My rigs still got time to spool up, then. What exactly does it mean our challenge is hosted by SETI.Germany?

stinger608 · Nov 12, 2018

Hosted by = Created By = the guys that sent out the invitation plus I'm sure that they will be sure that the daily point system that they host will work.

yotano211 · Nov 13, 2018

I will be in this one this time, since trucking driving school doesnt start until Jan.

CrAsHnBuRnXp · Nov 13, 2018

CrAsHnBuRnXp · Nov 16, 2018

Damn Germany being a day ahead! My cousin is here but I haven't gotten to build it yet

Bow · Nov 16, 2018

Everything back to WCG.

TheoneandonlyMrK · Nov 16, 2018

just got my ol rig running , i cant run it flat out though it gets too hot under the worst and only spare cooler i had but ill try and up it during the comp, happy warm crunching all.

T-Bob · Nov 16, 2018

Count me in, better late than never :slap:

I guess

CrAsHnBuRnXp · Nov 16, 2018

I am up and running on my 9900K at around 5GHz

hat · Nov 16, 2018

@CrAsHnBuRnXp Could you show a Coretemp screenshot of that? Temps would certainly be interesting (assuming that's WCG) as well as the "Power" value. Also if you enabled MCE, did any other manual overclocking, messed with power settings?

Been running like this all night. The only thing I did was enable XMP II in the BIOS. And yes, it is WCG.

phill · Nov 17, 2018

That's one way of breaking in a CPU

5Ghz crunches with WCG

Very nice

13th place for the first day of the challenge

Doing very well

I think there must have been a few other teams keeping back results as some have motored ahead!!

hat · Nov 17, 2018

@CrAsHnBuRnXp I don't see a power reading there. That's kinda why I asked for coretemp

Bow · Nov 17, 2018

power was out for a couple hours today, but back up and running.

My bad. I spedread it and just saw temp and assumed realtemp

phill · Nov 18, 2018

Moved up into 12th!!

Great work everyone!!

I think if we continue the same speed, we should be able to get ourselves up into the top 10 if everyone else is as constant......

Just over 4.5 days left.....
