Finally figured out the "e-waste" context. Several of us have run through that version of the Intel CPU. I think Ian&SteveC had a 11 slot MB running that edition. I don't think a Rx 7600 GPU is "e-waste".
That is a robust system!

My goal was to get on the leaderboards, and I have officially done that in both the computers and participants lists.
Originally, I was content just putting to use two old GPUs I had laying around, but I found a seller willing to sell 7 Nvidia P4000 GPUs for about $500 USD. Even today, these things a pretty powerful. My problem now if just finding enough PCIe slots to put them in...

Hi TakeTwiceDailey! Welcome to Einstein@Home!
Sounds like you made a haul for your $500. If you want to keep them all in a single box, may I suggest ASUS ?
In my experience they do work the best, but of course there are others... though not too many.
Then all you need to figure out is what to get for your CPU, memory, PSU, HDD/SSD, computer case with GOOD airflow, FANS that provide the airflow needed to keep everything cool... or at least cool enough... and... well, I think you get the picture.
Have fun! We'll be watching for you!
.....[EDIT].....
I assume that these 7 Nvidia P4000 GPUs you acquired are of 8GB memory capacity. Anything less than 8GB will have difficulty running most Einstein projects.
My budget isn't quite that high, I have an HP Z840 Workstation that has 3 P4000's in it at the moment, but it can take another 2 with an additional PSU, and potentially one more if I can fix a ram clearance problem. Then the rest can go in my other machine. Making this work as-is is part of the fun.
Yes, they have 8GB each. There is some linux reporting issue where it lists as 4096MB on this website and in some desktop software and it seems to affect some others on this site as well. Not sure why that is the case. These GPUs run the O3AS at 3X just fine.

What version of BOINC are you running in Linux? The later versions will report your GPU's correct ram.
If you are running 3x O3AS apps, but your GPU is only showing 4 GB of RAM, I wouldn't worry about it. BOINC does recognize that you have 8GB but is only showing 4GB. Like I said, the later versions of BOINC do show this correctly.
You might want to review this website and figure out how you're going to run them.
P.S. - You might want to consider moving this thread out of "Milestones" and into it's own thread in the Cruncher's Corner. You just might get some more responses.
Passed well over 200M on Einstein@home, making it the most credited BOINC project I have participated. ????
Unless GPUGrid restarts again soon. ????
WOO HOO!!! Congratulations that's quite a milestone!!!
And GPUGrid IS giving out tasks right now, in fact I've gotten 10,950,000 credits so far today and got 21,975,000 GPUGrid credits yesterday. In fact they have
