Following last year's tournament, EHW incurred additional expenses distributing prizes to winners in the form of shipping and border duties/taxes. Please ensure you ask additional questions if you are selected as a winner. If you do NOT wish to cover import duty fees established by your country, please refuse the prize when selected. EHW will do everything in our power to ask vendors to label items as gifts with $0 values, but we ultimately can't control labeling/shipping mistakes on their behalf.

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!

 

 

 

WINNERS!!!

Now time to bump this thread.

 

@pututu your turn to bring some guys and crunch with us for a few days next month.

[neurotix]

Yep, excited about this one.

[Fluxmaven]

I'll be out of town pretty much the entire competition so I won't be around to babysit the usual every card in the house strategy. I'll still leave a few cards folding and possibly get setup on vast.ai to rent a few if we get some good competition going.

[neurotix]

I'll be running my 4090 OC'ed in Linux as well as the little 3060 in Windows.

 

Even if I don't end up in 3rd or 4th place, I am still very happy to contribute to the cause. Also looking forward to what prizes we'll have this year

That is decision that @ENTERPRISE will have to make. I would love for it to be an annual badge.
