As, that's too bad. I know we were counting on you for this challenge, but there's there's always next time. Also, it seems like a lot of us will be out of town this weekend

That's pretty awesome!

Thanks Matt, sorry I can't make it this time, but will make sure I join our team for the next challenge :rockout:

Good luck to everyone

Recca29 · Aug 27, 2014

Sorry but i am out from this one.

Power issues at my location :banghead:

Will join the next challenge.

Norton · Aug 27, 2014

No worries if you can't bring something in for the Challenge- It's a short notice/short duration deal so just do what you can

On a related matter.... I can't seem to get any of my extra rigs to connect to the internet since filling them up with work :confused:

Norton · Aug 27, 2014

Sorry for the double post....

Just wanted to let everyone know that we will be announcing the winner* of the rig build using the custom case built by @ST.o.CH at the end of the Challenge

*note- the winner of this prize only needs to be an active TPU Forum member, crunching and folding for our Teams is optional but encouraged

I'm on the road ATM but will be in tomorrow morning. I guess its going to be do or die for my heavy over clock of 4.9ghz on the 4790k

I think she'll give some good PPD once I get it fired up and running. I can kill two birds with one stone.. Crunch and test for 100% stability as I'm 99.8% sure its stable but hey wth it be a good run to let the cpu stretch its legs no?

I think it is THE BEST way to test stability!!

Don't count your chickens before the hatch

I've still got 980 miles to go and at current speed I've got 11.9 hrs to go plus whatever time at customs..got a six back of red bull and full of fuel so I'm doing my best.

Norton · Aug 28, 2014

A few hours left on Day one of the Challenge- bring the Heat Team!!!

THE_EVIL_RAPIER · Aug 28, 2014

Good luck guys. I've only just started folding for TPU (hope I'm helping for that)
I have never crunched before and know nothing about it yet. I only have one machine that is my main PC for the whole family, sorry.

I'm sure you'll do well.

Tallencor · Aug 28, 2014

Point me in the right direction for info on how this works please.

Well I broke record time running a thousand miles straight but was welcomed by Manitoba hydro up on the pole behind my house. Power the wife said has been off and on all morning. All I can do is wait for them to leave so I can fire up bionic. This Asus mobo is way to flaky with blue screens and needing a reflash so I'm holding out till then.

Dam spooling up crap lol

Peter1986C · Aug 29, 2014

I aborted my setting up of Gentoo on Edison (Athlon II X2 @ 3G) in order to quickly equip it with #! (CrunchBang) so that I could get it #-ing (You get it?) somewhat in time (has been doing so since about an hour or ten).

Tallencor · Aug 29, 2014

This is great. Glad to be part of the team.

Oh, don't you worry about that. I like to put my socks behind Lil' Crunchy so that they're nice and toasty when I put them on the next morning.

That sounds like a Win-Win-Win (you win, socks win, we all win) situation

Well call me a dirty mule and smack me! I had no idea there was a case to be had. This is the one I read about in memory of a previous member correct?

Yep, that is correct. He was a moderator here on TPU and just an amazing human being! Helped sooooooooooo many people out here and was a very dear friend to many including myself He is and will be dearly missed by many. :cry:

The sole reason that this is the only forum site I am a member. Within minutes of joining with my first question I was welcomed with open arms and treated with respect. If He had a hand in setting the tone for what was to be TPU then may I pay my respects.

Bad news, I dont know if the power outages last night was a factor or just pushing the cpu to hard in the past and shes degraded.

I have blue screens coming out my ass with this thing. It may be board or cpu itself so sorry guys im out till I get this problem solved.

I have the man helping me sort this out but it wont be till later this coming week before I get different hardware to test where the issue lays.

I even did a clean OS install and still the stability is gone..

Sorry everyone
