Our current 5th place is about to be improved (11 hours or less from now) . Sandbagging from Italy and China was only going to let them stay ahead shortly http://www.seti-germany.de/wcg/stats_team.php?TeamIdWCG=S8TLJ6TFV1&proj=WCG&lang=en
The more regular playing team Decrypthon have however found some CPU cycles in the hour of need and is now tight (predicted overtake in 113 hours) in our heels. Even counting in Ions short overhaul I'm sure we can fight them back. Found a toaster with a Duron that OCs to 900 MHz ;)

It looks like we will find a comfortable seat in 3rd within 3 hours, and our recent race vs Decrypthon no longer has them overtaking us!!

Keep up the amazing work team:toast:

sorry to hear that. hope you find a replacement soon.

yeah. if RMA, takes long time. i will just buy a new one. its my fault because I oc'ed my 4770k to my B85 mobo. just for this challenge. Been running since yesterday and after I am preparing for work, i saw my computer is shut off. tried powering on, its like a fireworks inside my case lol. open up, damn mobo VRM dead. guess I put too much voltage lol. it was old mobo anyway, so I will just buy a new one. I will make sure I will buy a mobo with heat sink on vrms.

Sorry to hear that :(

I had a near miss with my 4P. My son was in a rush to get something out of my home office and knocked it over when I was downstairs and didn't say anything.... found it 5 minutes later nearly upside down and still trying to run. We had a little discussion about that :shadedshu:

Solidly #3 in the overall challenge! :toast:

Still, half a million points is an uncomfortably narrow margin. I don't see any chance that we'll be able to overtake XS or S.G, but #3 is (hopefully) readily available!

Bad news on my side of things. Due to spousal issues (She cracked the front clip of her car off of a guardrail. She blamed the snow) I will not be getting the server until this coming weekend. I was so hoping for that extra 6000 ppd for the challenge. Better late than never I suppose but I'm still bummed out.:(

@night.fox - sorry to hear about the flame out but very nice, hi-res picture there. What kind of camera did you use. Great optics. You'll probably tell me it was a cell phone but it looks as clean as Zeiss or Leica.

@Tallencor - what's a front clip? I'm guessing you mean a clip for the plastic bumpers most cars have. Hope that's the extent of the damage.

I managed to drop an air conditioner on my car last year. Well, not exacty on it. I just missed it. The plastic mounting wings hit the side of the car. Not sure how I screwed that up. I've put that ac in the window many times before and taken it out. I guess I just wasn't focusing. Now I have more power unit that sits on the floor and uses a window mounted vent. At least I can't screw that up. LOL.

Those a re great because you can move them from room to room easily. Say a bunch of people are over for a LAN, you can just roll that badboy in.

Wow. Boinc Italy has dropped to 5th already. They must have sandbagged a bunch of work to be dropping this quick. I know that I've said this before, but come next challenge I'm going to do the mother of all dumps at the beginning. The way Kreij's buffer is set, the Opty servers were running out of work before this challenge began.

Yeah, but that's not really a very sporting way of doing things. Artificial points inflation.
Additionally, IIRC WCG limits you to 25 WUs/thread stored at once--obviously this is fine for the Atom since it's terrible, but, depending on the WUs, that only lasts one of my OCed i7s a couple days.

what's a front clip
Nah, I wish it was just a fastener of some kind. Most cars these days don't really come with a front bumper like trucks anymore due to crumple zones. Its just a hard piece of Styrofoam behind the plastic panel that passes for a bumper on sedans these days. I personally call the fake bumper/panel a front clip. The passenger side took a hit and because it is all one piece I have to replace the whole thing. There are some used ones in the area but they are not the right color. So instead of sanding and painting a used one I bought an aftermarket one primed and ready to go for paint. My Brother in laws neighbor is a body man so he will do the work for a case of beer lol. But the Bumper/front clip and paint $300. Ugh! That took my piggy bank and then some. Here is a link to the actual part I have to replace.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Bumper-...5-04711S82A91ZZ-/350868525582?fits=Make:Honda
The headlights and marker lights, hood and front fenders are all fine and I prob just need to straighten out the brackets the bumper bolts to. All in all it really is only an hours worth of work clipping it back into place. Just waiting for the part to land at my guys shop. Minor annoyance really.
As for your A/C unit. Man that is some Lucky:toast:

I read a little bit about how to get around this limitation. Likely how China/Italy were able to sandbag so much.

Hey guys, I should have the game giveaway up later this evening for all to get into.

I had hoped that it would have been posted earlier, as a nice Challenge kick off, but things have been pretty hectic for me lately.

However, we do have a nice selection of donated games so I think it'll be a fun round :D

Yeah, but that's not really a very sporting way of doing things. Artificial points inflation.
Additionally, IIRC WCG limits you to 25 WUs/thread stored at once--obviously this is fine for the Atom since it's terrible, but, depending on the WUs, that only lasts one of my OCed i7s a couple days.
That means I could store 1200 WU per server? That is equivalent to approx 3 days work on these rigs.

@Tallencor You might want to check the cross bar the radiator mounts to if the impact was severe enough to destroy the bumper. I took out a sign once when someone cut me off on an icy road and it messed up the cross bar, which kinda sucked since the lights on one side were never properly aligned. I think I ghetto patched my way out of that but it wasn't pretty.

If anything I would say it is more sporting because it requires more effort and time commitment. If you just let it sit there it doesn't require much as long if you don't shuffle your rigs around too much.

Effort applied should have a reward. Its all for science and doesn't harm anything either.


Ya, my overclocked intel i5's only last about 48 hours before running out of work. Last time I sandbagged all my rigs I set the slower rigs at 3 days and the fast ones at two days.

Yup I believe so--the Opty system I have sits almost continually at 800 WUs, the 8C/16T at 400, the 6C/12T at 300 and so on
