Ummm...  Scrooge, that's 'multi-Billionaire!'     (...with a B...)     :*)

Ohhh, sorry... I mixed that up completely.

In German it's "Milliardär", in English 'Billionaire' of course. We count differently: million, milliard, billion, billiard, trillion etc. And we don't use colons as reading aid either... but instead as 'decimal point'... confusing...

The billionaire Scrooge who is just an insignificant Boinc 'millionaire' underappreciated the true billionaires... Oh dear!

Actually it doesn't really matter, a million, a billion or even a trillion credits on your stats sheet still won't get you a cup of coffee anywhere in the World.

But it can keep the coffee warm in a room full of computers and GPU's running All Sky 24/7 just don't spill it.....

they do pay me 10 cents for every credit as long as it is a secret

Actually my coffee gets colder the longer I sit in my computer room, I need to keep it in my insulated mug to even stand a chance of it staying warm enough to drink for a full hour. I'm not a chugger but a sipper and am not a fan of iced coffee.

I agree with you, I'm a sipper also!  I sometimes use an insulated cup/mug, but usually a big 16 oz ceramic mug and it stays warm enough to drink for about 1/2 hr.

Yup I'm the same way except mine are usually 14oz mugs, I've never actually measured them but 3 scoops of coffee and just over 6 cups of water in my Ninja coffee pot makes 2 cups of coffee in my mug, plus just a little bit extra so I don't drink any grounds that get thru.

Solution:

Ramp up the clock on a GPU until it is almost glowing, set coffee cup next to air outlet, coffee never gets cold, enjoy your higher RAC.

I'm a certified genius.

Thank you "dr Phil" for this answer. :D

Also, guys...found out that using single slot cards like Quadro 4000 series (even though it is RTX 4000 or at work RTX A4000) is a waste of time & money...as it throttles down too much! ;)

So, looking forward to go with some alternative...TITAN Xp or V would be my choice! Let me know if anybody got a fair price on one (in inbox). :)
