You and me both brother. Honestly, I'd love to scoop up a 3070 or 3080 FE, not really digging the AIB stuff.

Looks like I leapfrogged into 7th place somehow. @InverseTundragonna jump back?

 

Edit: Might be a little more at stake.

I just got home to my main system being basically shot dead. FAH Errored out, first gpu flat out Failed?! Never seen that before. Temp at idle was 153 degrees no load. Something def isnt right. I knew these Kingpin cards had crap reliability but i was really hoping they'd hold out for this. Hopefully it just needs a repaste or something. Been fine all week though. Odd to happen all of a sudden. On the plus side i hooked my HTPC 780/9100 to the 1000 watt platnium psu next to it and its been stead 550k ppd all day no black screens. That 500w evga just cant hold it up i guess. But you got the win here @BWG I was going to stomp up but much like Icarus i got cooked to death by a gpu lol.

Yeah, I went to 16 threads on my CPU, but it looks like that last one is short by 20 mins. I'm done.

 Fans, never got around to watercooling them. Both were running per the fan scale i set. 0 load. 70% fan speed. 153 degrees. Almost like it failed running a WU and just never stopped running it or something. Ive had bad overclocks n such before but this gave me a red Failed in FAH and was just reading like a maniac so ive zero clue. System restart and letting it finish the WU's it was doing then i will dive deeper into the issue. Id upgrade if anything was even available...

That was really fun!  Reminds me of Foldathons in my past life.  Nice job everyone, next time we need to get to 100mil PPD and or 900WUs in one day.

 

Didnt win the 3060 lottery today,  I was able to click on buy now at Best Buy, but could not add to cart.  Oh well.  Time to rig up a 3rd 1070 in my main folding rig.

It's over already?  Screw it, I want a top 10 spot for my own bragging rights. ?  Still folding, come at me bro.  :wheee_orange: @BWG @ENTERPRISE @axipher

Seriously though guys, that was a lot of fun.  Wish I'd have not taken time off for gaming during the competition that one day :doh:.  Also woulda been nice had I not been lazy and gotten everything functional beforehand.  But ah well.

When's the next one? :D

GG everyone! Well played, except @Bastiaan_NL, you are terrible at folding

Expand  

That's why I let my computers do the folding for me...

 

By the way, you can see how many 17800 units I received the last day. 120 units for 18 mil points and the day before was 87 units for 20 mil points. Those units are way too small to load big GPU's, it has been a subject of discussion on the folding forum too. Did notice anything with those units on your systems?

Ikr? I'll leave one system online for now, both the 2080's. The rest of the systems needed some dust cleaning and time to rest ?

I don't blame you for gaming for a bit, I've done it every day this week. We all need a little break now and then!

Good effort guys! I barely made it into T1 lol :whee:

I'm def in it for the next one too, was pretty fun.

Expand  

Thanks for folding, every unit helps. If you need more units you can always try to add a CPU or a laptop with a dedicated GPU and set it to "max-packet-size = small". On my laptop with a gtx850m which is almost 6 years old I still get 150k ppd and between 10 and 20 units depending on their size. There is no guarantee it works though, a few months back I only received bigger units that took 8-12 hours to finish with 65k ppd. But you can always give it a try if it's a close race :)

 

 

Thanks everyone for the good time and all the help!
We went up 19 positions in the team rankings the past 7 days. If we can do 30 mil ppd average with the team we will have no problem overtaking the next 50 teams and keeping other teams out of our rearview :wheee_orange:
