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!

If you let me know what fittings you need for the Seahawk, I might have them on hand (or have that sent to you).

I am thankfully not going anywhere for Christmas. At the point where 4 of the water cooled rigs in the house need to come apart for upgrades and/or maintenance so I just need to force myself to rip everything apart and take care of it. 

 

I may need to cheat and rent some cards if I don't get those rigs back online, but I'll fold on something

You only need two fittings, right? Will these do (from Titan Rig, via Amazon):

 

EK-Quantum Torque 2-Pack Rotary 90° - Black, 90 Degree Fitting

 

added: If you're going into the sides of cooling manifold, then I understand why you would need four fittings. added in error

 

Btw, I don't do business with PPCS because of an order they messed up a few years back.

just 2, it wasn't economical to list the individual listing, they didn't have a 2 pack

[EHW Ai]

Ordered two of them--they should be on their way shortly (see the pm). Thanks, again.

[Supercrumpet]

In as CptAsian! Should have at least one rig running.

So since I'm an idiot and on a lot of prescription drugs atm, I am trying to figure out when this foldathon starts and ends for me. So I can add it to my calendar.

 

Is it only a 2 day foldathon or 3 day?

 

I'm in UTC -6 so I know it starts for me Thursday, December 21st at 6pm my time. But I'm so confused on when it will end, will it be the 23rd at 6pm?

It is confusing.  It says 2 days in some spots and 3 days in others .  This is a 3-day (72 hour) foldathon.  I'll update the OP to clarify the times.

 

Thanks for asking for clarification!

EDIT:  I've updated the OP.  Let me know if there is still confusion.  @neurotix For you, the competition would end on Dec 24 at 6pm.

Alright I was doing a massive amount of cleaning the office laboratory and I located another set of PATRIOT VIPER STEEL. Good Samsung B-die benching RAM. I have run these as fast as 4000CL14, but your milage will vary on CPU and motherboard.

These will be random draw prize, but I'll set the bar at 15 WUs to qualify.

If I'm not too late.   Won't be scoring high, but it'll keep me warmer the next few days with the 6900XT going!
