My 4790k 8t is kicking butt compared to each of the 12t X5670 chips... thread:thread about the same GHz. I swear the 4790k is one of the best consumer chips intel has put out to date.

Agreed.. definitely have loved my 4790k since I picked it up about almost 3 years ago. Still waiting for a reason to upgrade and was really hoping Ryzen would be it. And right now, it's not.. not yet anywho.

Turns out my WiFi adapter hanged for some reason and the PC couldn't upload completed tasks and ran out of tasks to do also because it has only 0.5 day buffer. Oh well at least is nothing serious

What kind of PSU are you using? Is there any over voltage/current protection behind it?

Its a zebronics ZEB-M450W.

And today is the last day of the CHALLENGE, after burners on!! Sounds like a few of us have had some hardware casualties: Downed rigs, fried psus, dead coolers... It's all in the name of science!

My second system didn't even get a chance to fire up for this challenge, I was waiting for a CPU, which turned up 2 days in, then the A.I.O. cooler carked it, so had to order a fan, which I am still waiting for.
I should have that early next week and will attempt to get it up and running and crunching anyway.

We have to give credit to the top 2 placements, Team China and XS. :respect:

They did really well with some amazing results!

This challenge brought about many positive changes for us: many of our team mates pulled out all the stops to increase their output, many past members came back to crunch with us, and the team enjoyed several new members join up with us! 3rd place is handsome and rock solid win for us!

Norton · Mar 31, 2017

Great job Team!!!!

We'll setup for the giveaway this weekend- can't do it tonight due to a disaster at work that I'm trying to get squared away. I have no idea how long I'll be at work today

Still waiting for the trucks and equipment to arrive....

Sasqui · Mar 31, 2017

What and incredible effort. Judging by the points only I racked up over the past week, the total CPU power thrown at this has been absolutely staggering!!! To @Norton @manofthem @thebluebumblebee ...and others and all, you Rock!

@Norton I got Fedex shipping labels again. If you need them I will provide them, just need the location. Or I will provide them to anyone to ship whatever to the winners, US and Canada only this time.

That is frigging amazing bro!!!!! :respect:

The couple of mice that I'm giving away; I'll pay the shipping on them. It will be minor so no worries for ya man.
They will go out via USPS Priority and most likely, me being in Wyoming will end up being 2nd day.

I have really discounted shipping through my work so I'm covered for my bundle, but I agree with stinger, great offer. :toast:

yotano211 · Apr 1, 2017

Oh I get free shipping offer(s)from Fedex for being a high rolling ebay seller. I usually give them away to family and friends but I mostly ship USPS and ebay buyers are the one who pay for the shipping. I get them to time to time.
