Sigh, might be changing my x79 xeon system for a ryzen... :( as much as I like my 12C24T cpu working, i got issues recently.
It shuts down on its own, no temperatures or anything... it just does. maybe its bcoz of asus bios monitoring thing, anyhow its annoying AF.
Gotta get me a 2700 and a solid b450...

x79 was only yesterday, do you think that it is dying? Your replacement choice seems reasonable for PPD/watt. I was very close to press buy for a 3950x last night (all the cool kids fighting me for a top 5 position have one) but decided against it due to low funds so I hope that all my current HW will last 10 year from purchase.

Haha I am one of those kids :D :D :D
To be fair, as much as I love x79 ...like its so rare and so relevant still.
TDPs are in mid 100s and it has chipset fan for lower tiered MBs...
My 12C xeon give me same PPDs as my Ryzen 7 1700...
I can go stock fan, lower noise etc
one thing that sucks is I was literally hunting for this x79 for like 1 year -ish!
Maybe I should just keep it as collection like @phill-senpai does with his parts!

Ashlay just wrote me and said that her last ban was still in effect, until 2029. She is sad to put it mildly.

Yes, I know it is a big part of her life, so is being a part our forum. I sent a small plea to W1zzard.
 
Not sure what happened here.. why was the ban put in place?

I remember the aka's before.. I'm not sure what the problem was or why things went a little off the rails but I hope they are ok :) (I thought she was a he if I'm honest... I don't see many ladies on the forums, even more so PC ones...)
 
As of today, I have shut down all crunchers due to a surgical procedure happening tomorrow that will keep me from home for a few weeks. I will certainly turn them back on when I am back. I will be fine, but again, I will be out of my house for a while.

See you all on the flipside! I will have my lappy with me so I won't be totally incommunicado. :lovetpu:

Hope all goes well with your procedure and a speedy recovery to follow! :toast:
 
I wrote countless of posts about getting a 3950X. I will, maybe, just not right now. As some know I work outside Denmark when I work. New contract each time, no contract either unemployment pay if I bother or nothing. I manage to survive (pay my bills) with a lot of time off and I enjoy that. Herein is the trouble - my doctor think that I have cancer, so I have to stay home in Denmark to make sure that I can go to what ever it takes of tests/treatments and so on. It's possible a skin cancer with very good prognosis. I just needed to share.

On occasion, I've wondered if the work we're doing for WCG and F@H would ever be used for something that affected us directly. Some projects like the clean water simulations focused on developing nations seem unlikely for someone like myself who's not overly keen on travel but I thought maybe one day I'd buy a solar panel that had improvements from the clean energy simulations or something to that effect. With so many of our projects being related to cancer research, I mainly wondered how widespread an impact it would have and maybe even if one day it would help someone I know directly in some way. It's the research we hope we won't need and the research we're glad we have. I wish you the best, mstenholm.
 
Hi everyone :) I have Sophia's 1st birthday party tomorrow so I might not be able to get anything updated right away but I'll do my best when I can get 5 minutes :D :D

I hope everyone is doing well and I look forward to seeing the update tomorrow :D :D
 
@phill , would you message me? I have something to tell you but since your promotion, apparently, I'm not worthy to start a conversation with you. :laugh: Congratulations BTW!

Utter crazy talk sir!! But of course I will message you now :D :D
 
Procedure went well boys, but I contracted pneumonia from being intubated during the surgery. After a bit in the hospital dealing with that and then a couple weeks at my parent's house (i couldn't walk right away), I am happy to report I am home and my rigs are revving up. Expect ppd almost at my previous numbers, just wanna redo a single rig to run more efficiently. Then I will be full steam ahead!
 
Very glad to hear i all went well @Boatvan :D :D
 
About how effective is a 1700/x these days? It looks like they can be found for $100 or so on ebay...
