My situation is that I have an abundance of solar power (Not charging my car anymore since I don't go anywhere) and where I live it's better to use it, than sending it to the grid.
So I wanted to use some of the power to run a mining rig. I only have 1 available slot on my mining computer.
 
I'm willing to invest 500-750 bucks.
I'm thinking 2070 Super.  Not too expensive, new enough that I can sell it in a few years.
From my research it would make me around 50 ravencoin per day at current difficulty.
 
I spent a lot of time on different calculators and it is making my head spin a little bit.  I'm not willing to invest in a whole 6 GPU rig, right now.
 
Is my plan good or bad? Other options?
 
(This will also be used when I participate in different folding events for TeamLTT)

Well done everyone.  I dont know how many points we folded, but there was much heat and fun!  Thanks @GOTSpectrum for organizing!

woohoo .. !!!! that was a good one, with 5 power outages, a lot of heat and a lot of power consumed, too many bad units, and a lot of low points units, funny thing at some point my small folding army was running 4 of those bad units in parallel but I let them in order not to be passed to somebody else, hope those projects will finish soon and no more of those will be in the "wild". 
 
Congrats to the winner @Macaw2000  ahahaha
 
PS: forgot to give big thanks to the organisers @GOTSpectrum and his crew
 

I also get around 40C idle. I'm using Noctua NH-D15 as my cooler. I have 3 more fans in the case, 2 intake fans in the front, 1 exhaust fan out the back.
 
When I run F@H without any adjustments overnight, the CPU sits at 87C at 3.9-4.0GHZ.  CPU uses up 113 Watts.
 
I use Ryzen Master to underclock my 3900X just to keep the temps down in my office 🥵.  After all night folding on 22 threads it is sitting at around 73.5C. Clock speed is at 3.75GHz. CPU uses 75 Watts.
 
It makes a difference in the temperature in the office, but its still warmer than anywhere else in the house.
 
All numbers come from the Ryzen Master Application, I read that it's possible the power numbers are wrong depending on which x570 motherboard you use.

Two things, first thing, entries are now closed.
 
Second thing:
 

Because of the higher Voltage needet to get the 4.2Ghz running (P (in Watt) = U (in Volt) * I (in amps), so if U or I rises, youre Wattages rises and a lot more heat is beeing produced)

Wow!  14 days of intense folding and temperatures! 
 
Thanks for organizing! 6th is an excellent result!
 
Had a blast! Will be back next year, and for other folding events!
 
 
 

I have a bunch of clean up to do.. Number fields and iber tasks.. ill finish them before i go to other things!
 
Ok I have a question!  When i run at 100% at 3.8Ghz my temps are 65C-ish. When I run at 50% (4.2GHz)my temps are 75Cish... why?? All because of the higher clock?

Wow!  14 days of intense folding and temperatures!

I must admit 20MPPD on F@H sounds a lot better than 220,000PPD on NumberFields.
 
Switched all my CPU threads over to OpenPandemic on WCG for a change of pace once I swapped memory about and cleaned dust filters.
 
Youngest kid is thrilled with their new White Corsair Vengance RGB Pro 2 x 8GB DDR4-3200 kit replete with Rainbow Vomit. I'm positive it will make MineCraft run faster.

Thank you to everyone that participated in this fun event. We got from 10th to 6th! It was my 1st time using BOINC and participating in a BOINC event. It was definitely challenging trying to make sure all my servers are on the right project. It definitely did some damage on my wallet but it was for a good cause. Hopefully next year will go smoother and run more efficiently.

i plan on being more prepared lol...less systems Bigger cores i maxed out at running 15 Computers and 132 threads....im hoping to have 100 threads or more in 5 computers next year.  Cmon AMD 4000 Series...and 3000 series price Drops...13 of them where at my house lol 

Good times. My first go with BOINC so it was a fun learning experience. A pleasure doing battle with everyone. Until next time!

Hello you guys from LTT, 🖖
 
regardless of how this battle will end, I just wanted to say HELLO and that it was a pleasure to fight against LTT; hard but fair. 👍 We really had to activate each single device we could find – including the German toasters and smart fridges 😆 And we had to give up the sprint for that battle 😩
 
Would be nice to meet you next year again.

What I noticed was I Aborted tasks that were more than 2 hours over the end time and the remaining jobs all started processing faster as the CPUs were able to boost higher.

Do you wanna go down a quitter or do you wanna go down a fighter? Rosetta all or nothing!

I'm still all on Rosetta

Likely outcome:
We wont beat P3D in marathon, and retaking any places in Sprint will be hard since server is down. 
Ill keep chugging on rosetta...
