I have been running distributed computing projects since January 2002 starting with United Devices, then Think, then World Community Grid, Rosetta@Home, Folding@home, GpuGrid, Poem and some I may have forgotten. Until a few months ago, I had run Folding@home on two AMD video cards. I became frustrated with poor stats in comparison to the nVidia cards and looked for a project more suited to double precision performance. I am running PrimeGrid double precision (FP64) work units, GFN-22. Since I have two AMD Radeon 7990 video cards, this chart explains why I run GFN-22.
In February (2019), the month that I celebrated my 76th birthday, I bought a rack in order to build a better rig. First photo. The current configuration is running two AMD Radeon HD 7990 video cards. The AMD R9 390 is idle until I win an auction on eBay for a second power supply. I am not running any work units on the six core AMD Ryzen 5 2600 since I have four AMD GPUs running. Recent photo. I prefer access to the business end, not the front. Excuse the wire management, it is a work in progress. The motherboard is a Biostar TM350-BTC Pro. Nothing is overclocked.
I recommend a rack such as mine for accessibility and cooling. It is only 13 inches tall, 13 inches front to back, and 25 1/4 inches wide and is lighter than a case.
I am running Windows 10 Pro because I was unable to get it to crunch Folding@home using Ubuntu and some other distros. I am going to try it again soon with BOINC.
If you ask me any questions, you may get more than a yes or no! :-D
