Hadn't checked on the rigs at all but remoted into them a bit ago. (Lots of zooming in attempting this from my phone ). Found the GPU slot failed on the 2080. I'm not sure how long that was down for. 

 

@mx500torid what all hardware are you running? We finished super close. IIRC we were really close in 24hour average last month too. Either way, good job

 

Well my room got really hot lol. 6800 XT, 5700 XT, 2080, 980 Ti, and I did 3 wu on my laptop 1060. We were neck and neck though. Fun times!!

Heat is my biggest enemy currently. Will be nice when winter comes so I can really push everything. 

 

I was running a 3090 @ 69% power limit, a 2080 that stopped folding at some point, and a 1080ti

With the late start I was only able to get a few million in, but I did make up for the lost time yesterday. 

Fired up a few things this morning and I'll just let them fold away for a few days.

I've been folding still off and on. Just not as active on any of the forums these days. How has everyone been?

Pretty good, and how's life treating you?

If any of you are interested in helping us out with a few benchmarks it would be great, there is even a chance to win some money:

We are looking for some old hardware, some new, you can see what we need in the spreadsheet and if there are questions make sure to DM any of the HWBOT captains

Do we know who I need to include in prizes?

Looks like quite a few people got over 10 WUs according to the score card.

[Minotaurtoo]

you can exclude me from the prizes if you want, I was mostly doing it to see what my ppd would be like when winter gets here... nothing like curing things while heating the house up.

[bwalker36]

I will figure out the prize stuff this weekend.  Sorry for delay been getting crushed at work.  

[bwalker36]

Fortunately I'm in the US, South Carolina, so that's not too bad. Thank you so much though! I'll pass the generosity on and use the parts in a PC that I'll donate to my FSAE team.

dope! thanks for the prizes @bwalker36

 

gpu will definitely get folded on if I win that!

 

[Bastiaan_NL]

I just noticed this conversation, but as @Avacado mentioned I'm in the Netherlands.
Even though I love the prizes you are giving away I would like to give my second place to @Cerberus and the third place to another lucky winner

I've had all sorts of delays in my progress through undergrad so I'm still a student at Clemson University. Hometown is still about 2 hours away in Georgia.

You sure, I never put any restrictions so I'm willing to do it?

100%
And thanks for still considering it
I bet there are a few guys closer who can put it to good use!
Over here it would be benched a few times and put in storage

Well were back to the pond....please hold.  

[bwalker36]

So I the 1st page doesn't have the info anymore.  If somoene can show me who is still eligble I'll redraw 3rd otherwise I can just carry over the leftover prize to next month.  

 

And apologies in advance to everyone who gets a prize.  I will be slow in shipping, my life is in disarray, but not in a bad way.  Just will be slow

I think everyone who posted in this thread hit at least 10 WUs. Obviously some hit a hell of a lot more

[ENTERPRISE]

Just to make sure we get as much exposure as possible, please remember to PM @bonami2who will post up our monthly comps on our Socials

[EHW Ai]

A big thanks to @Cerberus; I've joined the club:

 

 

He's got my SeaHawk 1080 installed in his basement; and I'll also be sending him those two Cooler Master PSUs I did a review on a while back.
