Them GPUs are pretty costly; these days I’d suggest holding off on buying it unless one holds a steady job.
that is unless you get one gifted or loaned to you. Then there are many ways to fit a big gpu in a slim case such as
case modding and cutting a hole in the cover so it looks like a hood of a muscle car with power cables protruding out
mounting the card sideways and using this or similar connector

using an adaptor to connect the power cable (couldnt find on MC site)

keeping the cover off for better ventilation, and if aesthetics must prevail turning the open side to a wall

1TM said: One way to check if you have set up passkey correctly and are getting bonus is to enter your folding username here: https://apps.foldingathome.org/cpuand see if "Got bonus" is 1. Bonus activates after passkey is set up and 10 work units are done.
kmiller922 said: I have a work unit for the gpu that's tried to upload since last night right now its tried 15 times but for some reason cant connect to the server any idea on how to help it get there
1TM said: I had two units like this yesterday from Ohio server 3.133.76.19, lost 5 hours and ~430K points as it got done, uploaded but server dumped the results, so these things happen. Sometimes servers just run out of storage space and need to wait for the next cloud to come by : ) to get your results uploaded. If you have an "unlimited" internet connection and other work is running, just let it be as eventually these servers will reopen for connection. Otherwise, read on.What is the message that server gives in the log? - I couldn't find a way to see the log on WebControl so you may need to open the AdvancedControl, as follows: in the bottom right of the screen there's usually clock, and next to it a caret ^ sign. Click on that, and a small menu opens, click on the colored molecule, then click AdvancedControl. The number of the stuck unit is in the Work Queue below showing as Sending. You may click on it, and info will show on the right. Note that sending unit ID number. Then in the upper middle click Log. Now that has a lot of text. Below that Log tab, if you check the box Unit and select the work unit number which can't get uploaded, the log will show messages just for this stuck unit.

A Fellow firefighter lost his battle against it and alsohave had some friends that have tested positive and are in the hospital now. I've taken notice in the descriptions for each unit change as they are now trying diffrent methods of possiable entry to fight it and I just want to do everything I possiably can as a friend and fellow first responder. I only look at the points for the team not so much for myself. I'm lucky enough to be in a possition to start to consider what new video card i'm going to get but like always when i've done builds in the past it always seems to be the hardest part.

To cool this monster, we opted for a 360mm AIO and special nano-fiber velcro ties. My use of an EATX motherboard made this far more difficult than it needed to be, as none of the standoffs lined up, resulting in me insulating the metal frame with a thick piece of foam and zip tying the board down.

The internal advanced viewer is not so bad if they are on the same network. If they aren't....then yeah. Not so good.I have a machine that has about a dozen of the important ones to watch. I don't miss having to run around and do the same thing on every machine. All I could hear in my head was..Buy it, use it, break it, fix it,Trash it, change it, mail, upgrade it

Still no go..............Is there additional configuration for the remote client?There is a mesh node (wired backhaul, no WiFi) & a switch between the 2 machines, but both are on the same network.Fahclient is allowed on private networks in Windows Defender Firewall.
