Lets make it a 3 horse race. I nominate Duff&Diana . They've been folding consistently as well and mowed over me awhile ago.

Gratz russnuck.

No they're not BUT :

Welcome to the team Fluxmaven, and welcome back firedfly. The more the merrier with the challenge just a few weeks away.

Nice to see my vote contributing to the tie atm ;) And yeah, MGMcCALLEY what's with WCG? I had to re-do my main PC and didn't bother installing WCG back on it. I stopped folding in the hot summer months but usually WCG all year long. Happy New Year Horde.

Gratz russnuck. Glad some peeps are keeping toes in the water. I'll be rejoining the fold after things cooldown outside.

Gratz Byte!

Gratz to the slimy chemist ! -er I mean chemist_slime. What's your favorite slurry to celebrate with?

The bedroom? I hope you have tape over any microphones ;) Seriously that's like a winning geek-raffle ticket if she tolerates that, not geek-lottery caliber but still a nice little win. I'm like you and don't like throwing usable stuff away just-in-case, sometimes it progresses into nostalgia...

Fair enough. I'm not going to disable PBO as I game on my main regularly and once in a blue moon on the HTPC which will now be off most of the time when its not folding. PZ is rarely on either so its not worth fussing in the BIOS over. The Server is throwing off some warmth so I'm gonna try to...

It's that time of the season again. Can't believe I was shovelling snow just 3 weeks ago and now its getting too warm to keep everything running. 3060 only runs for challenges usually and now going to park the 2060S. Just swapped the 2060 Ventus from Phantom Zone PC into the Server and I'll...

Was considering a 4070S myself as my 3060 just ain't up to it for my new 4K monitor. After some research I've got the ASUS Dual on my shortlist. Quiet, good temps and can OC a bit if desired but looks like most current gen hardware is pretty close to its limits nowadays and gains are minimal...

Giddy up ! -er, shouldn't there be 3 racers...

How magnanimous of you to nominate him when you're coming up on him [H]ard! ;) I'll second the nom ...

Idaho eh? Not too far from me and probably similiar climate. Was working out in the field about an hour out of Grande Prairie for awhile, followed by a trip to Lloydminster which is east of and only as far north as Edmonton then down to Moose Jaw on the prairies which isn't very 'north' but was...

Well I finally made it to 100K. Personal goal of mine the last couple months and it actually feels like a bit of an accomplishment with PPD being so high on GPU's these days. Not holding a candle to the legendary beekeeper (who's still active with 449K) or FLECOM from days past but it's nice to...

Hey thx folks and it has been 20 years, all for the [H]. First folding record is Jan 2004 after I switched from the SETI screen saver to FAH on a Pentium 4. THE Pentium 4 - 3.06 GHz with hyperthreading. King of the hill back then. Of course being one of the early folders it was all CPU and...

LoL. It was snowing Tuesday when you posted and a bit Wed morning but only a couple inches. Warmed up to just over freezing and the sun came out in the afternoon and melted most of it. Wind has a bite to it tho. Worked up north for a couple months and it was -40 or so most of the time. Much...

Is EXT64 eligible? 4.3M WCG results is worthy of nomination.

Yeah, fair enough and you're damn right about the WU's. After posting my observation lo and behold it grabbed a core 22 unit and PPD were back to 1.2 - 1.3M. My other cards show a minor reduction on core 23 WU's but don't drop off the cliff like the 1660S. They all have substantially more...

Well thx SmokeRngs, nice to see you're still around and hear from ya again. And yes CPU folding is a luxury if you can take the power bill pain as GPU's are where the PPD has been for years. There's always been 'downward creep' the last few years which shouldn't be too unexpected as the...

Not sure if it's a problem with the 1660 Super or what but PPD seems way down on these WU's. Getting less than half what I was usually getting at only ~400K-ish PPD . Been considering a 4060 for power draw/performance reasons for the farm but this MSI 1660S is very quiet so it's not unwelcome...

Thx, and yeah I've been keeping an eye on that. Thinking of keeping everything folding until I reach it if the weather stays cool enuff (Even after Red Falcon mows me). Calling for another cold snap along with snow this evening so that'll buy us a few days more @ full throttle.

Gratz!

Yes although for some reason the OC thats been rock solid on the old 3770K system since day 1 has become unstable as well as the XMP 2133 RAM speed. Set it all to defaults for now as I recover a drive that was accidentally initialized and partitioned when the WHS setup process selected the wrong...

Eh force of habit I guess and I have quite a few shortcuts and playlists that point to server locations on various machines. The playlists especially would be a pain to re-do as some of them are lengthy. I do have the spare Win 10 boxen and a spare license or 2 as well so I considered it. Had...

Alrighty after another stint up North I'm back in Calgary (jeez I'm gettin' too old for this). Server went down with a CPU failure just before I left and it's a Skylake and no used Xeons or i7's available locally so I repurposed my old 3770K to the task. Wasn't the original plan but WHS2011...

Well I just got back in town a few days ago and havent checked eligibility but RedFalcon and Colinstu are chewing up the ladder on F@H. I'll nominate one or both of them if eligible. edit: And I better get something else other than my 2060S online or else 'Falcon is gonna mow me before I can...

Gratz!

I was thinking of a 4060 when I get back to civilization (laptop tethered thru my phone atm). What's avg PPD Doozer?

I gotta leave town early tomorrow so I'll be powering down all rigs just a few hours short of the end. We're getting whacked this year but its been fun. Will try to check in from time to time from remote location. edit: I installed WCG on my main rig and will leave it running in my absence.

Main boxen with my 3060 in it became unresponsive at some point overnight. Not sure for exactly how long but it'll prob take a bite out of my PPD. I see some former [H]orde members among the top folders. Heretics! - jk ;) they're still contributing to the science which is the most...

I'll have 2060 Super, 2060, 1660 Super fulltime and my 3060 when not in other use. My Server is still down but my old P8Z77 mobo has an extra PCIE slot. It's only PCIE 2.0 x8 but I might be able to cram a surplus GTX1060 into it. Not sure if it'll be bottlenecked tho and probably have to take...

Yeah the pace of that mower is about right. It'll take you awhile ;) . Grandma was a group of [H]orde members folding in a tribute to Grandpa further up the list and they stopped at their goal of 2B.

3B pernts. Ramped up PPD to try to land it on my 20th anniversary of Folding but my Server going offline threw a slight wrench into the plan and I missed it by a day and a half. I'll have to ramp it back down for electricity reasons until the TAAT challenge on the 24th. Hopefully aqcuire a...

Hey pututu, built it brand new in late 2016 or early 2017. Had been rock solid for 24/7/365 until now. Heh, no magic smoke or anything - just failure upon a simple reboot. The Xeon was 4C/8T so only 77W TDP which isnt too bad. Used it for MKV and Handbrake back when my 3770K was my main...

And by out I mean flame-out : Server packed it in yesterday. Seems the Xeon failed, 5 BIOS beeps on startup. Had a flaky bout a couple weeks ago after a Windows update, then it corrupted the boot sector after a reboot yesterday and while troubleshooting it started the 5 beeps. Clear CMOS...

sparksNmagic putting up impressive folding numbers - in the top ten overall on the team now gets my vote (despite the harsh mowing he gave me once upon a time). Reports of the Gov't investigating the price gouging on electricity here so if they do get it down to the rumored .10/kwh then I'll...

Gratz wareyore and Nathan_P. Well done!

uh-oh ! with only a couple days left i created a tie ...
