Folding Pie and Milestones!!

[PP Mguire]

That'll do, PP, that'll do.

Can't count out the 40ish Haswell-E cores that will crunch but I'm not 100% sure on what chips I'll end up with. I'm supposed to have 2 2687Ws in 5 machines but we'll see what dice are rolled with that.

Thank you folks! I'm still kicking around, even with the surprise death of my de-lidded 3770K and had a 5yo Gigabyte 790GX board and 3yo Gigabyte HD 7950 both go up in flames from VRM failures. I still have plenty of spare, albeit older, hardware at least and I have brought 3 Fermi cards back online to help fill the void a bit.

This sounds interesting. Sitting around or did you bake them to breath life into them?

Surprisingly, my GTX 470, 465 and four 460s all still work properly, compared to the R9 290 that died in a few months along with now two HD 7950 cards that have popped (though I did have an EVGA 460 short and catch on fire, successfully RMA'd and sold off to a friend, and my first 460 was abused when I had bought it, the VRM section was black). The only issue I had with my current cards was the blower fan completely seizing up on the 465, but I took the fan off my stock GTX 470 cooler as I had put a GELID ICY VISION on it with a 120mm fan strapped on.

I was hoping you'd have a 480. I think I might buy one just to see how it'd really perform if cooling wasn't an issue.

[hertz9753]

I have always liked to eat pie. Right now it's just movies and cookies though.

 

[DarthBaggins]

Had some nice chocolate pie over the holiday, still have some Apple and Pecan pies to finish off lol

 

[mx500torid]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Chocolate pie!!!! My favorite.

 

[thebluebumblebee]

I got something for Christmas that I haven't had since the late 80's. A DeLuxe Fruitcake from Collin Street Bakery.

 

[DarthBaggins]

And munching on that f@h pie today too

 

[hertz9753]

I need to slow down. I'm starting to to look like the ChimPowerUp guy after he ate the red ghost in Pac-Man. That goes back a few years but it did happen.

 

[hertz9753]

Double post, sorry.

Top Folders for the week so far since I missed the pie.
You guys are doing AWESOME and thanks to all that broke ranks to join us!

 

[Ithanul]

Hey, there I am. That only with two of my GPUs atm. Wait till I fire all five off.

 

[hertz9753]

We didn't break ranks. My folding friends that I trust are still together.
