Hi guys, The market is full with PCIE 1x slot to 4x PCIE 16x converters, for mining. For folding, the preferred minimum is a PCIE 3.0 1x slot per card. Using a PCIE 1x slot to 4x slots of PCIE 16x ,would slow down each card considerably, and is not recommended. My motherboard has 1x PCIE 16x...

3-5W for RAM, the CPU needed to run at full speed. System has been replaced by another, more efficient system.

Either Linux or Windows, how can I overclock the IGP (Integrated Graphics Processor)? I have a HP 11, with a dual core, Intel Celeron N3060. The CPU speed is 1,6Ghz, with a 2,48Ghz boost, but the cooling of the laptop is so good, it constantly runs at 2,48Ghz. I have no complaints about...

I have a Killawatt meter. And 5Watts, equals $5 a year. Server runs 24/7.

It may not be good, but it works just fine for older hardware (up to GTX 1060), and on a reset, or CTRL+ALT+DELETE, the fan doesn't ramp up to full speed. This server was probably never meant to run bitcoin or folding with many graphics cards. It does have about 6 SATA ports, and can run 16-23GB...

GTX 950 is using a lot more power.

Hi all, I have a Xeon E5 2650 V2 (10 core, 20 threads), and a V4 (12 cores, 24 threads) system. Both running Windows 10 home 64bit. They were part of a server system before, but now are doing bitcoin mining and folding. Actually, only the graphics cards are folding. The CPUs aren't very...

I went with Gigabyte, simply because the passive heat sink seems like it can cool the card better. And it does! It runs higher overclock, and between 50-58C at maximum overclock and stress test (folding).

Proponent for the OC version, passive cooled. If you can get your hands on one, they can get overclocked quite nice! Especially when given sufficient cooling. There are 2 ways of cooling this card. One is to mount a fan on it. They're pretty cheap. Second is to cause a cool airflow to pass by...

Can AMD run side to side with Nvidia for mining or folding? I'm currently running 2x GTX cards, and want to add a new amd 7nm card, when they come out.

Thanks Faalin, you found a name I couldn't even find! It brought me to their local website http://www.xlzmotherboard.com/ With google translate, I'll see what I can understand from that site. The boards are solid and good, but won't run GTX 1070 or higher, or RTX cards. The bios is pretty...

How many people of this thread are still here? I am just reflecting on an 8 year old thread XD! In the end, I went with a Brix PC for my internet needs, and a Xeon server for my workloads. Never needed to worry about RAM, as my server has 4x4GB of RAM, and my brix has 2 sticks of 4GB of RAM...

Hi, I'm using my PC for folding. Folding doesn't use a lot of PCIE bandwidth. Is there a reason why there are no USB 3.0 to PCIE 16x slots available? I realize that a USB 3.0 is about 1/2 the speed of a PCIE 1x slot, but that might just work on a GT 1030 card externally for folding!

Genuine Dell 160W Power Supply PSU For OptiPlex GX280 Small Form Factor (SFF) and Dimension 4700C Systems Part Numbers: R5953, U5427 I salvaged this sucker, and want to use it to power 2x graphics cards. I am already powering a GT 1030 from the SATA cable from the PSU. That's 26W continuous...
