ive been secretly crunching for the past few weeks under cover

 

[Bow]

Yes!!!
Count me all in

 

[stinger608]

Well, I'm always in.

Not in for any of the prize drawings though, as I won the most amazing prize that I could expect in the last go around.

 

[Boatvan]

I am so in. I missed the last challenge while moving and I'd love to contribute for TPU once more! Better do some maintenance on the farm...

not for long

 

[yotano211]

I'll be in with all of my rigs, they are mostly all celeron g3920 and 1 i5 7500t. I'll need to install BOINC on every machine.

 

[phill]

I'll be joining in as best I can I need some more PSUs for some more cores to work at home !!

 

[kenkickr]

I'm in. Have the i5 and 1800x going at it. Will fire up the i7 6700k.

 

[BarbaricSoul]

I'm in as always

 

[T-Bob]

I'm good to go for a challenge. All systems crunching already

 

[Sasqui]

Same here lol And... I had this on my calendar. The two x58 rigs will be watched closely, firing up my 4790k, a Laptop and hopefully a second 4790k (if I can get a MB up and running with it)

 

[Zachary85]

I'm also in as always. I should have the rest of my crunchers back to work by tomorrow.

@Norton and @T-Bob, do you know what IC's are on those Corsair rams? I have a 2 sets of 2x4gb. Corsair Dominators with samsung and Mushkin Redline with hynix. Both are nice clocking sets, I'd be willing to add to the cruncher to make it a quad channel set up if they will work with the Corsair LPX.

Might have a home for that ram kit on another combo

More challenge prizes coming up- will update later this evening....

 

[4x4n]

Alright, that'll work too. Just let me know

 

[The Data Master]

Been waiting for a new challenge. Can't wait to see my 2 new crunchers in action. Especially since it is a points challenge and not runtime.

Newbie calling ,

How do you join the challenge?

and what do you have to do ?

and When?

 

[T-Bob]

@Norton the ram kit is a Corsair vengeance LP 2 x 4GB (model CML8GX3M2A1600C9) I have no idea which IC's it uses but I can find out if needed?

and When?

I believe all the info needed to join is in the OP. Challenge begins 2-23-2018 and runs through 3-1-2018. All you need to do is run WCG for team TechPowerUp for the duration of the challenge, on any systems that you can donate time on.
