maximumzero reacted to Crunchy Dragon in Found a small chip/knick on the surface of my CPU cooler, how much will it affect performance?
I wouldn't be worried about it if your thermal paste application is good enough.

If it's such a small nick you didn't even know what it was and needed a toothpick to verify.... it won't affect temps by even a degree. It's a non-issue.
But that doesn't mean you can't buy the Dark Rock Pro 4 anyway.

Found an image that's similar to my situation for reference.
Many thanks for your input, guys and/or gals. I've only seen it get up to the mid-70s in gaming, though obviously something like Cinebench just has it pegged at 90c continuously.
There may still be a Dark Rock Pro 4 in my future, but I feel okay sticking with what I have for now.

maximumzero got a reaction from Gorgon in Nvidia GTS 450 incompatible with Folding@Home, I presume?
So...swapped out the GTS 450s with a GTX 680 and the Folding@Home client is reading "Disabled" for the slot that I attempt to add. Is that GPU not supported either?
Nevermind, had to restart the computer after the driver install.

maximumzero got a reaction from Hybris5112 in Wacky idea: Can I use a Wraith Stealth fan as a case fan?
Well it's literally between no rear fan and using the Wraith Stealth fan.
I don't really think a rear fan is necessary, so I don't feel a need to buy one, but if I have a freebie fan that only works "half good", then "half good" is better than "not at all".

maximumzero got a reaction from YoungBlade in 4k PC gaming on a budget, is it possible?
Well this is patently false. Not everybody needs a 3080/6800XT level card and you can easily put together a $800 build that will play games just fine.

Really wish I could get a cheap GPU to toss into my Folding rigs, but even “cheap” GPUs these days have gotten ridiculous. Ugh.

maximumzero got a reaction from x17andrew71x in LTT Folding Team's Emergency Response to Covid-19
Got about seven computers here at my workplace that are all waiting for work units. Seems a shame that Folding@Home has finally hit the big time and they can't get enough projects out for people to work on.

maximumzero got a reaction from rkv_2401 in Folding@Home not compatible with old GPUs, what Distributed Computing project can I put them towards?
Thanks. Figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.
