2,433,903,849 points and 2493 units in 48 hours, insane... Thanks for the good times everyone, take care

Oh man, you can make it work! We need to push it one last time

Just put it in the living room, I do that too

Haha nah, it only strengthened my bond with the moderation team at HWBot because of all the chats we had about it

Thanks for the kind words guys. It wasn't an easy decision but I need a new challenge to keep growing in this hobby. I found some great friends here some of which I've seen several times in person and I know we'll meet again soon. Thanks for the good times and

Ha, I actually had to search for some of the hardware. Some of the competition stages are interesting, I look forward to see what we can do together

Hey everyone, soon the 2024 HWBot Team Cup will start again. If you feel like helping the EHW team with a few benchmarks and you haven't signed up already, make sure to DM me! We can talk about what hardware we are still looking for and I can add you to the spreadsheet. Feel free to discuss the competition, rules and other related subjects here but know that the other teams are always lurking in the shadows

Always trying to get one of the stickers in the picture

Nice Pretty happy with a PB for a foldathon! All systems are finishing now, time to cool down..

2006 was before my time. I started somewhere in 09 for OCN and had a bit less units for 2bil compared to 8bil for EHW. Living at my parents place at the time, running bigadv units on i7's which was almost better than running gpu's (I still had 6 of them online). I don't remember the actual PPD, I think a bigadv unit was somewhere over 100k points and took a little over a day. @zodac was the one who dragged me into folding, good times. Also, 5 GPU's online atm: (I even had to use a full system as a cooling tower for the bench as I stole the bench rad for the one on the pool table )

Good times! I remember having 6 GPU's folding on the X299 Sage board and a few spread over different systems. A lot of heat and a big powerbill, even with the lower electricity price at the time. But remember, always look at how many units someone folded and not only at the points. I can't compare with some of the OG's who had hardware online for 15 years. The current generation of hardware is just silly, 30mil points on a single GPU was what took us weeks back in '10.. Anyways, I gotta get some hardware together for another system as I need to beat @Avacado

Linux is king, but I'm just running on W10 (existing installs) for a quick FAT. I'm not even sure how the conversation went, but @firedflymentioned the FAT so why not. I slowed down my folding output two years ago and the last card folding was taken offline around 1.5 years ago. The power is too expensive

For now I have a 4090, 3090 and a 3070Ti online. The bottom card shown in the picture (2080Ti) is running like sh..., so sadly will be taken down.

Ha, at least not me. I'm putting together hardware as we speak Get well soon
