Everything in my system specs will be running 100% for this. I just need to get a wireless network adapter for the 1045t system(I'll probably stop by Radio Shack for that today) and everything will be ready and going.

I WANT THAT MOTHERBOARD/CPU COMBO!!!!!!!!

Doh!

You should have let me know..... I have/had one an extra one here somewhere and would have tossed it in the box for free! :oops:

brandonwh64 · Feb 7, 2014

We have about 6" on the ground now and hasn't been above 2 F for about 4 days. Night before last it dropped down to -23 F. A near by town recorded -42 that same night. Tomorrow evening we are suppose to get about another 8" of snow.......Jeez I am sick of winter already. Ready for some warm weather for some serious wind in my face riding!

Nordic · Feb 7, 2014

So I was saying I wish I could get some snow clouds to warm things up. Well it snowed an unforcasted foot last night, and no clouds by morning. Now its really cold and I have a an extra two feet of snow.

m&m's · Feb 8, 2014

I like snow and with the right equipments, it can be very entertaining!

I'll keep crunching like I've been doing for the past 2 years with 2x Phenom II X4 @3.4GHz running 6-8 hours a day @100% + 1x Opteron 4171 HE @2.1GHz with boinc running on 2 cores @100% 24/24h.

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Feb 8, 2014

All is good with the part of my fleet that's running now and they will be fully spooled with in a day or two.

TRWOV · Feb 8, 2014

Count me in. :rockout:

Norton · Feb 9, 2014

6 days from Challenge start!

I'll work on getting a TPU front page announcement for Monday/Tuesday.... please be watchful for any new members looking for info on joining up and try to assist if you can

Nice donation HammerON! I wouldn't mind dabbling with a FM2 board if it happened to find it's way to me... :laugh:

t_ski · Feb 10, 2014

Thanks for another great donation! :toast:

But fellas, look on the bright side of things: you'll all have better weather for crunching than me, nice cool temperatures. See, it all works out

You mean where the air is so dry it kills components with static shock?

My 5800k @ stock is putting out 2500k ppd currently.

I tried to crunch and fold but the 9401 beta needs to much cpu. WCG keeps shutting down. Sorry guys.

Peter1986C · Feb 10, 2014

BTW, I will not be in for the hardware prizes, because of shipping and the likelyhood of it not getting crunched on by me. I will be in for anything else and of course for science.

TRWOV · Feb 10, 2014

I'd like to add a copy of Strider to the game giveaway :peace:

I tried to Fold on my i5 w/ HD4000. For the Chimp Challenge, and just could get this thing to do it. It basically made both Crunching and Folding come to a near standstill. Thanks for giving it a go!!

Zachary85 · Feb 10, 2014

I'm also in for this one. I have everything I own running now, even a couple of older core 2duo laptops.

Do you think Thursday is too late to get a rig going with time to spool up? I was supposed to be picking up my bro's 4670k Thursday but I may be able to push it to Wednesday.

Sounds good, I'll leave it for Thursday, much less hassle for me. I'll pm fullinfusion tomorrow too to get his rig up and running.
