Thanks for the recommendations guys, I'll keep an eye out for a few cases, see if I can get anything through Ebay or something just to try and keep the costs down... Be good to get them in a case out the way, I've too much laying about on the desks just open to Sophia using her fingers or trying to play with them :laugh:

Massive apologies guys, I'd been collecting the data and never mentioned/uploaded the damn results!!

Could the real crap captain put his hands up....

Whilst we are on the subject (crap captain aside) would anyone have any objections to joining any of these?

Whilst I remember to post and ask about it.......

Don't worry too much about it

I don't see any reason not to? I mean, if the process is as simple as clicking "Join" and doesn't entail anything else, might as well.

Though, I'm a bit surprised they run for such a short time, I thought they tended to be either months long or year long.

This is the best time of the year for us to be in challenges.

Sounds good to me also (unless it involves a lot of work for @phill).

Let us know if you sign up for them so I can change to all MCM for the 15th-31st.

phill · Jan 5, 2022

I thought I'd mentioned about the challenge and then not put up any of the damn results... Bloody numpty lol

Still, I'll click on join for as many as you like if you all wish to do a few?

It's literally a click of a button I think, so very little effort from me

thebluebumblebee · Jan 5, 2022

Click away!

I already switched to MCM for the next upcoming challenge because it takes quite some time to get MCM's validated. :confused:

Switching to MCM? That's basically all I get assigned. Haven't had a job for HSTB in who-knows-how-long

HSTB come along only in small numbers.
But you do know that you can change device profiles over at www.worldcommunitygrid.org to change preference for work assignment? :toast:

I guess I'd known in a general sense that such a thing was possible, but wasn't concerned enough about it to learn how.

A few days ago I noticed that my old 7770 had a faulty fan so I tested the easy solution. Since the OPNGs has increased in size and the points don’t follow the big hitters at the top three teams and a few others found other use for their GPUs leaving a lot for the rest us. This PC uses around 50 W extra running two OPNGs concurrent so the net result is 45° C for the chip. There are no other sensors so I hope that all is well. It has been running like this no-stop all day and still have 12 hours worth of jobs left.

Caring1 · Jan 13, 2022

I noticed the OPNGs used to say estimated run time 15 minutes on my machine, now they say 44 minutes and I have been running them non stop since yesterday and I still have heaps to go.

Yes and you are not the only on the team, @phill is busy as well. The team reached our normal points after the second update, 4 hour before the final update.

I didn't do nothin' I promise!! :eek:

I've only had a few machines on today, it seemed sunny to start with so I've had the two 3070s folding, the 3900X, 3950X and 5950X crunching away (the 5950X has one of my 1080TIs in, so it's been folding away a bit today too) and the points seems to have gone nuts for me today! Very impressed

Absolutely no Rosetta at all from me today @mstenholm

I'm looking forward to more sunnier days where its not just a few hours (even though the electric has been killed today lol) I'm happy to be putting in a bit more effort than normal

Jacky_BEL · Jan 14, 2022

I 'll have some OPNG too. :laugh:
