It ended a little over 23h ago.

Oh shit it's over now? Guess I can reel the Mac Mini in a little bit so it's not sitting at 75-80C with the fan rippin (still very quietly but). It would be nice to be able to use it again and not have to think about my PPD tanking since it was the only thing I had running for the entire event.

This was fun, happy to be apart of it and loved the daily updates. Next time I'll try to have a somewhat more powerful computer, but I held by own in the 300's. lol.

[ShadowLinks]

Goal was top 100, but i think i snuck in top 75

My folding computer is my everything computer. I folded every day of the competition, with only my 7900 XTX and Ryzen 5800X3D. Price to folding performance AMD can't beat NVIDIA CUDA. My GPU was often sitting at less then 70% utilization and I can tell with my power monitoring. Full system load I am using 700W but much of the time I was sitting at 500W. Still I got more points this year then last year with my 3070Ti. I have passed 1 billion on F@H and 800 Million for LTT_Team. My winter hasn't been as cold this year so I needed to open my window a few times to let in the 34-28F outdoor air. My cats love when I leave the windows open. I made it to page 4 on the Extreme Overclocking Member List Ranking this year from page 5 last year. I look forward to hitting a billion on LLT_Team!

Great folding everyone, time for some water loop cleaning, then get them back up to regular folding schedule during off-peak electricity prices.

I didn't realize how much of a difference the servers were making in my basement. All last month it was 72 freedom degrees down there. I shut down yesterday evening, now it's 64 degrees.

Well we shall see. Judging how slow games etc are from the video. Not necessarily very good…but could be fast just hard to tell till f@h gets their hands on one to develop an instance for.

Very VERY VERY slowly, if this is an indication there is no reason to port the client yet.

Its closer to an Intel Atom E3930 and probably similar power consumption too:

https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/compare/3883644?baseline=3427851

 

Its also about ~1/8 the performance of a Steam Deck at best, in some tasks the gap is an absolutely chasm.
My guess would be those tasks would need optimised RISC code whereas on x86 they would be using bespoke CISC instructions.

Its made huge progress in a relatively small amount of time though.

[Senzelian]

Well done everyone! That's all I have to say

I don't think either support RISC-V anyway so performance would be zero/math error

i Just started folding for this event! Lol. was on holiday for most of it, so I figured I'd put my 3090Ti to use.

Thank you for pointing me over there. I just made a post 

[Alex Atkin UK]

I think the top 10 should get special badges marked "you crazy fools" or something.

 

This makes me kinda sad but were back to gas heating as it should be a LOT cheaper (and quieter):
