We need a little more berth for 1st place. Guy's I'm bringing the 4P-6176 server online tonight. I would appreciate it if you could bring some extra GPU's online for F@H to offset the 600K PPD that we will be losing by switching the server over.

Well, I've been a net loss there---I'm down about 7 G92 cards, the GTX470s, the GTX560TI448, and intermittently the HD7950. I'm hoping to get the HD7950 running stable again, but that will be all I can do

Awesome!!! :rockout:

I have 2x7770's up and folding for your crew

Output= I have no freaking idea??? Should be approximately equal to a 7870 :eek:

Added my fx4100 to crunching. At least I broke the min for prizes

Edit- I'd also like to add to the prizes if that's ok. Lots of little things from previous Humble Bundles, but great for people who don't have them.

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War Steam Key
2x Dungeon Defenders + All DLC Steam key
Crayon Physics Deluxe Steam Key
Splice Steam Key
Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP Steam Key
Cogs Steam Key
Swords & Soldiers HD Steam Key
Zen Bound 2 Steam Key
Avadon: The Black Fortress Steam Key
World of Goo, Anomaly, Osmos, and EDGE Steam Key (all in one)

Thanks a lot for the contributions!

I'll be working on the game giveaway tomorrow, getting it ready for this coming week, and I'm taking note of it

FYI #1: the game giveaway is going to be super ridiculous awesome!!!!
FYI #2: thanks to everyone! :respect:

I'll start folding again on the iGPU in my laptop. It's only good for maybe 1500 PPD, but it's all I've got for GPUs.

Peter1986C · May 12, 2013

I just put my PC to work on the GPU again for F@H, to help compensating for the transition of the Buck Nasty 4P machine to the WCG. It is "but" a Radeon HD 6670 DDR3 that is in the meantime still finishing up some DistrRTGen GPU WUs so my F@H PPD will be insignificant for ~1.5 days.

I had to shut down my rigs today for about an hour :mad:

A nasty thunderstorm rolled in with some insane lightning; the power went out twice, and that's when i shut them down. They're back up and running now

Summer brings the nastiest storms :shadedshu Glad to hear you weathered it ok

librin.so.1 · May 13, 2013

Had two thunderstorms since friday. Instructed someone who stayed home while I was away to unplug all the network cables while it's thundering && replug them after.

Had one more thunderstorm pass by just now, too...

IDK, I just unplug all the ethernet cables (I have LOADS of those) to protect my hardware. But leave the power on.
(BTW, over the last three years, my network switch lost 9 of its 16 slots due to lightning. One more and I'm gonna have to change it - all 7 are occupied, thus I can't pull through with just re-slotting

You seem to be doing fine so far- it takes a few days to get up to full speed. A single rig should be able to get from 3,000-5,000 points per day running at 100% 24/7

Check your output tomorrow night here:

WCG is cpu only at the moment. The gpu jobs are finished for now but may return in the future.

Just letting the team know that Ive been working on the game giveaway, and it should be up this evening.
Lots of chances to win!!! :toast:

The WCG team thinks it would be nice to invite the F@H boys into the game giveaway and thus the F@H team members are officially invited.

librin.so.1 · May 13, 2013

Do I need to vote on that, uhm, voting thingie?
...what do I need to select to have a chance at a Win7 key? xD
EDIT: OH WAIT. I am an idiot. I should quadruple-read things from now on ¬____¬

*shipping cost to be paid by the winner*

I'm donating it to the WCG crowd. I'm doing this for the good of the team and the crunching community and as such I want to stipulate that it goes to a recognised cruncher. Maybe someone that would do well with a better card to crunch with? I'd be pissed if it was given away just to be sold

Requirements to enter:
- Be an Active Cruncher for our Team for the past 6 months
- Have an average ppd of at least 1,000 ppd (using average column in the link below)
http://boincstats.com/en/stats/15/user/list/16/0/22175
- Pledge to use the card to Crunch, if GPU work is available, OR Fold, if it is not, for a minimum of 6 months for our Team(s)

Drawing for this card will be done on 5/19/2013 with the other hardware drawings (winning the card will not exclude you from other prizes)

If you meet the requirements and want to be added to the list please let me know

Thanks again to the54thvoid for his generous offer!!! :toast:

*Note on the shipping- card owner is in Scotland/shipping TBD following prize drawing*
