I can almost taste that 3 billion points now . . . Just imagine the levels we're going to be climbing to after the Pascal boards from nVidia hit the market? Gives me a warm and fuzzy in the cockles of my heart!

Awesome contest. Thanks everyone, and especially Punchy for putting all this together.
 
 

Exactly what species said. Big Thank you!

troy8d and Punchy, congrats on a well run competition.
Congrats to all the winners, unfortunately, I was not one of them this year. Fingerscrossed for next year..
 
It was a bumpy road for some of us with the Core 21 problems, equipment failures,
or just not being able to sit in front of your own computer to see what is going on, but it certainly made it interesting, frustrating but a LOT of FUN... See you all next year for the next TZC.
 
Looking forward to the 3 Billion, Fold on everyone, this will be a record that will be held for some time.....

Are you picking on me.

It was definitely an interesting challenge.

He may not be but I am now that the Eastern Team has dropped to -6% on their PPD.

Nice, looks like I got the FX-8150.  
It probably won't be used for folding though (maybe crunching) since it's power/performance ratio isn't the best compared to my Xeons. But I may end up getting a Crosshair V Formula-Z and see what it can do at subzero temps. 
 
Thanks, Troy8d, Punchy, Drougnor & everyone else for putting together and participating in such a great competition like always.
I'll be chugging along towards the 3 Billion with everyone else with just my 7950 now, these 780 Ti's eat too much power.

• I've gotten the word from Punchy that the prize winner's list has been double checked and is considered final - feel free to start the prize distribution!
• Its up to donors and winners to coordinate getting the prize into the winner's hands, though I am here to assist if any issues come up.
• Despite a few bumps along the way that are completely out of our control, its been a great Time Zone Challenge this year!   
• A HUGE thank you to drougnor, DutchForce, NotFordman, and Punchy for helping organize things; to all those who donated something to make this contest one of the funnest we've had in a while (including EVGA via Scarlet-Tech!); and to every person who took the time and effort to participate in the contest this year!!  
• Maybe we'll do it again next year...
• Onward to 3 Billion!!

tucker147,
I have some other older Xeon's here also,
 
2x E5345's
1x E5504
1x E5530 
 
Any use to anyone??

Depends, just the cpu or is there more?  Power I can spare.  I could use them for crunching, probably not folding due to lack of Video Cards. At least until my EVGA bucks grow fatter.

Oh well, I can't afford all the parts to make use of them.  Hope you can find a good home for them.

I might run a few WU tonight just to test my new loop.
 

 

Am I supposed to PM the winner or is the winner supposed to PM me?

I like the low-tech lifts!!!

What do you mean low-tech? Those are precision machined devices that took years to reach the ideal maturity of the tree that sacrificed its life to provide me with those PC elevation cubes.

I'm not sure you can squeeze anymore from those 980s. You're doing a great job especially being away from home. I have withdrawal pains just going to work knowing I have issues folding and you've been gone a month? How have you managed?

I can get another system online though ;-)

I have been in full panic. I promise.

Tree = low-tech. .. I still can't believe you got those from Amazon

Yep, and they were cheap too. Their measurements are absolutely perfect with an excellent sanding job. Each one is exactly the same size with no rough edges or flaws. I have information from a reliable source that they came from a genetically modified specially enhanced tree.

Okayyyyyy....lmao... you might want to get a "high-tech" finish on those miracle of engineering parts before they split.

The winners should PM the donors - at least that's what I wrote when I posted the winners, and it seems more appropriate.  For tangible prizes, winners should PM donors their shipping info (and other info like size if relevant).  The one exception is the prizes donated by EVGA; in that case send a  PM to Scarlet-Tech and he will bundle it all together and forward to his contact at EVGA.
