I tend to hover around the 5m (PPD-24hr average) on that list lol. I've pretty much had my PC running 24/7 for a while but today I decided to turn it off for a few hours while I was out just because of how hot the weather has been yesterday and Friday, OMG my room was so warm even with extra fans and windows all open - with no wind at all outside, it was concerning me as all of my gear near my PC was really warm to touch.
 
Anyways, that's me at #21

UK weather here has been pretty cool these last few days, but I've been playing F2020 so the only time I'm folding now is when I'm sleeping, or at work.
I'm really hooked onto FS2020 though, its so awesome. I've never played a flight sim game before as I've always thought how boring they look, but now being able to fly to anywhere in the world and with usually amazing visuals it's just superb.

Hey all, I thought I'd let others check out my pad for anyone interested. I'll try to keep this topic/blog relevant towards us who are into PC/tech/DIY/rig setups.
I got my own mortgage back in 2013 on this brand new apartment. I'm an electrician in the building trade who also loves DIY stuff in my own time and enjoy helping family/friends out, also a PC hobbyist and an online gamer albeit casually these days.
 
But before I get into that, here's a quick video I made of the last PC setup I had at my parents house from back in 2011 when I first had triple screens and ready for when Battlefield 3 came out: 
  
So then I moved into my own apartment in 2013, created this video of me putting everything together along with the PC setup connected to my TV using wireless keyboard/mouse lounged back onto my couch:
Apologies if you don't like the music, just mute the sound if you dislike it. 

 
 
I later had gigabit broadband installed and made a video of my home network ethernet cable route layout:
 
Then I decided to go back to gaming at a desk as I was missing multi-screen but mainly the use of the new HOTAS setup so I made some alterations to the corner of my lounge:

 
 
So a while later I realised I needed a more comfortable HOTAS setup, and a bigger desk along with 2-3 extra tablets due to GameGlass. I contemplated getting rid of my TV unit but I love it too much it just looks so awesome. I had two double wardrobes in my bedroom so I decided to get rid of one of them, and so this is the result of my current setup:

Don't "test" your PSU limits.
I'm a noob Folder, average PC builder, but I'm an experienced and qualified electrician.
The PSU will mostly determine if a fire occurs in your PC, and if you're not there if the fire happens...its guaranteed game over.
 
Love your project/hobby though!

Mods if this is not appropriate please delete.
 
I would like to take this opportunely to personally thank all of you for folding.
 
I have been fighting cancer for a little over 3 years now and it looks like I have just won the latest round. I can't really express how much it means to me to find a group of people who so selfless spend there own time and resources to try to help people they don't know and I can assure you that there are 1,000s of other people out there like me who would also be thanking you personally if they knew what you are doing.
 
So once again I thank each and every one of you for all you are doing and I hope you carry on.
 
If you have any questions or if you think I can help you out in any way please feel free to get in touch with me.

PS. I plan to make a bit of a more material thank you in the prize pool for the next folding event so don't forget to sign up.

I run a few dual GPU systems and the only solution I’ve found using conventional cases aside from using Noctua iPPC fans and the associated noise is to buy at least one hybrid GPU and put that in the upper slot.
 
Best case I’ve found is the Fractal Meshify S. Load the front with NF-A14s and another in the bottom as intakes and a iPPC2000 or 3000 in the rear for exhaust. A little bit of fan curve tuning and you can get the noise way down.
 
For 6-8 GPU systems the best in terms of noise and cooling is to use twin-axial GPUs in a mining frame with some airflow optimized fans on the frame. Quieter than a dual GPU rig in a conventional chassis.

The temps are good. Believe me, I feel it. It warms the room up. Each GPU hovers around 60-70.C.

Hit LTT rank 70 today. Its somehow been fun watching and climbing the ranks since I joined back in March. Its interesting reading and comparing our computers hardware.
