There's always that guy Usually it's @Fluxmaven

Welcome aboard all you last minute and late-comers. I just got confirmation of two nice coolers from be quiet! so I put links and images in the original post. Those two coolers are USA/Canada only per, be quiet! I forgot to add that in, but it will have to wait until tomorrow as I'm off to bed. Good luck everyone!

oh they are dry-fit? That will actually be perfect for me living in the sweaty south

ahh not even for 4 days?

like representing the whole forum? It's cool. We got guys from various forums

Nothing wrong with that. That explains how they can put up some massive points! We eagerly await seeing the crunching power that your equipment can output.

Welcome aboard. Glad to have you! @ENTERPRISE he's having trouble with the rig builder, but man I'm just in awe. Mark, that's some awesome equipment!

CORSAIR Sponsored prizes added to original post. 8 nice ones

Some in-house prizes added to the original post. Hopefully I edited them correctly

yeah PM @firedfly or myself when you know for sure.

Good question: @Avacado we handing out participation ribbons or what?

Now time to bump this thread. @pututu your turn to bring some guys and crunch with us for a few days next month.

Team did great though. We know team EVGA, especially our friend @CoolGTX really crunch hard, so it was unexpected for us to do this well. Thanks @pututu for the score feed, and [H] for hosting. Don't forget that next month is OUR second annual folding competition, and luckily we only do 48 hours

Thanks for the contribution!

The big die GPUs get most of the performance from parallelism of all those compute cores. I'd be interested to see what clocks and voltage you can manually tune for 150w.

You can get that card down below 150w and not sacrifice much folding capability. When I'm not trying to heat the house or run up the power bill I just set it to 80% core frequency and 90% voltage (seems to stay around 2000MHz 800mV). I've been a bit more aggressive this week though.

What makes a WU expire? Could be a few things, like maybe you shut it down before it finished then forgot. It could be that something was unstable like a bad overclock and it decided to abandon the WU. There's also simply some bad work units (my opinion). In the advanced viewer, click the logs and check the box that says warnings and errors. That might tell you something. But yeah remember this is 7 days, really a very harsh endurance run. Definitely not a sprint. So adjust your clocks to make sure they are 100% stable. If you are concerned about power or heat, try tuning for efficiency. The big GPUs can run like 80-85% clock speed and still churn out the work units while consuming half the power.

@Sir Beregond the 10 is minumum total on a new user/key combination to start getting the qrb. No worries if you haven't got 10 yet, you'll get there in probably less than 24 hours then your points will be huge after that. Just keep folding as much as you can.

If you feel like your points are LOW, check here to make sure that you are getting the quick return bonus: https://apps.foldingathome.org/bonus You need a minimum of 10 WU completed and over 80% not failed. That seems low for the Ryzen 3600. I have a stock Ryzen 1600 folding on 4c8t and it's at least getting like 90K And I mean stock like 3700MHz core, DDR4-2133 lol. Maybe give it a couple hours then check the ppd again?

Sorry I meant to do that. Thanks for reminder. I put the link in the second post. I don't think that one updates quickly at all, like maybe twice it updated today.

It's about another half million, worth it to me considering that's more than some of my GPUs are putting out Funny he only has a Wraith Prism but it's keeping it cool, only 75C while folding, amazing!

Ethan said we can fold on his gaming PC so that's another 5800x and RX 6600 into the mix (under MicheleEHW).

yeah like firedfly said, request a passkey from f@h so that you get the quick return bonus. The qrb kicks in after 10 WUs completed, then your points will be huge.

Reminder, we're about 16 hours until start. Get those folding rigs started so you can iron out any last minute issues!
