Re: Any recommendations for inexpensive secondhand GPUs?

1060s are great value for that purpose. You can get them for slightly more than 50$.

Re: GPU CORE22 0.0.2 coming to ADVANCED - p11737 feedback th

Is it to be expected that Core22 will require more PCI bandwidth? My 1060 that is on a 1x riser sees a drop in PPD with p11737 and it looks like the PCI bus is saturated (Nvidia control panel showing 80+% utilization). A 2060 and 1660 Ti in 8x slots on the same machine see a significant increase in...

VNC is not encrypted so do not use it outside local network.

Re: Ubuntu 18.04, FahCore returned: UNKNOWN_ENUM (127 = 0x7f

Linux tutorial on official page is a disgrace for F@H project.
It recommends outdated client (v7.4.4), outdated Python fix and makes no mention of need to download opencl when using Nvidia drivers.

Re: Best PCIE 1x risers

Thanks for explanation, I thought that all the power delivery is handled via X1 segment of PCIE slot.

Re: Best PCIE 1x risers

How come those teeny tiny wires used for ribbon risers do not melt/catch fire when subjected to 75W of power draw?
As opposed to big fat cables found on Sata power connectors that are somehow not recommended due to being prone to melting/catching fire?

Re: Lowering CPU frequency?

Undervolted and underclocked with no loss in PPD.
How can it be less than optimal?
The point is undervloting AND underclocking.
Also worth noting, the machine is dedicated folder.
When running remote desktop I see lower GPU usage, so this scenario is obviously not recommended for desktop use.

Re: Lowering CPU frequency?

I have dual core Athlon (the one from 2008) undervolted (to lowest value allowed by BIOS) and downclocked to 1.8Ghz, feeding two 1060s without drop in PPD.
So, go ahead!
