Post: For those running Windows and using a newer Ryzen or Threadripper processor, there is a new clock optimizing tuner by the Ram Calculator developer. +1 Darn, I don't have any Ryzen 9's running windows right now. Just a Amd 2700 with a modest Nvidia card that I am trying to heat up my bedroom with.... ;) |

Post: After being away just over a year, I'm saddened to see it gone..Is there any project thats similar to this that I could try? As far as I can tell there are no directly similar projects. There are space/astronomy/physics projects (einstein@home, universe@home, milkyway@home, cosmology@home, etc) as well as several Covd19-related projects (Rosetta@Home, World Community Grid, Gpugrid?) Nothing that would catch the imagination the way Seti@Home did. Tom M |

Post: Still sitting on the fence on whether to pull the trigger on the TR system upgrade. I want the better math performance of Zen 2 in the TR platform. Just saw a rumor for a 16c/32t Am4 socket running near 5.+ ghz. Not sure what its name will be. Just think. For nearly the price of a 2nd 3950x cpu you could run 4 gpus ($700 MB). Wouldn't cost more than that to upgrade your TR (both cpu and motherboard...)? Tom M |

Post: I too lament the lack of modestly priced 4 gpu card capable X470/X570 motherboards. It is getting rare even in X399 boards too. I like the capabilities of the Godlike board but don't like the price. Why won't some board maker offer that model without all the bling which would shave a fair bit of $$$ off the product. I have moved my 3950x back into a giant server case I just got back from a customer (moved the guts from the server case to a smaller case). So when the next X450 MB with 3 long slots comes in I will "try" running 3 R5700's in a case. I think I am going to end up with a short R5600xt as the third gpu as a compromise to improve the access to air by the middle gpu. I guess there isn't a really high demand for a 4 long slot Am4 MB. Just have to move back up to a TRer to get that kind of spacing. :( Tom M |

Post: I'm still here. I've subscribed to a couple of threads so I get notified in boinc when there are new posts. I miss this place. The joy of lots of work, the wondering how long Tuesday's maintenance/backup window would be, and the shared frustration of down time. It made me feel like part of a clan. I don't crunch much with one slow machine, but still there was a place for me. I don't know when I'll feel that again. I crunch at World Community Grid. I'm on a team. I love the monthly updates from the scientists. I love the silly badges, but this is still where I know I can get computer help/ boinc help quickly. Thank you for the "good old days" check. I needed that refresher : Tom M |

Post: I have been re-watching the expanded Star Wars movies universe. Star Wars IV is the "original movie". Just got "Revenge of the Stith" (SW III) from the local public library. Then I will be "caught up" to the start again. :) I also was told to check out "My name is Trinity" a funny Spagetti Western. Just finished "Shanhai High Noon" starting Jackie Chan... (some of the martial arts was "slap stickish". Tom M |

Post:
Is this another way of saying 4 GPUs on the MB? There is at least Am4 MB that appears to support 4 GPUs directly on the MB. And "appears" to have 2.5 slot spacing in between every one of the PCIe X 16 slots. It is a $700 MB called "Godlike"..... It may be the only way to get out of a mining rack and back into a regular E-ATX computer case. Tom M |

Post: I will get my "giant server case" back next week. I am considering migrating my current mining rack back into it for better dust control. I have my R6700's running on a mining rig so its not a problem to run 3 GPUs off it. 1 on the MB and 2 off a riser. Has anyone seen an Am4 socket MB where all three of the long slots are 2.5 slots apart? It is really common to have the 2nd and 3rd long slots only two slots apart making for a hot running gpu problem. I may have found an X550 MB with all three long slots with 2.5 slot spacing. I am wondering if there are any others besides the "Godlike" model. I really don't want to spend $1,000 on an MB. Tom M |

Post: Apparently there is going to be wide spread need for additional support. It sounds like every place that has allowed indoor crowds is having increased Cornvid19 infection rates. So how do you telecommute to your favorite bar and hang out? Tom M |
