Mind the EVENT START TIMER as it is UTC time zone.

 

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!

It's that time again. Contest starts about a week after the HWBOT team comp is finished so hopefully we can get some bench rigs repurposed in time for this.

In and hopefully the first 2 wu wont go to my old team this time. Does anyone have the passkey for the Hertz account. I want to put a few points up in honor of my old friend.

AFAIK you don't actually need to use the same pass key. I've experimented with this and you could use your own pass key with the name Hertz and it would still put the points on his name, just under your key. Try this today or whenever by running a WU like that and see what happens. The last time I experimented with this was with the TPU Kreij account back in March. I'm not saying I might not be wrong though. @BWG has the Hertz key. He has been retired from here for a bit though. Could try and reach him on the discord server.

Weird. Maybe it just needs a little more time to update?

Maybe needs 10 work units for the quick return bonus

Hoping to have the custom power cables in time. Would be a big shame to miss this event. 
 

Hoping to sort through more stuff to be able to put up for giveaway

No worries. When you get that monster up and crunching it will truly be marvelous!

Rig is up. Doesn’t have full monitoring capabilities yet, but it’s close. 

 

Good enough to run for the weekend probably 

[Avacado]

Will get the folding rig running tonight when I get home from work.

Looking forward to seeing the debut. Don't get frustrated if you run into some kinks along the way.

Been rebuilding my folding rigs all week and hope to have the main one chugging along very soon.

Ugh, the 3060 Ti is cooking itself to death. This is a low-power triple-fan card that usually runs around 65°C. And I can't figure out why it's now pushing 85°C and throttling, even with a draconian power limit. It's clean, so maybe a fan is dead but being spun by air from the other fans. Gonna have to do surgery in the middle of the foldathon. Hopefully it won't result in dumping the CPU WU.
