ehw foldathon ExtremeHW Folding@Home Competition, November 18th - 20th

[Mistio]

The excel shows some nice numbers!
Good job guys :). 
For some of us the race was over before it even began *haha*. 

[ENTERPRISE]

Looking forward to the boost ! For better point updates via Google docs, I have spoken with my dev and aiming for end of November release, fingers crossed we can have it working for the next foldathon.

[Bastiaan_NL]

It looks like I had a few missing units being credited, 5 million points and 173 units in one update

@ENTERPRISE Thanks for looking into the docs implementation!
@Mistio It's a race where everyone has an even chance of winning, and we all help the research!

Sandbagger.

 

Too late to fire up some more GPUs. I'll have to get serious next month.

Haha, it would be really cool if I had the power to get 5mil and 150+ units each update
Did you ever try to fold on all your hardware at the same time? I wonder what your ppd would be..  (so I know what to upgrade for the next competition)

[tictoc]

Not sure with the current mix of gear, but maybe something like 19-20M ppd. It will probably be a bit before I can get a good estimate with everything folding, but I might give it a go in December.

 

Unfortunately for F@H, I have a stack of AMD gear for testing ROCm, but I do have a few NVIDIA GPUs that can probably take a break from training to do a bit of folding in the next EHW race. :D

We just flew by the 2B team points total. Nice going everyone.

[ENTERPRISE]

Nice one guys !

[Mistio]

Nicely done indeed!

That's a lot of points, more than I can get right now! I have a pair of AMD cards that I will sell soon, not enough points per watt compared to the nvidia cards I have.

That's pretty cool, totally missed it

[bonami2]

For some reason i had a bug with my new system it fold 360-500k ppd with the rx480 but when i shut the screen off it go to 60k

[Bastiaan_NL]

Do you have gpu-z running, or some other app that logs clocks, usage and powerdraw? 
It sounds like the gpu goes back to lower clocks, or some energy saving state.

Sweet, let's see who gets close to 20 million points donated to their name

[axipher]

Is anyone here folding with the Folding@Home Username "Chicken"?

 

I have no ExtremeHW username to link to that folding username

[axipher]

I did the Physical prizes as one drawing and the Folding Time prizes as a separate drawing.

• I was excluded from the prize draws since I'm doing the drawing
• If someone won a Gold membership who had a Platinum, they would get the next prize instead and I would redraw
• The users who donated folding time were excluded from that prize drawing

 

 

Prizes:

• $25 USD PayPal (@axipher)
  • Won by @Bastiaan_NL

• 1 Year Gold Membership (@Bastiaan_NL)

  • Won by @tictoc

• A game or games of your choice with a cap at 70 EUR on a platform that can send gifts (ie : steam, GoG, etc) (@Mistio)

  • Won by @NavJack27

• Western Digital PC SN720 256GB SSD (Shipping included) (@tictoc)

  • Won by @Mistio

 

Folding Time Prizes:

• 1 Week of Bastiaan_NL's RTX 2080 Super for around 3M PPD (@Bastiaan_NL)

  • Won by @bonami2

• 1 Week of Cerberus' 1080ti for around 2.3M PPD (@Cerberus)
  • Won by @steakikan

• 1 Week of Supercrumpet's 2080 Ti for around 4-4.5M PPD (@Supercrumpet)

  • Won by @Mistio

 

 

All winners have 30 days to contact the user who donated the prize and arrange the prize, please add me to the PM for verification

 

All Folding Time Prize Winners will need to provide their username/passkey to the donator.  If you are uncomfortable in sending your passkey, please PM the donator and myself anyway and we will come up with an alternate method, likely using a throwaway passkey using a different email with the same Folding@Home username.

[Mistio]

Uhmm... say what now? 
I won something??

Seriously?
I never won anything online since 2007 when I started browsing forums in a more active manner *haha*. 

 

@NavJack27 hit me up so we can sort your prize :).
