O.P. Updated with prizes from @iamjanco Note: We're having some technical difficulties with the score card since the server migration. Hopefully this will be solved before this even starts, but if it is not, then prizes will either be given at random or withdrawn and awarded for next month's comp. I know @axipher is doing his best to get it straightened out

Well I'm in 2nd place with just software voltage tweaking. /public/images/shield-competitions.png OC eSports ESPORTS.HWBOT.ORG Check out the content at esports.hwbot.org The guy in 1st, I think I saw his hard volt mod in a youtube video. I no longer have the patience of steady hands for that but I'll bet that some of you will and I hope you all blow me out of the water before this is over. While HWBOT forbids sharing hardware, it is possible to sell or give someone something, so this reference card with accellero is up for grabs when I am done with it.

Not that very much of the wallpaper will be showing with all the telemetry screenshots required and these cards seem to max out at 1080p on hdmi so it's very crowded

I don't know if I can wring any more performance out of the Heaven Basic DX9 benchmark: /img/logo.png Luke`s Unigine Heaven - Basic score: 2424.73 DX9 Marks with a Radeon HD 6850 HWBOT.ORG The Radeon HD 6850 @ 1050/1250MHzscores getScoreFormatted in the Unigine Heaven - Basic benchmark. Lukeranks #null worldwide and #12 in the hardware class. Find out more at HWBOT. Even 2MHz more on GPU core or VRAM crashes it. There isn't much 3D settings to tweak in the driver from what I saw. I just set texture filtering to performance and surface optimization ON. I used the latest compatible legacy driver and the version of afterburner I already had installed. Voltage was pushed to 1.3v and extended unofficial clocks. I ran the bench about 5 times and saw a lot of score fluctuation as much as like 20 points so I don't know maybe I'll run a few more times. One thing I may try is running from a RAM disk.

Competition started June 1st and goes until July 15th. /img/logo.png Cheapaz Chips Round 1 Radeon HD 6850 @ HWBOT HWBOT.ORG Level 1 OC-ESPORTS competition running from 6/1/23, 12:00 PM till 7/15/23, 12:00 PM. I will edit this soon and make pretty but right now I'm benching this card Post your questions, advice, pictures, and results here so that the team captains can inspect and make sure we haven't accidentally broke any rules.

Hopefully things are working in two weeks for the June foldathon. If not, then I'm all ears for a backup plan.

Thank you Jan!!!

Last month I donated one of them official EXTREMEHW white ball caps as the top prize. Would someone be generous enough to donate something for this month's prize, preferably from the EHW Store? A sticker set would be nice, or perhaps a matching mug and coaster, or do the hat again those are great!

Welcome to the ExtremeHW 48-hour Folding Competition, June 17th-18th 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. Stats: We will be using a different stats tracking site for this foldathon. 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* @iamjanco is donating one matching EHW Mug and Coaster, and a hat for top score (see below he said no cloud GPUs). @Hequaqua is donating one box of Masterkleer PVC Tubing 10' 3/8" ID 1/2" ID new in box from FrozenCPU. This will be a random prize to anyone who completed 5 WUs and he is happy to ship it wherever you are, as long as it is in the USA. Folding Time Prizes: tbd Excluded from Prizes: @Alex 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 participating in foldathon.

Have you tried tuning a super low power folding profile? I bet you can get amazing points at just 100W. Also put your CPU in ECO mode 35 or 45w and it should also still be very fast.

I'm looking at June 17th-18th for the next foldathon. I'll make a post about 2 weeks prior as usual. Next time we should give away a mug and a coaster from the EHW store.

@NBrock @Alex @Fluxmaven

Congrats @firedfly I'll get with you and get you your ballcap!!! Well done everyone!!!

8 hours to go and a tight race at the top! Who wants the white hat the most?

Also updated the countdown timer link COUNTDOWN TO EVENT STOP

We're going to let the contest continue for another 24 hours since we had a hiccup with the score card. I'll update the OP

I really meant for it to start Friday night I mean Saturday morning at midnight? Yes I really messed up the time zones myself this time around

The score card seems to be doing something now

None.

Seems fine to me on my 56K dial-up

I'm sure you'll make the right decision

BUMP because this is awesome

What's sad is I probably have enough old fans in storage bin to build that myself. I hate throwing away things that function ><

I'm investigating. It's possible that I had a miscommunication with @axipher Let's see what he says. Worst case scenario is that the server didn't start tracking and we have to push the event start back to tonight.
