Thank you. I put this machine together for the last event and its been very reliable so far (touch wood), it's been months since I last touched it. Getting into the top 100 and having no issues makes me very happy as I don't have much free time at the moment.

Miker07 will be there very soon, then there's a steep drop to me and the point differences start getting much closer. I hope to join you within a year, but I guess you guys would have also moved up significantly in that time.

I'm watching you

Looks to be leveling out , still really impressive stuff guys I was thinking about all that stock Linus bought from that computer shop, then hardware prizes crossed my mind, anyone need random hardware from the early 2000's ?

Bunkering in fah , honestly no idea.

I'm not sure what he meant, but I originally interpreted it as him planning in joining in and folding along with us in some capacity, but after rewatching a couple of times maybe he did mean hardware as prizes.

I only have a lot of gpu's because of the mining boom, I made back my original investment and profited upon selling the gpu's, I then used this money to buy new gpu's to fold on. I didn't really make any money, just earned gpu's

@Mxyzptlk What exactly are you running? Of course I don't care, I'm just asking for a friend, ummmm Bob, yes that's his name, Bob. Bob also wants you to slow down, he doesn't want you to burn anything, he worries about you, what a nice guy.

hahaha I wish. Most of my folding power comes from my two bifurcated rigs, then I have a mix of many other single gpu machines. D.B.H.D 1 - 3x 4080 and 2x 4070ti bifurcated rig 40-45 ppd D.B.H.D 2 - 2x 3080 and 2x 3070 bifurcated rig 20-24 ppd

D.B.H.D 1 and D.B.D.H 2 Don't burn the house down.

Looks like I'm not the only one rushing around to get everything ready , there's always plenty of time, then you realise you only have a few hours left before the event starts . Not just did my asus rog 1000w die, I gabbed my silverstone 1500w off the shelf and it's also not working properly, turns on and then immediately off like its detecting a short. Of course it's just out of warranty, so my plan is to let it sit for the next month and then take it apart, clean it, and put it back together again. This meant a load more work freeing up my corsair 1500w so it could be used on a machine with a bifurcated riser that puts all the cards on the same 12v rail, so I wasn't able to use multiple PSU's, I was planning to do this anyway, just not now. It ain't pretty, but it's solid: It now has 3 850w PSU's spread out over the hardware: PSU 1 on the system and a 4080 PSU 2 on a 4070ti and a 4080 PSU 3 on a 4070ti and a 4080 Now I just need to finish up the other bifurcated system with the corsair 1500w PSU.

Using Hyper-V I was able to pass a 4090 to a virtual windows machine, it worked for gaming on the host and the VM, but fah couldn't see a compatible card on the VM even though the 4090 showed up in device manager. I'm thinking of moving from windows to Linux on this machine to see if that improves performance, I just need to figure out whuch distro would be best for me, as I'm inexperienced with Linux it might be best that I get one that's more user friendly. I used Ubuntu a little many years ago, would it be a solid choice?

@Gorgon @Windows7ge @leadeater If I were to try a get Linux working on this machine which distro would you recommend? 3700x 16gb ram 120gb SSD 3x 4080 2x 4070ti Pcie1 4x4x4x4 bifurcation Pcie2 4x Will the multiple cards and bifurcation make things more complicated? Has anyone added any extra client options like client-type advanced?

This had crossed my mind. It's also possible that it ends up working on two larger Wu's each one able to saturated the card on its own or one large and one small, in both circumstances it might end up taking much longer than usual. This might be mitigated to an extent by working on deseases which have generally smaller Wu's. I would also like to make it clear that my main objective is to get more work done, not to generate more points, though I would happily take them .

If I could do this on my 4090 but just chop it into two, that would be great .
