This means, get your gaming in before challenge starts :laugh:

And I recall thinking I had ample time to get things ready before challenge starts, but man did time seem to fly by and leave me behind.

Yep, and one should get the rigs fired up and crunching in the next day or two as they need to "ramp up" to be putting out consistent numbers prior to the challenge start date. :toast:

Finally seem to have gotten my FX 8370 running 100% just in time!

Before it would crash at anything over 80% crunching at a random interval. So I did some Prime95 runs so I could catch an error actually happening. Turned off Turbo Core, and voila. 100% at 4.0 ghz is better than 80% at 4.3ghz.

NastyHabits · Mar 15, 2017

I'll be crunching away.

BarbaricSoul · Mar 15, 2017

my 20 threads will be going, just as they normally are.

too bad I can't afford to upgrade to a Ryzen rig just yet, I would donate my 860 system's cpu/mb/ram/HS as a prize.

Going to try to add an FX-8150 and 8350 before the challenge- will probably add them to the TPU_remembers_Kreij account so expect some help from Dean for this one

Update- got the FX-8350 up and running. Count on those 8 cores to crunch in Dean's memory for now and possibly 8-12 more cores soon! :toast:

Note that the official challenge thread should go live tonight, tomorrow night at the latest.

manofthem · Mar 17, 2017

Last night I disassembled the 4790 rig, and today I set it up on my desk. I got it running and log into with TeamViewer as it's just the pc, no peripherals or monitor. It's crunching now but I'm keeping an eye on the temps since it's been overheating, not sure why; I assume the h80i is going out.

Had to run out to take my girls to see Beauty and the Beast so I'll check it when I get home.

XZero450 · Mar 17, 2017

I just upped my 5660 max usage and installed WCG on my workstation after swapping the 2695 in.. My MPower should be back tomorrow.. Too bad I don't have another PSU.

LightningJR · Mar 18, 2017

I'm spooling up the cranks.

Time is drawing nearer.

Challenge thread is up!

Head on over to this thread:

Still working on the prize post but should have that up by tomorrow at the latest.

Arjai · Mar 19, 2017

I will be in this but, just with my Asus Ultra-book Lappy-Top. I currently do not have wifi at home. I did pick up an i3 from work. It's a small work station w/ an unusual power cord that I need to find. Don't have the details with me. Perhaps, Thursday I will have time to check out my options.

Once I get my Fasfa loan, I will get wifi again and fire up at least one more Cruncher (gotta keep the power bill in check!). My bill is currently about $30 a month, down from 90 bucks (when I was running all four Crunchers!) If I had the money, I would love to get them replaced with more efficient machines! Oh well, if I can get the i3 running, that is a small energy eater.

Anyway, Let's WIN this Thing!! TPU Cruncher's Rule!!

BTW, awesome prize list!!
