Note: Stats are updated as soon as possible, but less frequent than desired. Just keep folding!

 

Note: Extreme Team Members remember to use a different pass key than your ETF key (If you don't know what that is then it probably does not apply to you).

 

Folding is stressful on hardware, and will often break an overclock unless it's been tested with folding. I do not recommend overclocking high end GPUs as the power draw can be extreme while folding. If anything, try tuning for energy efficiency. Casualties happen and EXTREMEHW can not be held accountable if you destroy your hardware while folding. 

 

Thank you for your participation!

I'm adding one EHW t-shirt to the prize pool via the EHW store.

 

If anyone else wants to put anything into the pot, let me know. We got to motivate people to fold in this heat

@tictoc is graciously donating an EVGA RTX 2080 BLACK GAMING as a random draw prize (5 WU minimum). I will add this to the OP with pictures of said card in the morning.

Sweet prize. Not in this month though. Heat and Team Cup. Bad weekend for this tourney.

Whoop forgot the foldathon was coming up... I already promised the boys I'd work on Team Cup this weekend. 

 

Still in with the 4070ti, but probably wont have any of the 3090s online if I want any hope of benching in the office without dying of heatstroke 

[neurotix]

Yay, I *might* be able to get 3rd place this time.

[Alex]

Going with my main PC and the HTPC. Added some fans to help evacuate the air from the HTPC... it works shockingly well.

 

[damric]

Going to run one card in super low power mode to keep the heat in check. It's been 120F heat index here for a while with no hope for it letting up in the near future. Air conditioning is having trouble keeping it just 85F but at least it is dehumidifying.

[Andrew]

I was hoping for "good" weather for this and (first is C, second is F)

 

 

Normally this time of year, it's a good 10-15c hotter. Pair that with my GPU throwing out 50c air and a well insulated house with no AC and it makes it impossible. Normally when I work my computer this hard in that kind of temperature, the inside of my house gets up to 105-115F with 60-70% humidity. It's literally deadly.

That weather looks fantastic compared to the heat wave that is the USA right now. It's hitting above 32c in the mountains here. I couldn't even imagine living in Arizona right now. > 45c everyday.
