Congratulations @firedfly for the win, and congrats TEAM 239902 for the massive amount of points and work units over the last 72 hours. We laid the beat-down on team reddit. My random prize drawings for the folding benches: @Fluxmaven @Cerberus @CharliesTheMan P.M. me your shipping addresses. @bonami2 and @neurotix pick your winners and post them here so they can claim prizes. Next month is the ANNUAL 96-hour, then after that we go back to 48-hour monthlies in April.

Dude we had to put our AC on today. It's ridiculously warm outside. I went mountain biking wearing hardly anything today. It should not be this warm until May, but it is.

I had the WMI get corrupted on both my #2 and #3 folding benches. I blame a bad windows update. I'm trying to get Michele's ETF rig back up now with Linux Mint, but I'm lost on how to set it up right so I'm about to flush it and try Windows 10 or 11.

Whelp, just noticed Michele's ETF rig wasn't folding, or doing anything except failing to load windows. Will have to fix it tomorrow. Probably going to try linux because I'm tired of windows updates breaking my stuff.

I feel you. I had to pause main rig for about 2 hours so I could play some Midnight Suns

I think my eyes are going bad or maybe I worked out too hard.

Looks awesome! Dust problem can be solved with https://www.amazon.com/Precisionaire-Hammock-Filter-Media-Ft/dp/B000LNP7IG/ref=sr_1_7?crid=390FC14CPH5K1&keywords=fiberglass+nest+filter+roll&qid=1676747886&sprefix=fiberglass+nest+filter+roll%2Caps%2C92&sr=8-7 You cut it and put it in front of your intakes. On a lot of cases you can put it directly behind the front panel. Wear gloves.

Ok that ICEGIANT and that big-assed card look absolutely ridiculous on that itx board. I love it

Take a few hours to get the initial scores. Something about servers validating things, sitting in queues, buffering, the cloud, and those balloons that got popped.

BUMP Just over 4 hours to go until START

BUMP

This with MPT at 450W but no added voltage. I might try that if we get a cold day.

Put it on a yeti-style cup and I'll buy it.

Are we setup good to go for data start and stop times for this one? also BUMP

That's interesting. Is it new or like most things I just never noticed

Two 4090s? Still going to kill if you can keep them running all 3 days

You better finish those work units

I mostly love this guy's Maiden covers but this Metallica one is top notch.

BTW, 5600G is an amazing CPU. Mine could Turbo up over 4.8GHz with PBO +200 and 104 bclk and it runs so much cooler compared to 2700X.

That's what I was thinking like one of the old 125W coolers.

Which stock cooler is that? Reminds me of an older one. The Wraith Prisms have stupid heat pipe gaps that need extra TIM in the cracks. BTW, I have a couple extra if anyone wants one. I found they work pretty well. All my Wraith Stealths I steal the fans off because those are worthless coolers

Done. Any WU requirement on these? I'm requiring 10 WU for the cases. bonami2 only requiring 1 WU for the key. Both random draw.
