I'm adding one EHW t-shirt to the prize pool via the EHW store. If anyone else wants to put anything into the pot, let me know. We got to motivate people to fold in this heat

Yummy OCZ platinums

Welcome to the ExtremeHW 48-hour Folding Competition, July 22-23 00:00 *UTC* Countdown to Event Start Countdown to Event Stop ^^CLICK THOSE IF YOU LIVE SOMEWHERE NOT UTC TIME ZONE^^ How to participate: During the competition you must be folding for Team 239902 You must post in this thread with "IN" followed by your folding username (if different than forum name) for prize eligibility. Stats: You can view the stats for the foldathon here: https://ehwfoldingstats.lazypenguin.com Prizes: p.m. @damric if you have something suitable to give away* 1 EVGA Geforce RTX 2080 SUPER BLACK with HEATKILLER IV (stock heatsink also included), random draw (5WU minimum) 1 EXTREMEHW TSHIRT up for grabs: random draw (5WU minimum). Folding Time Prizes: tbd Excluded from Prizes: damric, firedfly, tictoc, iamjanco, supercrumpet (card) Mind the EVENT START TIMER as it is UTC time zone. Note: Stats are updated as soon as possible, but less frequent than desired. Just keep folding! Note: Extreme Team Members remember to use a different pass key than your ETF key (If you don't know what that is then it probably does not apply to you). Folding is stressful on hardware, and will often break an overclock unless it's been tested with folding. I do not recommend overclocking high end GPUs as the power draw can be extreme while folding. If anything, try tuning for energy efficiency. Casualties happen and EXTREMEHW can not be held accountable if you destroy your hardware while folding. Thank you for your participation! *must be approved so please send message in private before posting.

That poor card...that capacitor It's saying "help me"

I don't remember if I showed you guys but this is the reference card and accelero cooler I put on it. The stock VRAM/VRM heat sink fit under there no problem.

Ok so I could not get Afterburner Extreme version working properly, probably due to Windows 10. An old version of Trixx allows up to 1.5v but it crashed as soon as I changed anything and pressed apply. No idea. I don't think the LOD mod worked for me either. I've never used it before so I dunno. I did have success running from Radeon RAMdisk but it did not change my score enough to bother submitting. If anyone wants this card I'll send it to you. Competition ends July 15th.

You never know you might do better than me

@leeghoofd said you could use it https://community.hwbot.org/topic/225243-the-official-cheapaz-chips-round-1-radeon-hd-6850-thread/#comment-643190

No it's a reference card that I put an Arctic Accelero cooler on there that I had laying around. Your clocks are higher than mine so it should be faster. My CPU isn't even getting to 5GHz. There's a lot of score variance between runs so I ran it like 20 times. In the Radeon driver be sure to check the box for surface format optimization and texture filtering to performance.

What are you using for clocks and voltage? My score is just using regular Afterburner but I'm going to try the extreme version today or tomorrow. It's on an accelero but the office temps are almost 30C. I'll turn on the auxiliary window AC unit for my next run. Also there's an LOD mod that I haven't tried yet. Also I'm going to try a running it from a RAM disk.

Yeah been searching for the UP4 but haven't seen one yet

I have a Sabertooth AM3+ board coming with free FX-9590 from ebay and a kit of highly binned 4x4GB DDR3. I'm not sure I'll be buying more than that for this endeavor but we'll see. I should be able to run several categories with things I have on hand. If I can quickly bench and resell the AM3+ stuff I'll get an FM2+ board and APU for the iGPU category. I have a feeling that this won't resell and I'll end up making it a wall display

Rolls dice Winner of the soft tubing... @keeph8n Congrats dude you got ALL the prizes @Hequaqua please communicate with each other and ship said tubing

That's a LOT of points and WUs. Congrats everyone and thanks @firedfly for getting that score card working quickly!!!

I just got back. Yeah crazy storms in the south. Luckily we barely dodged them on our trail ride.

Bad thunderstorm knocked out the power around midnight so I lost 8 hours until I got around to restarting the clients this morning. Supposed to be more storms tonight...

1 hour 30 minutes until event start! I just lit off the RX 6900XT. Also the MI25 and a Quadro M4000. Hopefully nothing gets crashed or any power outages since I'm leaving town in the morning for the rest of the weekend. We have had some pretty gnarly thunderstorms this week but no interruptions so far. I'll check in from my phone in the hotel room when I can, but please direct questions and general complaints to our new Folding Team Staff member @firedfly Good luck to everyone and lets put up some points for EHW!!!

Ok so if this crappy MI25 had an MSRP of like $15,000, are these going to be going for $100K or what? How much is the Hopper? BTW I picked this MI25 up a couple months ago for like $65

lol if I knew how I would do one.

@axipher ? If not, we have a backup plan but it won't look as good as the score card that we have been using.

Usually the heat doesn't bother me, but it's been especially nasty with almost 100% humidity coming off of the Gulf of Mexico. The pet dogs don't even want to go for walks. They just want to lay on the floor in the air conditioning.

lol if it was that cool here then I'd be breaking the records
