WOW !!!!!! , we are down 11 folders (with some heavy hitters in there too) compared to the 4 EM has as "no shows" I guess at this point if I can bring some extra hardware into the equation on the weekends it won't make a dent..... Oh well, FOLD ON TO THE FINISH!!!!!

BadBertie is up and running and triharder is sitting on a pile of hardware that could fold 5x his estimated PPD if he gets it up and running...ummm, I mean give up now - there is no hoap!  EM FTW!!

Changed my strategy

10 Million PPD difference between EM and CPO, and we thought it was going to be a close finish line.....

Huh!
23 million is more like it.

 
Oh my bad, you said ppd. Sorry Steve.

The NO SHOW's have really hurt our PPD,
 
I am still working hard here to put a dint in that lead..

I'm trying to help. Will build a rig this weekend ......... kind of late to the party but it should hopefully help a bit

Looking at the estimated vs actual ppd, there are some serious understatement for some folders, but a small amount of overstatement as well.

My 970 churned out 11 work units as if this morning around 8am. The 1080 turned out almost 3 times as many at 32. This Pascal generation is way better than previous generations. There wasn't as much gap between my 970 and 760 when they were the combo I used.

Quick off topic question. Can I pause my client and replace my ram without messing up my wu?

After the challenge, my 1070 will have definitly deserved the Thermal pads from EVGA, learnt about the ACX 3.0 thermals yesterday. Not too worried as for mine since i have 2 intake, both, pushing air from Low to high, ordering a Tube of MX4 soon.
 
Yeah , didnt thought about how much of an inpact Unplugging my monitor from the GPU would have affected my PPD that much. definitly should have did a quick day test before.

Newsflash!  The first 2 days of the contest were a calibration run to determine the true PPD of all contestants.  The result shows a difference of 10M PPD between the coalitions.  The teams will now be rebalanced as follows to make a closer race:
 
EP (Eastern + Pacific): 52.4M PPD
CMO (Central, Mountain, Other): 54.8M PPD

Hey, all. Up here in the Northern Denver suburb of Lafayette, CO, this past October has tied with two other years as the second-most warmest month on record according to the NWS. I've kept my AC off except when it gets >80 degrees F, but have only used AC for about 5 days.
 
If the weather keeps up like this or a tad cooler, I may only have to rely on a couple PCs to warm the place up without using the HVAC system ... sweet, since my energy bill won't be affected as much! Just in time for the TZC!

Lafayette that is really a suburb of Boulder
But we Still Welcome you, SW Corner Denver Metro (Littleton)
Really Glad Our Temps Dropped this week.
 

You two are pretty high up there. I am at sea level in the North East part of Florida (Jacksonville) where it is supposed to get cold. (not like Denver) It appears we are not going to have a winter.

Well they are in Co. aren't they... Yeah the mile high city, that's it, that's what I meant.

Wondering how long it would take for someone to catch that. It was teed up saying "hit me"

Oh and I thought you were talking about the Other High

I would set then to Finish let them complete and then replace the Ram, Ram is not really needed all that much.
Your PPD/Credit may drop when you Pause.

I was playing by your joke , Anyways my CPU just does 10-15k Per day 24/7 so yeh :P

Don't worry, I wasn't counting adding CPU folding as "too fired up" (sadly enough as a former CPU folder myself)

Yep! this would be a different Game if we all had our BigAdv Rigs Folding BigAdv Projects right now.

Hey guys look - we're

 By 20,000 Coin on Top but will soon be in our 6.
But we also have to account for the Folders that Fold for the Bucks and then drop out once they have them.

My folding Happen the nights and the long reddit browsing , but in games sessions i leave it off, hence my 250-300k PPD in normal times.

if it would help I'll get out and push.
 
my PPD is in the tank.  I'm about 300k 200k under where I should be.  grrr
 
I'm trying to fire up one of my older machines but its not going to help much my big stuff is already folding its heart out.
 
don't care about winning..  just racing for the cure!
