Fortunately my temps haven't increased that much because of the weather. Graphics card is staying at a steady 75 C even with all this heat so I'm going to continue folding on it 
OC3D F@H Competition
- Thread starter hmmblah
- Start date
.. looking at the weather though it should be easing up so can get back up to full speed soon. I am going to finish this strong. Drove down to the parents and had the laptop crunching for a day now. On top of that I have dragged my main rig out of the Garage and got it also crunching while I am here.
Unfortunatly the O/C on the 2600k has been knocked down to the max turbo speed of 3800mhz as last time I had it running it tripped over itself with a blue screen at both 4500mhz and again at 4400mhz, using the same Vcore. So I need to figure out where that instability is.

Last minute entry: 25k PPD avg
Folding huge units at the moment so need to underestimate.

My Xeon box has tiny work units, but my main rig got a huge 2.5m step unit. May need to leave this rig running for tonight

Registration closed on the 30th of June.
Garr, June/July confusion
I can see how it would be confusing if you just read the thread. Makes much more sense when read in June.
Less than 24 hours to go guys!

Good luck everyone. I've managed to keep my PPD slightly above my starting average, which I'm happy about. It doesn't help that I also game on my folding rig (I'm calling it my folding rig now, because that's what it does mainly, albeit not 24/7 
)
)
Don't know if I finished + or - from the start, but I do know that PG just went back to crappy GPU WU's. Poor PPD with lots of heat and poor SMP pointage, is that what you would call a tripple whammy??
Sorry to be so negative lately, but to be honest I'm getting quite fed up with the inconsistencies (probably spelled that wrong LOL) And I know how effective venting in folding forums is
:lol:Thanks to TTL and blah for the supporting the best F@H team around!!!
Thanks to those who made this competition possible. I managed a pretty decent final day with both rigs going strong dispite the horrible work units.
I would have felt like I was cheating if my average was going to fall short just from the rig I had folding for the month, but it was fairly stable around the 25k mark, so the extra folding power for the 36 to 48 or so hours is just extra points for the team.
Good luck everyone. I don't envy the job hmmblah and TTL have got trying to decide where the hardware goes.

Absolutely a huge NO!!!! And you must continue to fold for 98860 and remain an active member of the team!!Nice job everyone!!
Does this mean I can finally take this ridiculous contraption apart and put my video cards back in the normal computers? :lol:
Hope you stick around bud! Maybe we can get TTL to do a monthly contest to keep you around here :lol:
Actually that is what most of my stuff looks like:lol:
Haha. You know I'm a sucker for a competition, win or lose! I will have to keep going for another few days before I go down to one small rig folding(unless I some how win the drawing in which case the 560 too). Might as well get into 8th place overall while its right there. I completely did the math wrong, I was just hoping to get to 10,000,000 by the end of the competition, and slip into 10th.
I had to do it this way as the GPU's take just enough CPU to kill the bigadv TPF. It was a compromise because I couldn't overclock the GPU thats fan is covered(at stock it was hitting mid 90's with that huge turbo fan blowing on it), but the math worked out way better(lost 20,000PPD with GPU's in this configuration, but gained 90,000PPD on bigadv). My favorite is the Intel P4 heatsink on the AMD 3800+. I couldnt find a 939 heatsink in my mass of junk, had to remove the CPU heatsink retaining bracket from the board, and use wall mounts I found in a different junk drawer and used some blue rubber band to hold them together.

Thanks Tom and hmmblah for an awesome competition . I've just barely managed to keep the PPD average I started with, which I'm happy with.
