Tp4 savn' up 4 maybe a 3070+ryzen laptop.To be honest i would go for very low power on the laptop, and use a vnc or rdp to connect to the much more powerful desktop/s currently planing to rebuild my old rig (FX8150 R9-280) for folding and heating and building a R5 2600 + RX5600XT as my new "gaming" rig, given how little gaming i do nowadays should be pretty adequate. and maybe when dual C32 motherboard prices go down rebuilding my vm experimentation rig.
annnn possibly a 3090 or Radeon equivalent for desktop..
wha'chaal lookn' @ in the coming monthsShow Image(https://i.imgur.com/HmeSYmM.jpg)
What do you have your 8150 clocked at, I used to get 41k PPD from my 5.1GHZ 8350 when I started doing competitive folding.right now stock clocks, and seeing if the cheap motherboard will be stable with that, then if it does a day or 2 without crashes i may go and try to reach the 5GHz again although last time i did was with a 4100 and it did not survive... and i am not going the competitive route, i already had a 61k ppd rig but the motherboard fried (the dual opteron rig) and both use the same fury gpu so likely not gonna see a huge difference as the gpu was doing most of the work there.
I'm waiting on the 2080 crash to happen, seems panic selling has slowed, but prices should still continue to drop. Probably when the 3070 and again when the 3060 drops.
November/December should be a good time to buy a used card.
Other than that I'm fine with my setup, I may get a bigger ssd, and if prices plummet on them I want to switch my server over to SSD as well.
nothing! still happy with my setup and hoping to stay satisfied. i don't want to keep having dumb reasons to keep upgrading.This, pretty happy with the setup atm.

What do you have your 8150 clocked at, I used to get 41k PPD from my 5.1GHZ 8350 when I started doing competitive folding.well if you care 4.1GHz is the max that the motherboard can do it crashes at 4.11GHz even overvolted by half a volt and i messed up it is a 8350, still with the r9 nano/fury x overclocked i get 110kppd, so pretty decent chunk of compute, and heating 10C without turning the heaters on :)
so far my 6900k and 1080ti do a good job warming my desk area at home when folding lol (1.8 mill PPD out of the CPU & GPU running together). But the Fury's have been good compute monsters when the driver set is selected for compute rather than graphics in the Adrenalin drivers - I know it makes my son's 580 push 350k PPD when I set it up right on the undervolted tune I have for it, but I don't fold his 3770 since i need to get a better heatsink for it if I plan on doing that.well i still have rooky numbers haven't, i. although i am a bit surprised at the performances of the 580 as if i recall correctly the fury should beat it in graphics, or i may have everything set up wrong, i have not even found the compute setting in Adrenalin. and a 212 should be enough for a 3770, no?
Yeah if I were to put a H212 on the 3770 that would do better than the generic Thermaltake top down brick of a cooler I have on it now (bought it as a better option over the Intel stock cooler). I would put the CoolerMaster 120mm AiO I have but I'm having trouble finding the Intel mounting hardware I had for it - I used it on a Phenom II x6 1055t I originally had in my son's machine, so it still has the AM3+ mounting bracket on it lol.i think coolermasters AIO are rebranded asetek so at worse finding a used bracket should be cheap, and maybe even easy
DELID makes a bigger difference than the choice in cooler.on new intel yeah, on amd/old soldered intel, not nearly as much and it is much harder as it is soldered if i recall correctly intel stopped using soldered ihs with skylake so the 3770 is way before that, and all high power amd parts are soldered, and going from stock-ish to a h212/120 AIO will likely result in a bigger difference, true that if you go from an nhd14 to an nhd15 you may look at better results deliding, depend on what you have and where you are going.
gonna try to snag a 2080/s/ti for sub 400, should be able to sell my 1070 ti for 200-250 so it shouldnt be too much more
gonna try to snag a 2080/s/ti for sub 400, should be able to sell my 1070 ti for 200-250 so it shouldnt be too much moreYou need to sell that NOW if you expect that much for it, 3060 and 3070 drop later this month which will trigger another price drop. AMD is also dropping cards this month all in prep for the November shopping sales.

2080's are already hitting that number, not good ones, but they're there.
I'm really wondering if they can actually deliver the volume this holiday. it seeems pretty tight.
