Go to solution Solved by GOTSpectrum,

Luckily when I said it was almost done, I really meant it. 

 

For the last time in 2020, ladles and gentlespoons, here a blog post.

 

 

And with that said, it's a wrap! Thank you for everyone getting involved, if you'd like to continue talking about folding why not head over to The Folding Community Board

Been using the X16 to X4X4X4X4 for a few months, no issues to say.

Motherboard does have to support bifurcation.

Thank you for that.

 

I'm looking for an x570 board with bifurcation support, if they even exist. I'm hoping to get a zen3 cpu so I could run bifurcated risers at gen 4.0 speeds, if that's possible.

I'm using an MSI X570 A-pro. Will have support for the new AMD CPU's with a bios update.

I'm hoping to find a board with two pcie x16 slots with both slots still running at x16 when populated, this means I could run 8 cards off one board, each at x4.

You'll be looking for a very high end CPU, such as a threadripper for this. That's even if the motherboard would support multiple bifurcated slots. Your idea is ambitious, but would require 32 PCIe lanes.

I forgot about this thread for a hot second. Anyways, stats for today https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1leMd9jA-bU7enawoXD43mOzUIPGSVX9Aiorep3C4Q9g/edit#gid=25113225

I don't think Mark posted them here. I didn't see them at least

Either @piratemonkey or quote me when responding to me. I won't see otherwise

Put a reaction on my post if I helped

2.8M ppd on an RTX 2060? That's just nuts.

if it's stable, that means you got really lucky at the silicon lottery. the little engine that could :))

Hi guys, I sadly won’t be folding this year. I just received my power bill from last year and used an excess of €525 over 12 months in power. Now, I can only attribute that to folding. 
 

wish all you other folders good luck, and let’s win collectively ❤️

My power bill was about that before I started folding, now it's about double that. ☹️

yeah same here, about 1350 euro's a year. and there really isn't any super power hungry equipment in my house other than my F@H systems.

Not necessarily, apparently my 2 x Xeon L5640 can have up to 72 PCI lanes (36 ea). Tho to be fair no specific data exists for that specific chip, however if one wants to go that route server chips and boards are a good choice.

This board support up to 56 lanes

I’m lucky my next place has electric heating because I can just fold instead. Power bill is gonna be high either way so might as well

This is my strat for folding months.

All gear is 24/7 but all heating in the house is replaced with folding machines that I have broken down in to smaller systems to have in different areas.

 

When folding month is over I go back to only power efficient cards and time shifting their use based on power rate times of day.

You can fold a lot without going broke, but it takes strategy.
