    A few of us on the team buy hardware specifically for BOINC/Distributed Computing and have decent sized farms that can do a tremendous amount of computing. Most of the hardware comes from eBay. Buying decommissioned enterprise hardware for relatively cheap. Not sure if you're wanting to get...

    Folding@Home January TeAm record run 2026

    I find BOINC more fun. We have multiple competitions during the year that we compete in. From the Primegrid Challenge Series which one is set to start in a few hours. A competition the team has dominated in the past few years winning something around 30 challenges consecutively and counting...

    Folding@Home January TeAm record run 2026

    Well I'm currently not running F@H. Haven't decided if I'm going to this month or not. I do run BOINC nearly 24/7 year around with a slow down during the hot months. Hardware is mostly EPYC setups with a bunch of 30-series GPUs. Still got a bunch of Nvidia P100s, but I uninstalled them a...

    MSI GeForce RTX 5090 Lightning Z Is Already Brewing Up a Storm Thanks to Its Two 12V-2×6 Connectors and 2,500 Watt XOC BIOS

    I mean technically it is, but a case fan isn't going to change much either way. If you could cryo-cool the connectors then it would be fine. It would lower the resistance to a point where it wouldn't melt anymore. but again, a case fan isn't getting those kind of temps haha

    MSI GeForce RTX 5090 Lightning Z Is Already Brewing Up a Storm Thanks to Its Two 12V-2×6 Connectors and 2,500 Watt XOC BIOS

    I remember back in the good ole days. Silicon lottery was a thing. Getting the best CPU that can overclock. Now it's a connector lottery. Getting a connector built within' the right tolerances that doesn't melt.

    Folding@Home January TeAm record run 2026

    What fittings are these?

    I need these for my setup and I'm not sure what I am looking at. It looks to be a bunch of fittings here, but I'm not sure which ones. Starting at the bottom it appears to be a right angle elbow, then a long extension, then a short extension, then another right angle elbow, not sure what the...

    52 cores with over two thirds of them being worthless "efficient" cores. no thanks. For my use case its a 16 core processor.

    I would preorder that game. No joke. Because somehow it would be the best game any company has ever put out, ever.

    Netflix Didn’t Attribute Any Value to WB Games in Its Deal Because It Was Considered Relatively Minor to the Grand Scheme of Things

    Not a lot of IPs are as big as DC though... That's a huge catalog of possible content to make games around.

    Netflix Didn’t Attribute Any Value to WB Games in Its Deal Because It Was Considered Relatively Minor to the Grand Scheme of Things

    Yeah, but looking at some of their IPs. Their is potential for a lot of profits if done correctly. Just needs the right visionary to see it through.
