    The Unoffical Hexus Fastest Folder Competition

    Whats the competition?

    Well as some of you may be aware we have a Hexus Folding at Home team over in the distributed processing forum (HERE)

    But having followed Clunk's Overclocking guide for beginners, I've realised a LOT of you out there really aren't testing how well you've got your system overclocked.

    So this is a challenge set down to all of you overclocking people, Who out there can fold an SMP unit fastest. This is a SINGLE SMP unit, and i'll suggest we have 3 categories.

    1. Dual Core CPU's
    2. Quad Core CPU's
    3. Special systems... (anything out of the ordinary)

    So How do I compete?
    First things first, lets get you following the starting instructions here...

    For any results to count they of course need to be counted for Hexus's team.

    All i ask is that when you've got a work unit to challenge the leading times you PM me the log of the Work Unit, I'll add all the times and your usernames to a list and we can see which of you has the fastest overclocked system.

    A bit of History for you
    This isn't the first time we've had a bit of a competition, some of you may remember the great interest and prestige we had with a SuperPI to a million places competition, and the slightly surreal slowest computer to run superPI to a million places.

    Last but not least
    This is all unofficial. I can't see anyone minding but i'm hoping a fair few of you will take up the challenge.

    All the best in your attempts
    TiG

    Oooh, I'd be keen on this...I'll do one with my CPU at stock, and one with an overclock I know is stable (~3.2Ghz on an E6750, I'm sure it'll go higher but I'm not going to test anything higher just for a folding competition! )
