That's probably 30k in WCG points...

i had assumed that was the number in question. so people are scoring 200,000 PPd!
Here i am pissing on a forest fire....

The gap widened just a hair from yesterday. So small that it seems like TPU'ers are throwing more cores at it. I have to get home and fire up my laptop, every FLOP counts

Made me think of this...

I'm up to 98 cores/140 threads (14 cores/20 threads of those running for other team members atm) :cool:

Was hoping to get up to an even 100 cores, which I have if I count the 2 cores running for DorothyDot atm (I take care of the maintenance on that one so it kinda counts)

Awesome!!! I might have had a measily 8 threads more if I could have flashed the BIOS on a MB... but that may get resolved next week. Got 20c/40t going with my laptop

Speaking of laptop... 100% happiness here... and the sound of fans blowing.

infrared · Feb 28, 2018

I've got 28c/52t threads running atm, both ryzen's clocked as high as I dare for the challenge

1800x wc'd on crosshair vi hero @ 4.1ghz 1.425v
1800x hyper 212 evo on Asus B350 plus @ 3.9ghz 1.36v (vrm's were toasty so had to rig up another fan)
6700k wc'd @ 4.6ghz as always
then 2x i3's and an old amd apu.
Oh, and my sony xperia Z5

stinger608 · Mar 1, 2018

I currently have 52c/100t running for this challenge.

Soon though, I'll have another 16c/32t to add to my crunching farm..........

Norton · Mar 1, 2018

Less than 24 hours to go!

Challenge ends tomorrow, March 1st, at midnight (7pm Eastern US)- keep the hammer down and let's go for strong finish!!!

4x4n · Mar 1, 2018

32c/64t going for me. Would really like to upgrade from my X99 but the prices of everything have gotten so out of hand its hard to justify.

blindfitter · Mar 1, 2018

@infrared I've got 28c/52t threads running atm, both ryzen's clocked as high as I dare for the challenge

'OOOO' Now thats where I'm going wrong,

All at stock here, dropped the one's i can over clock, and reduced power draw by up to 25% also switched off at the pcie lane 1 of 2 Kingpin EVGA 780ti's, that machine when gaming pull's around 800watts alone at present 300watts. 4930K

Pulled the disc's from Nas Box Hp-Gen 8 and slipped in Linux Hd on E3-1265L

6700K wc'd Daily,

1700X wc'd Dedicated Cruncher, 3770k Air Dedicated Cruncher and a E5-2620 v2 Dedicated Cruncher

Giving 32 cores 64 threads to the Team challenge total power, slightly north of 1 kWh.

phill · Mar 1, 2018

Apologises for today guys, my solar not giving me much help considering the snow but I'll get the misses to put the server and desktop on when she wakes up as I had to go to work lol That'll be about 20 threads or so chugging along again

Norton · Mar 1, 2018

Day 6 Results!

Still hanging close to XS at a solid 2nd place but don't stop now! :cool:

2 HRS TO GO- KEEP ON CRUNCHING!!!

Bow · Mar 1, 2018

I am leaving my job for a new one and had to uninstall wcg from a couple work systems, but I did leave it running on a pc in a seldom used back office. Could be months before anyone uninstalls it.

Norton · Mar 2, 2018

Challenge is done- final results are pending but we've hit a solid 2nd place behind XS :toast:

Great job Team and congrats to XtremeSystems on a job well done!!!

Next Up....

Boatvan · Mar 2, 2018
