Hi Fellow Folders
I thought I would help you guys a little in your efforts to help Folding@Home achieve it's goals.
I had embraced the idea before I joined Team EVGA. I started off with a Asus Z270 A (currently waiting for corrective Bios Surgery/Recovery due largely to a Windows 10 update!).
It was my first folding computer and it was my first real upgrade in a desktop computer since an Asus P5B
I showed you these two images to help you realize what an upgrade it was. 2006 till 2017 I had not upgraded my desktop.
(Anyone interested in paying $100 off current list price if I can save it?....KIDDING!)

It wasn't long before I realized GPU's provided more bang for the electrical buck than CPU's and before I knew it I had gotten to the point I had to shelve 2060 and 3080 GPU's due to better efficiency with Higher output GPU's...![Eek! :eek: :eek:](https://tpucdn.com/forums/data/assets/smilies/eek-v1.gif)
Sold any Asus GPU's because they had to be RMA'd for fan issues. Sold My EVGA 2060's because they only did 2mppd.
EVGA extended all 3080 warranties (long past when I was allowed to!) and recently they sent me a complete set of fans (3 new fans) when a 3080 FTW3 had 2 fans giving me trouble.
IMHO.... EVGA has been an outstanding corporation leading the industry in how they did everything!
It is such a shame they felt they needed to tear the band-aid off when it came to deal with the forum....hard to comprehend...I don't owe them anything more than the respect I received.
This is a very short introduction to me...SmookinJoe...probably the one and only....How else was I to become unique when I too am a Smokin Joe in some circles.
I have started off this way to become familiar with you guys and let you know I am not an expert.
I know nothing!
I am Canadian Eh! as opposed to American unh?...That's gonna set some people off...![Roll :roll: :roll:](https://tpucdn.com/forums/data/assets/smilies/roll-v1.gif)
Hey I didn't vote Trudeau's son in as Prime Minister and I sure as heck didn't vote in Trump....
...![Big Grin :D :D](https://tpucdn.com/forums/data/assets/smilies/biggrin-v1.gif)
Last great leader we had was Jean Chretien and he was Pierre Elliot Trudeau's bag man!
(If you didn't know Chretien and Clinton were great best friends and probably still are.)
Anyway...
The reason I am posting to let you know I have started folding for Techpowerup. I can only imagine the feelings I am stirring up just by starting to climb your leaderboard.
I don't want any of you to feel challenged by my being here. I am here to help Folding@home. On my NoN-AMD folding farm I have reliable equipment that run 24-7.
I don't know how long I will continue to do this and I don't know if I will buy a 5090.
Mind if I play through?
