Yep, start time is set, length to 3 days.

 

Hoping to finish up the updated stats page for the Foldathon Stats page tomorrow for instant updates during the event.

 

Will worry about adding styling later and will try to add the "time to next update" on it as well.

Do we even really need to do that?

We could probably do away with it aside from a few cases (different forum username from F@H username, donating prizes, asking to be excluded from prizes, etc.)

But each time someone says "IN" it does bump the thread for more people to see on the home page.

Just over 4 hours to go until START

Hey bud when you get a chance can you change the Amazon gift card prize to 2x $50 PayPal gift cards? This way people can use the money on places other than Amazon. Thanks

Got home late but I'm getting rigs fired up now. Got a fair amount of firepower sitting on the test bench for a review that I need to work on this weekend. Might toss one in the Plex server to fold while I'm working on the review rig

What's up with the stats updating? We're 2 hours in... can't see the stats?

Take a few hours to get the initial scores. Something about servers validating things, sitting in queues, buffering, the cloud, and those balloons that got popped.

[neurotix]

Lol ok thanks. Sorry for being impatient

[Fluxmaven]

The monstrous Zotac Amp Extreme Airo 4070ti was too large to just slip into my Plex server... Which is in a Maingear Shift (a reskinned Silverstone Raven RV01 so not a small case by any means). 

 

So I put the 7700X in the ITX board, put the Icegiant on, and put the whole setup on a shelf in the spare rack (with an appropriately sized cardboard box to keep the card from sagging right off the board. 

 

Got F@H running and noticed that I passed 1B (that's including old points for OCN)

 

 

 

[neurotix]

Congratulations, I recently got 1b and the certificate too.

Ok that ICEGIANT and that big-assed card look absolutely ridiculous on that itx board. I love it

So Stanford changed the Flat files to only update every 3 hours now, I'm half way through implementing a proper countdown to update at the bottom of the stats site.

 

It means we need to line up competitions with UTC time (or CST time) lining up with 3 hour increments.

 

 

The EHW stats site though still updates every hour in case a flat file gets updated with some fixes.

I should have taken more pics before I tossed it in there. The ITX board is comically small compared to these components. Here's a pic of it with my MSI 4070ti 

 

Red overlay is roughly the board size. The Zotac card is quite a bit larger than the MSI

[Avacado]

You have no idea how happy this makes me.

Oh man, that is a interesting takeover for sure.

Really close scores between several people. Who's sandbagging and has another card they plan on pulling out to shake things up?

[neurotix]

I have a idle 3060 in my wife's rig, and my 4090 has just been unlucky pulling WUs from the servers. I think Paperclip and keeph8n are running one 4090 each, and I know keeph8n has no less than 8 4090s.

 

Don't know if running a 3060 as well as my 4090 would be enough to catch up or pass them.

[keeph8n]

only been one running one mostly as I've been gaming most of the weekend

I feel you. I had to pause main rig for about 2 hours so I could play some Midnight Suns

[Fluxmaven]

My main rig with one of the 3090s shut down because the flow rate dropped below my aquasuite alarm threshold. CPU and GPU blocks look pretty gunked up.

 

I changed the shutdown point since temps were still fine. (I have a separate emergency shutdown setup if the temps get out of hand). 

 

Played around on the racing sim a bit since it's one of the only rigs that isn't folding

That sucks. My office rig also died too. 1st world problems
