My room is in the basement 😖

I'm about $1500 into a headless box built specifically for this project, I'll probably add 2 more gpu's over the next month and call it good at that. My room is already over heating
-
So at this point we may be #211 in the overall all time ranking, we have cracked the top 100 for monthly contributions

Back to 120%, over 600k in 4 hours XD I'm coming for that top spot and I got more on the way. I think i'm going to need a larger PSU XD

Thank you for your opinion. Unfortunately it disagrees with actual real world experience. I have FaH installed on three other computers (all Windows 10 based) that all work fine and have the GPU.txt file in the folder. This computer when it installs would not install the GPU.txt and would not recognize the GPU even after manually adding it to the config until I put the GPU.txt file in the folder.
I stand by my solution even if you disagree with it. Disagreement is not going to change how I got it to work however.
bro i went into the folder and manually deleted the gpu.txt file just to prove a point, the gpu reset it's progress and it downloaded a new WU and actually started to process it albeit it was gonna take 2 days it says to work it out and the point gain was only going to be about 1508, it still did it. the more interesting thing it did though and i shit you not WAS GRAB THE FILE FROM THE INTERNET automatically and re-add it to the appdata directory and with one swift reboot it re detected my gpu once again as the 2060 with the most utd wrong die info such as the tu106. call your foreman or figure it out. there's something wrong with your set up. -edit that's real world experience 😉
now excuse me, i got my main pc to go get back online another 2060 to install and a list to of people to obliterate on the team. squirrels coming in hot tonight!

the gpu.txt has nothing to do with the program running correctly see below

Nope. GPU.txt wasn't anywhere to be found after the install. I had to manually put it there to get it to see the GPU. I tried a dozen other methods. This was the only one that worked.
then you're doing it wrong
-
Furthermore the gpu.txt file is only to report the gpu info to the client and isn't always correct in reporting that information anyways. It's a generic list.

When I reinstalled Windows I had an issue where my gpu wasn't showing up, only the CPU was. I had to go into the options and manually add it and reboot the client. It had nothing to do with the driver's or the "gpu.txt" file, the latest version will have the most recent version of that file already.

Timestamp 20:21 for information on gpu rates if interested, it's in the video description.
-
I'd say do a clean install of the client

Anyone else having issues getting GPU work units?
They send them out as they're generated and requested, sometimes it takes a while for the servers to allocate them. They kinda come in waves.

Pretty difficult to destroy a CPU nowadays with heat, they will shut themselves down typically first. You sure you don't want to try an AIO or one of those Noctua coolers that can beat some water coolers just in case? Cheaper and under warranty and all that. That's why I've never entertained the idea of a custom loop - just too much expense and headache for absolutely no gain at all temp-wise or energy-wise.
Can't use a aio on my Mobo, it's an ASRock x570 aqua, and trust me the whole custom loop thing has been trying my patience something fierce. This is just the most recent issue.

gpu's yield the best point gains because of their vastly superior floating point operations/calc's per second, my 3950x would get me about 9k-12k points per wu and take twice as long to process than my 2070s which would gain 150K-200K per wu, basically the point gain is determined by their benchmark system which i believe is powered by a 1060 base model then how much more quickly and efficiently your system runs "comparable" wu scales up the multiplier. this is why I have been sourcing as many evga 2060 ko ultra's as i can. evga has been putting tu104 dies in these cards, it's the same die that's in the 2080 and my 2070S, they have fused off the "gaming/gfx" side of the die to limit performance to that of a regular 2060 but left the workstation features intact. these features that weren't fused off vastly improve 2 things I'm interested in and that is F@H and crypto mining. https://www.tech-critter.com/evga-rtx-2060-ko-tu104-150-rtx-2080/
at $300 a pop or $320 for the ultra, their gold to me

Well I'm down atm, my open loop pump/reservoir on my main gaming rig had a failure and I had to order a new one. Hopefully it didn't damage my 3950x if it did then I'll be out the $750 for the cpu in addition to the $170 for the new pump :/, still got a third 2060 ko ultra on the way though to add to the arsenal. I'll be up to 3 of them by friday. shiz getting expensive XD. climb while you can I'll be back in full force on friday.

Let me say that I'm going to exclude myself from the rewards pool, l'm not in this for the merits or costume powers.
