• Just a quick reminder to everyone that there is only two days left to donate prizes before the prize pool is locked and the selection process begins. Once again a big thanks to all of our incredible team members who have been incredibly generous in donating prizes this year! 

Speaking of which, does anyone thing a Samsung Chromebook XE303C12 from 2012 is a worthwhile prize?  It's still an awesome email and web surfing machine, runs Chrome OS and can do lots of stuff with Google apps.
 
P.S.  A big thank you for your service to guns and any other veterans

they never updated the rules,, it still stated the 250k, i knew about the 3 teams though

The site has been updated to reflect the 200 million points.  Sorry for any confusion, I'm extremely busy these days and sometimes a few of the details slip through the cracks.

I think it would be a fantastic prize to choose from.

Whole lot of new prizes added today, thank you guys for adding them. I think this is the most prizes I've ever seen.

+1!
Big thanks to AcesofDeath7 for adding a whole pile of Steam games!
At last count, there are roughly 70 prizes, and less than 80 contestants, so pretty much everyone that wants a prize will probably get one.  That is simply awesome and shows the generosity of EVGA and our teammates!

So far Bruce, over at Folding forums has been replying. I am trying to relay the best information possible. It is coming down to him saying that any overclock may be the issue. I venture to guess that is going to be the only response I get honestly.

He did say this: There are reports of this sort of error with 171.64.65.56.

Problem is, he has access to information we are not able to access, so I am not sure.

Thank you un4givn85, I will share this with him, and see what he says.

I had this error trying to get another WU. I guess it just switched me to a different server:

Speaking of prizes, would an older GTX 460 have any value as a prize?

I'm sure it would be useful to someone.  I figure, add it to the prize pool; if someone wants it, it will get picked; if not, no harm done.

Figured I would clean out my Steam Inventory of games that were just sitting there.  With all of the generous Thanks being giving to us Veterans, I thought that all my fellow Folding TZC competitors deserved a chance to win something this time.  Hope that there is a game or two that someone will like to win.

The pro bridge v2?
Yes, those are very nice.

I swear on all that is sacred, Folding is starting to break. I've experienced two major system slowdowns within 24 hours and they went away as soon as I quit the F@H program.
 
EDIT: if I leave the second 980 running on its core 21 project I have no real issues at all, but the top 980 that's running a core 18 9136 has an ETA of 130 days... could the GPU be failing?

It's good it quickly switched servers. I will let him know so he can see that it did properly switch over and it did it really fast.

It looks like, if my ppd keeps going well, I may actually do fairly decent compared to the last few days. Will know in 20 minutes.

There was another error I have never seen before this morning.

Is it 130 days after showing at least 5% completed?
Myself I had 12 BAD_WORK_UNIT overnight that was 50% on one rig alone.

I have fewer problems folding on a single board. I even get better ppd averages. It must be you two that are overloading and breaking things especially since it stopped when Drazhar quit folding.

I think that it is more of a Central Problem then an individual problem.
PS The Pun Central is Intended 


I may have already said this, but It is tough to talk smack when you are folding for Eastern. I have not had the WU problems you guys are posting - running 3 gpus since one of my 780s needs an RMA.
