Announcing the TechPowerUp Winter's End WCG Challenge

btarunr · Feb 25, 2015

With spring nearly upon us, it's time to give the old horses crunching overclocked through the winter one grand, last run. TechPowerUp World Community Grid (WCG) team, one of the world's top-10 teams, with over 4,000 years of aggregate CPU time, and over 20 million results submitted; brings to you the Winter's End WCG Challenge.

Simply crunch for the TechPowerUp WCG Team between 26th Feb (00:00 UTC) and 6th Mar (00:00 UTC), and multiple winners along the leaderboard stand to win some sick community-sponsored prizes, including an AMD FX-8350 CPU + ASUS Crosshair V Formula motherboard combo, a fully-built crunching rig, numerous SSDs, CPU coolers, and more. So what are you waiting for?! For more information, and to participate, visit this page.

As a note, the winner for the fully built rig will come from a pool of only new / newest team members (crunching or folding) who meet the requirements for eligibility. So if you have been on the fence on whether to join either the folding team or the WCG team now you have a great incentive, the chance to win a purposed built rig.

While this rig is a purpose built lean crunching machine, it will do more as it is a fully functional desktop rig.

In the advanced view, make sure it is not suspended or set to no new tasks.
You can also select Update in the Projects Tab, and that should hopefully give you new tasks.
If you have no current tasks running or ready to send you can also select Reset, doing this will delete all current files and get new tasks.

Good luck everyone!
