$50 $100 and a mention in my sig for a month for the person that can beat @BWG (highest wins the prize)

And it can't be hertz' account or someone receiving help from @BWG 

If 2 or more folders combine their forces the prize will be split evenly between them.

OMG, here we go! He just doesn't want to bake himself in his place for 4 days straight!

 

 

[Bastiaan_NL]

Haha, you have no idea... The poor hardware needs to survive to fight another day!
But I will run max effort anyways, all I know is I can't beat you

[BWG]

You could just spend $100 on cloud GPU's like @firedfly

[Bastiaan_NL]

I figured putting a bounty on your head would be better for the total production during the FaT.

And I'm hoping @firedfly will rent cloud GPU's for $99 so he can hang that last dollar on the wall

Don't worry, I won't let @BWG win

[Bastiaan_NL]

Just so you guys know what you are up against... 
And no, that's not me. I'm here enjoying my personal Sirocco

Nice ! I've got to get the CFP online soon so you can look at it. Time and now heat is punishing me.

The heat is not too bad over here, but with over 2kwh in one room it'll heat up pretty fast. So for now I can only fold full power with the windows open, which I'm only doing if I'm at home and awake.
I can't wait to see that system online, would really help our way up the ranks but I do understand that the extra heat dump into the house is not really wanted at this time of the year.

I put the 3080ti in and am over 50 million now. Stock clocks though. I'll tune tomorrow.

Little under 3 hours left on the ocn foldathon, but I stayed up late to overclock all 14 GPUs for folding. This is a bit of a mess, but it's all crunching. Will switch back to ehw at 12:30 or so.

I'm pretty sure E had this competition mixed with the Team Folding competition.

 

I'm switching my hardware to 239902, though I'm waiting for everything to cool down a little. 
It's 86°F in the living room, I have no idea how hot it is in the office but I'm slowly melting

[Compaddict]

I didn’t see the teams event, now I get it.

 

Sadly more than a few days during the summer really jacks up my electric bill so I have to pass on this one. Winter should be a different story when I can use the heat. 

 

Looks like fun, hope it goes well.

[BWG]

Alright, I'm all switched over to 239902 as well. OCN point total was 218,573,390 for the 2 days, so let's smash that! Let the good times roll!

 

What do you fold usually @Compaddict? You were going to do a little for this one, right?

[Compaddict]

I’m folding in the 3 day events, I don’t want to get too rusty. lol
