Wahey! Just hit my first million Down from 8 threads to 7 now I have the 1080 Ti back in the system for folding (and crunching when available). Hope to have the memory to set up the Coffee Lake 6C12T ES system on Z370 later this month. Might leave it til I have finished clearing a couple of cc bills first though - being a spendaholic and a nerd aren't compatible with being on a low income

If you are running OPN1 be aware that there seem to be a memory leak. I saw up to 3 GB per unit. I modified my profiles in order not to kill my PC with WU waiting for memory. There are no official reply yet but it is brought to their attention.

Edit: Two Linux PCs, Windows might be unaffected.

 

[debs3759]

It doesn't seem to be a problem in Windows. I only have 1 opn1 running at the moment, but have hade a couple dozen or more since my last reboot, and still have over 9 GB of my 16 GB available

Good, that means that 95% of the team is OK. Somebody suggested to pause and resume but that didn’t work for me.

@debs3759 check again later. Crystal Pellet (Snurk and friends) said he has the same problem and he is a Windows guy.

 

[windwhirl]

No problems on Windows here.

Got 3 opn1 now, and it showed over 65% memory in use. Ran Wise Memory Optimiser, and got it down to 31% in use (with each task using between 580M and 860M). So they may be leaking memory after all. Will keep WMO running to keep it optimised. That has me convinced that I'll need 32GB for the Coffee Lake system, to be on the safe side.

 

[mstenholm]

FYI - OPN1 are put on hold until they find a fix for the memory leak. No mentioning of OPNG but since they seem unaffected we will still get the odd one a few times a day, at least that’s what I think

Seasonic has been doing this a lot with their Core series PSU's. This will be the third one that I'm picking up (500,550,650), although one of them is for a friend's new build.

Edit: I've had zero problems with Seasonic rebates over the years.

I don't know whether to thank you or curse you for pointing me at this. Either way, three spare PSUs now inbound...

Today's Newegg Shell Shocker Seasonic power supply is the GX-500 (fully modular) at the same price as the GM-550 (semi-modular) above.

I do wonder why Seasonic is doing this.

I have the same wonder. These are like closeout/discontinued prices.

 

[thebluebumblebee]

I just hope it's not that there is a problem with these, like coil whine. Maybe getting ready for the new PCI-e 5 12 pin connector?

 

[80-watt Hamster]

How long have they been on the market? Seems like lifecycle for a lot of models is about 18mo.

 

[stinger608]

That's crazy! That is only $37 after the $10 rebate. Even at the $47 it's a great deal.

Hence why I'm trying to convince myself that I don't need three more spare power supplies.

You can relax today, no more deals that I see, other than an SF450.......

 

[phill]

Cant really get around to troubleshoot it still.

[thebluebumblebee]

Wow, they're really trying to get rid of them:

Hey folks, we cannot discuss buying/selling outside of the proper section of the forum. Please take it to PM if you wish to continue.

FreeDC is having problems with math. Their numbers for individual systems line up with WCG, but their totals do not.
Me, yesterday:
WCG: 343263/7=49,037
FDC individual systems: 49,083
Main team page: 63,309

Also, I wouldn't advise running a 3700X with the AMD Prism cooler. Too loud.

This morning, European time, the team and at least my total on the team main page was wrong. This is not the first time this had happened so I know to trust the source, not Free-DC. It does some iterations but as far as I can see it ends up getting it right, or so I thought. Yours are wrong for sure and so is mine and the numbers doesn't add up, yet.

I tried that cooler with my first 2700X, jikes. It lasted two days until I got a decent Noctua.

Edit: Here one day later the yesterday numbers has become 2 days ago numbers and they are correct for me and @thebluebumblebee.
Edit 2: and we are back to wrong numbers for 2 days ago…. @thebluebumblebee

Edit: So I just about screwed up everything with this post. 10% off sale at Newegg on beQuiet!


I have one of these edit: (Shadow Rock Slim) that has kept an OC'd 2600K cool and did it quietly. I think I'm going to move it to one of my 3700Xs. But $30? Wow.

The review you linked and the screenshot are of different products. (SRS vs. PR2) A 10% discount on the PR2 is nice, but that makes it $36, not $30. Still not bad given free shipping. I have a PR2 on a 9700K, and it's pretty decent.

EDIT: grammar

 

[thebluebumblebee]

ugh! I hate beQuiet!'s nomenclature. As is obvious in that post, their model names get me confused. I also need to go wash my glasses so that I don't see $10 when it clearly says 10%.
