Challenge Time!!!

Alright boys and girls, we are now in challenge territory so make sure all your rigs are up and running as best as they can! Let's do our best in putting off our gaming urges

Crunch on!

It won't matter as far as the challenge is concerned if you upload tomorrow, but I'd prefer to do it sooner than later.

lol i'm modding gpu's on overclock.net so i cant crunch to the fullest but i will try.

I just want to say that on this first day of the challenge, I ThE_MaD_ShOt am aiming for a 50 to 60k day. Optimistic I know but hey Santa still comes around.

Bow · Feb 15, 2014

40k on first update for #1 spot but I wont stay there just close to there. Lol

Almost at 10k points for next update so 50 to 60k may be in reach.

Norton · Feb 15, 2014

I'm at around 25k so far today and hoping to get close to 35k for today and tomorrow

FYI- I've got a feeling that there's a new thread about to open within the next few hours.... keep an eye out for it!

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Feb 15, 2014

I am offically 138 points from 50k for the day. Our first day in the challenge is going to be good.

Just a few. The last time is the time that really counts though. Its about 5pm pst but I don't have an exact time. Norton would know but I figured I would give you some sort of answer.

Usually FreeDC updates 3x per day- approx. 10am, 4pm, 9pm (Eastern)

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Feb 15, 2014

For the last update you want to do an upload no later then 7pm eastern or it may not count.

how do we manually upload?

HammerON · Feb 16, 2014

Click on the "Projects" tab and make sure the project is highlighted. Then click "Update" in the left under Commands.

You can also use this to have them report automatically when a WU finishes:
