Big thanks to HammerON who is sending me the FM2 board from the challenge prize pool :cool:

congratz everyone!!! Hope to see the next challenge

Thefumigator · Mar 2, 2014

Sorry I was out, now I'm at home. Who won something? Wait... I don't follow, pick a number? a number for what?

There should be a new thread presenting the winners!!! ...and a score table for those of us wanting to know how well we did (despite not being a prize winner)

How did we ended? #1 i believe, go TPU !

Post #1 has all the days and their respective points so that's where you need to look for standings, while post #2 contains all the winners of their respective prizes.

I mean no disrespect, but perhaps you can spend more time with the team and the postings, which would clarify these things for you. We would certainly welcome more interaction

But you are correct, TPU fid an awesome job. :respect:

Sounds to me like someone will be spanking it come the Chimp Challenge! :laugh:

That's going to be some monstrous folding action!

fullinfusion · Mar 2, 2014

@manofthem point me to what I need to know and Id gladly help out for the challange! Like i said before, I love to do burn in on my hardware from the start and what a burn in it'll be!

It's a sweet way to meet some cool fellow members helping out like crunching!

yotano211 · Mar 2, 2014

Why are you all talking about folding suddenly?

Have my desktops graphics for folding once I can open my window again.

Lack of time man, lack of time... going back to post #1 is also counter-intuitive, but there it was, great for the results, TPU #1 on all weeks

But you are correct, TPU fid an awesome job.

I'll be there next challenge

Manofthem pretty much summed it up- I put everything in the OP (post #1 and #2)... please let me know if I forget something there and I'll get them updated- I forget sometimes :oops:

** EDIT- we do have a challenge results thread here- I'll try to get it updated later today...

Here's some good practice spanking chimps. Oh, don't worry, this version's safe for work.

Innuendo aside, I think that game has been around since.. Middle school? Maybe High? 2003 ish?

I clicked on it before reading the whole post and closed it before it loaded LOL. Can't be too safe :laugh:

Norton · Mar 3, 2014

I'm pretty sure we're all set with the prizes now- please let me know if there are any outstanding issues and we'll get those resolved.

@stinger608- as discussed, I'll have your rig out to you by the end of the week but am still on the lookout for a replacement s1156 cpu for the bum i3-530. On a positive note- the Pentium dual core it has now seems to be running great!

Sounds like we are all wrapped up pretty much. I heard back from Doc41 today and the Thief Steam key worked without issue so he's finally taken care of 100%.

Between the bum i3 and the bum Thief game, we had a fair share of hiccups this challenge, but never do we let our spirits dampen!

Great work team and thanks to all for your hard work! :respect:

495 MPH woooot

yotano211 · Mar 4, 2014

I was only able to spank the monkey at 403mph.

Arjai · Mar 4, 2014

With my touch pad? 151 mph. Cooler Master Havoc, plugged in? 423 mph.

The CM Havoc spanks the Monkey well! :laugh:
