He used to fold here. Also, for OCN.

Do you guys run any monthly events I could fold his card in for him to show up on? I have almost all of his passkeys.
 
Ok, should be dropping points today here.
 
Sorry to hear this. He started the thread in the Lounge called Mike's Music Club. One of the more popular threads there and I regularly use it.
 
I never knew him, but really sorry to hear he’s passed. Sounds like a great guy.
 
Thats what I get for working too much, missing news like this. We chatted a few times many years ago.

Rest in peace, brother

50 is quite young by today's standard. Brad McQuade also passed away in late 2019 at the same age. He was the lead programmer/designer of Sony Online Entertainment's Everquest for a while. Before his passing, he was working on a new MMORPG "Pantheon" or something like that.

Yeah, he was a cool guy. Glad I still had the GPU. We actually have an event on EHW it's folding in, and it's doing really well being water-cooled and all. Just parts I had in reserve from long ago were used and some prizing from an event.
 
Remember him when I was folding at full force here. Will switch my machines in his honor.

 
I pushed the power up from 141 watts to 150 watts in the bios today on his 960. Do you need a passkey for him?
 
I forgot to add the advanced flag, so I did that yesterday. Now she's really rolling. 1560 MHz GTX 960 and it has a little more headroom with the power limit raised, but I'll just stay here for now. The card may even win the competition it's in.

Going to switch the team #, but it'll return next month sometime.

RIP this man he must've been a great guy here.
 
Switching it back over to your team tonight. Also, it's in that event I posted about. It's actually dominating the whole event on moonshot so terribly that it's wrecked our handicapping model. It went from 325k PPD or so up to 620k or better on those projects, and kept continuously getting them.

Anyway, I hope everyone is doing well. Glad to see your team is folding quite well. Nice work!
