Countdown to 100 million points for www.HEXUS.net

[Tattysnuc]

Two 500K'ers done, another one will be in time easily (have been folding 24/7 since Sunday morning, I'm maxing out at 6500PPD on my X4), not sure about another one.

Who will be there to look at our score @ 00:01 March 1 Stanford time?

I think that it's about 6am tomorrow morning UK time, so I'll know when I get up what the score was at that time and I'll post it up if no-one has done it before me...

[Tattysnuc]

OK, I've fired up the twin GTX 480's to get as many points in before the deadline as possible as the BIGADV unit on that rig wont complete in time. I'll leave these running overnight.

To confirm I have 2 BIGADV units ready over the next 3 hours plus whatever the gfx cards process....

GTX 295 (2 GPUs folding)
GTX 285
GTX 480 (2 gpus folding)
GT 9600

and a partridge in a pear tree.....

Good news from Scan today. ITX board should be here soon.... They've just got more stock in...

Nice one Tatty, so you just had two 'spare' 480s floating around then did ya?

MY SMP client ISN'T at 70-odd percent, it was at 36%, so I won't be getting it done by close of play, on a positive note I'm at 90th place now

[Rob_B]

Bumped my CPU to 3.53Ghz from 3.33, upped the V by .1V (probably didn't need to but don't want any BSODs)
Temps are already at 61C whereas load is usually 55C !

Trying to get this SMP WU through before I got to bed about 10:30 !

wish I did.... Shame that they intefere with the BIGADV processing. Instead of my rig putting out 55k ppd it would put out 85k if the GPU's needed no help from cousin Intel....

Just put the ps3 on, but can't help more than that

[The_Wheelhouse]

800points behind you Wheelhouse! I'll pass you today I reckon

You're 600 ahead of me. I just put the ps3 on I might be able to just claw that back

[Rob_B]

Well a 200mhz OC gets the time per % down to 8 or 9mins instead of 12 or 13, still got 46% to go though so won't make the deadline

[Teamsreth]

SMP at 72%, will complete at midnight ish. Then should get a smaller one done by 8am.

[Repressor]

One million points in 7 hours?

29th of February anyone?

[Golden Dragoon]

It's not a leap year though lol

[Repressor]

It's not a leap year though lol

We can pretend

[Golden Dragoon]

Possibly, but I don't think my boss will understand, he expects me back to work on the 1st, not the 2nd with vague claims that someone on a forum told me it was the 29th of February

[1stRaven]

and we hit a total of 99,237,759.

Even though its disappointing to miss the 10 million, 11,255,865 points in a month is a massive total and just over 2.5 million points better than any other month.

Well done everyone!

[Rob_B]

Yeah it is a shame to miss it but good show all

[Tattysnuc]

Aye. Tremendous effort everyone! So near. So very near.

Imagine what we could do if we had Lowe etc still contributing.... As it is we've climbed several places, produced 10x the amount we were producing when I joined and warmed up the UK a little bit (and several other places....)

Nice.
