TPU's WCG/BOINC Team

I just noticed I have a solitary Help Stop TB work unit, it's been ages since I've seen one, I was beginning to think it had stopped. :D

Ha, 1 lonely wu. Those babies have been so few and far between, I've given up hope getting anywhere in that project.
 
So I ment to start a while ago but I just downloaded everything to start folding. may be a dumb question how do I register under team tpu?

Folding or crunching?
 
Hello folks, I just joined your WCG team yesterday. :toast:

Been doing this crunching thing off and on for about 3 years now and folding for about 5 years.

I'll see what I can do with this slow FX 8300 for the time being, but I have a bunch of Intel hexa & quad cores kicking around so who knows, I might slap another cruncher together out of them.

On behalf of the team welcome :toast:glad to have you
 
Welcome @DR4G00N - happy to have you aboard! :toast:
 
Welome aboard @Estaric and @DR4G00N :peace:

I got the QX9650 rig back up today @Norton, thanks to the ATI X1650 pro you sent. :toast:

TY @XZero450 for originally donating it ;)
 
I don't know if this is kosher but, If you like Wine and want a voucher for a $100 towards some very nice wines,

PM me for more info

I recently joined this site, and have become an "Angel". I used my voucher and got an amazing case of reds, my favorite. I am slowly working my way through them and so far, better than I expected.

WCG and Wine, well and my Motorcycle, are my Favorite things! Unfortunately, only two are safe together!! LOL!

It's been a few years, but I'm finally able to hop back on the Crunching train. This time with a new and improved rig!

Nice! :rockout:

My Ryzen screenshot should be posted early next week... just waiting for the SSD and HDD to come in :)

I'm really loving mine so far. Looking forward to see how it crunches. I hope your new build goes well!
 
Hey team, been a little absent this past week :( Trying to get back on track now as things settle down a bit. Hope everyone else has been doing well :)
 
I'm actually putting a Ryzen system together right now. Going to be ordering everything in the next few days.

I'm curious to see what kind of PPD that 1600 does.
 
@RealNeil @stinger608 , etc.. moving the chat over to this thread ;)

I have two of these Rise Chassis. They are pretty awesome for the price.

I just got a third system up and crunching. It's a Ryzen 1700X with a pair of 8GB RX480 Gigabyte GPUs in it.
It's running 16 jobs at a time and it seems to be finishing them as fast as my i7-6850K is doing.
I like it.

For whoever was asking about the dual radiators in a case, I got it for $109 shipped from newegg. Tons of options, and I think it's just a great overall case for it's price.

Fractal Design Define R5 Black Window Silent ATX Midtower Computer Case

Water cooling compatibility
  • Front – 360, 280, 240, 140 and 120 mm radiators of all thicknesses (requires removal of drive bays)
  • Top – 420, 360, 280, 240, 140 and 120 mm radiators. (A thickness limitation of 55mm for both radiator + fan applies on 420, 280 and 140 mm radiators) (420 and 360 mm radiators require removal of the ODD bay)
  • Bottom – 120 or 240 mm radiator (Use of radiators in the bottom position limits the PSU length to 165 mm)
  • Rear – 120 or 140 mm radiator
