It's finally cold outside so I'm gonna turn things up a bit. I already won last month so somebody better come catch these hands this time

well, I doubt I'll catch you.  I only have one 6900xt and one 5950x folding... kinda surprised me how many ppd that 5950x can put out with only 14 cores going... I do have PBO on, and turned lose... last I looked the cpu was pulling 170w and sitting at 65C on the hottest sensor... kinda wonder how a 7000 series cpu does now.

So 28 threads folding? That's awesome.

@axipher  I am hoping our stats work right. I think we should have some WU's completed soon!

yes 28 threads, I limit it to 28 so there is enough cpu left to allow me to use my pc normally and to keep the gpu fed.  I remember a time when loading a cpu up like this would cause a pc to grind to a halt, but  with better OS's and fancy hardware it runs as normal, with no lag, almost like it's not even working hard.

First update is in 3 minutes which would cover the first hour of the competition, fingers crossed tightly

Seeing a blank page. Is that a problem or did no one finish a unit yet? I have like 35 minutes to go on one WU.

thanks to my early start, I finished my first unit about 14 mins after the competition began, allowing for delay in accounting, it should have showed up about 40 mins into the comp.

Looks like it's updating now. Looking good.

only one is down, got two online right at comp start (albeit late to the game to get a wu in ON start time)

Folding on the 2080 Ti in my bedroom currently and I gotta say all that heat isn't so bad, we indeed are at that time of year already.

Glad to have you back buddy

[Fluxmaven]

Cold weather really helps. I put down just over double the points I did last month. I just can't justify folding hard when I'm fighting against the AC. 70F outside last month, 30F outside this time. I shut all the vents on this half of the house and just used folding power to stay warm

Thanks! Would have been a lot tighter race if you had started folding at the beginning of the comp, and for the correct team.

Indeed .  You should have more of a challenge next month!

[Minotaurtoo]

definitely weather helped me out... will probably leave it folding again tonight just for the extra "free" heat... that and my uncle has Alzheimer's... as well as my Dad... and there is some research for that going on here.

[Supercrumpet]

Yeah I'm also going to keep folding on and off lol, PC is working very well as a space heater.

 

Congrats @Fluxmaven!
