Amazing effort from The TPU F@H Team

BUCK NASTY · May 16, 2011

Guy's, I am at a loss for words for the incredible effort that TechPowerUp made for 1st Place in this years Chimp Challenge. There was tremendous communication, awesome strategy, and we even cracked 4 Million PPD. Our members hailed from all over the world and I even noticed a big dog and a few wizards among the bunch. This past week, we showed the entire folding establishment what TPU is made of. I truly appreciate every member of team, whether you have been folding with us for years or just started last week during the CC. I hope our new found friends stay on for a while and experience why we call TPU our home!

Thank You Gentlemen!

It wasn't much but thanks for giving me a reason to buy a gtx470 and gtx480 :toast:

I'm curious to see how much they can do daily. They will be dedicated folders here on out. :toast:

I'll be on board for next year as well! :toast:

I hate to do it but be pulling my i7 970 and putting it back to crunching in a couple of days.

Team TPU.

just to verify, that link showscshimppowerups as second?

LAN_deRf_HA · May 17, 2011

Yeah. So far the only place I've seen saying tpu came first is forum comments. Doesn't seem that way on the site.

What Buck means is our effort towards first place. Yes HWC won it but not comfortably, we were gaining on them and just ran out of time.

To me passing OCN was already quite an accomplishment.

There was at least one lady Folding for us. Saw a Cindy on the Facebook screen saying that she Folded for TPU. Cindy, I'm not calling you out, not the goal of this post.

I sent her a message on Facebook asking what her TPU username was. No reply back to me. :rolleyes:

Also on Facebook I got a friend request from, no wonder he uses Dustyshiv as a user name. If your out there Dusty thank you!
