What about Super Whiskey then?

 

[BWG]

Yes, that will do.

I'm going to take a pass on this one... there is a high chance of severe storms here.  Power is already unreliable here and I'm not sure how much I trust my old (10 yrs +) UPS to work properly under full load.  If things settle down, I may jump in for a few work units, but just leave me out of the prize drawing if I do.

[Supercrumpet]

I'm in!

Don't think I don't see your numbers @Bastiaan_NLHow many of your families cards do you have running for this one? 

 

I found out my grandma upgraded her HTPC with a 3080, so she was generous enough to let me use it for the comp

But seriously, it's only the main six cards folding: 2x 3090, 2080ti, 2080s, 1660ti and the 1650s. Pretty hot in the house right now, I'm sure I had a few good units looking at all the temps!

I can take that question. Enough to beat the whole team combined?

Not if everyone is online, maxing out at a little over 30 mil ppd if every client is working on a "good" unit. Lowest today was 21 mil with 13466 units on all the cards.

He already lost. Last month. I as the reigning champion will gladly accept him getting dolled up as a prize. 

Haha, I'm not going to do that

How the hell did your grandma get a 3080 and I can't find anything but a 1050.  THATS IT! I'm becoming a Nederlander.

There are cards in stock over here, but the webshops are scalpers now... For a 3080 they are asking well over what I paid for a 3090 a few months ago, I really feel sorry for anyone thinking that it's worth the money. 
And feel free to become a Nederlander, if you don't mind paying $0.30 per KWH

It would have been cool, but she doesn't care about anything tech related.

Will it blow up ?

haha, i don't think this is enough watts to cause any issues. the m1 is amazing!

[Avacado]

Expecting severe weather in my area tonight. Hope the power grid holds, but it's unlikely.  Might go down at some point.

 

Also, @Bastiaan_NL I have not seen any of those good WUs you talk about. I think they might only be for the 3 series.

Off to the races! Had to shut off the R9 Fury X due to tripping the circuit breaker, but we got the 980 ti, 1080, Vega 64, and 2070 going strong.

Bring on the HEAT!

[Avacado]

Bah! Knew it was coming. Based on my update, looks like the power failed at my house. Whelp GG.

 

Iv'e got the 2 2x2080TI rigs on UPS's. Though they can only go 5 minutes while folding. The Teslas aren't so fortunate.

There is a lot more difference between a 'good' vs 'bad' unit on a 3090 than a 2080. The 13446 units are around 6.5 mil ppd, a 16604 unit is around 8.2 mil ppd and a 17730 can be up to 9.4 mil ppd.

Not until I can get home, but storms are supposed to turn severe overnight. I might just stop the rigs all together till morning. I don't want to risk it. 

[BWG]

Pretty tight race between @Simmonsand @Simmons

 

 

 

Cheater!

I would do the same with lightning, but besides that there's not a big chance of power loss over here.
Stay safe
