia capture card in the last slot. I thought everything should run in 16/16/16/1 instead of what is happening currently. Am I doing something worng?

Thanks. I figured out that the NVME is not going to work if I have 4 cards in the board. I think I'll just stick to my old 840EVO.

In a previous thread, I wanted to use 4 GPUs(2 different generations) for folding and that has been solved. Now I'm stuck with another problem. Short of going for server boards, Is there anyway I can use an NVME SSD on a PCIe 2.0x4 slot or am I better off using a SATA SSD? This is because all my PCIe 3.0 slots will be populated by GPUs and they have dual slots I/O panels, I can't fit one into the PCIe 2.0 slot without chopping off something. The PCIE_X8_4 slot in the picture will be disabled if I use the M.2 slot that comes with the mobo. Is there any riser cards I can use or am I really better off using a SATA SSD?

Thanks! I should already have the hardware as far as mobo is concerned so that should be fine. 1200W PSU should be enough for the pascals + maxwells. Corsair tells me I using about 500W currently. It's just a PITA to manually pause/unpause the slots. How I wish there was automation for this.

Not sure if anyone has done this. Logic tells me it should work. But Nvidia being Nvidia, here's what I plan to do. Currently, I have 2x GTX980 in SLI mode and this PC is my work, game and folding machine so it's pretty much on 24/7. With Pascal coming out, I'm planning to get 2 more GPUs to make a total of 4 GPUs. Under any other circumstances, this should be a no brainer. However I intend to keep the 2 980s in independent mode in the same rig and run the 2 Pascals in SLI then have the displays running off the Pascals.The scenario is such that I should be able to fold with the 980s no matter what am I doing. So when I'm gaming, the 980s are still doing work while the CPU and Pascals are gaming. Is this even possible with Nvidia or do I have to change anything in the F@H configuration? Yes I know this setup is a total mega overkill for gaming but I'm just a sucker for new hardware.

Hi, I think this is my first ever post on the LTT forums so I thought I would share what I have been through over the past 2 days. I went out and bought a bunch of stuffs to fix a slow leaking rotary joint and took the chance to change my rad from 30mm to 60mm. Went home drain, dismantle, install and all that finger tearing stuff. It was 11pm at night during the filling process, that I realise there was a puddle on the floor and the VRM fitting was wide open and there was a mini fountain.I have been through this and it took out the mobo, RAMs and CPU, now it was the 2nd time. But it was different this time, I remembered my lesson 1 year ago and removed the 8-pin CPU power and 24-pin ATX(I was using it to jump start the PSU) prior to filling so there was absolutely no power going to the mobo. However it was late and I was feeling tired and defeated, I left the rig swimming in a puddle of coolant and went to sleep. The next morning woke up, had breakfast, shat and started tearing everything apart, I removed every detachable component on the mobo and took it to the bathroom and gave it a gentle shower. Then out comes the canned air and the major droplets were gone. Then I gave the now naked mobo the hairdryer treatment for 30mins. After I finished i left the mobo laying and went for lunch. After lunch I came back fitted everything full the loops and it's back in action. Lesson learnt: disconnect all power to your mobo so if it goes swimming you can take it for a shower and save it

Hi there, I'm starting a build similiar to yours and now I'm waiting for the M6F mobo block to come in to size up what type of fittings I need. In the photo above, the CPU block outlet is linked to the VRM block. Did you use any spacers on the CPU block?
