As many of you know my daughter fought cancer in 2009 when she was 13 and is fine today and 19. At that time I started pushing Folding@Home on a website and friend and I run, Bjorn3D.com.

Now I have been diagnosed with cancer and since Folding@Home helps do work fighting cancer and other disease battles I am having a contest again next month.

The contest is you must Fold@Home for team 41608 which is the Bjorn3D team. Your goal is to Fold for the Bjorn3D team.  For every 500,000 points you will get one entry.  At the end of the month we will have a drawing for a GTX Titan Black going to first drawn, second drawn gets the GTX 780TI 3rd drawn gets an EVGA 1600W Power Supply. The only rule is you must live in the USA or have a USA shipping address.
 
The contest will run from October 1st to October 31st.

You can check team status here: http://folding.extremeoverclocking.c...php?s=&t=41608

You can get the Folding Client here: http://folding.stanford.edu/

NOW DO NOT WORRY ABOUT Prod_Eng_Tesla-Stephanie. That is our Tesla rack that is Folding in my daughters
name and does not count in the contest.

There will be a thread on our Facebook page that you can post on with your Folding name at the start of the
contest.

You can start Folding now if you wish to tweak your machines and see if rig can do it. Good luck to all and I will promote more as we get closer to October.

Not holding back at all.  Whoever does the most points over the month of October will be the winner, with the next person being in second place and the next after that in 3rd place.

Here is a better link to Bjorn3D.Com  http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_summary.php?s=&t=41608
I Fold 7x24 about 437,700 for a daily avg. and will until I no longer can.
I Fold under Team folding@evga In the winter I may add a few more GPUs in the mix.

Just wanted everyone to know that the OPs post has been cleared by EVGA management beforehand. 

I want to thank Joe and his team for letting me post this on the forums and for all the support the community is giving me on this!!!

I believe the deterministic nature of your prize scheme will turn away many folders. Why don't you do something like "Fold for Bjorn3D team in October for more than X points, and you will be entered in a drawing. For each X points, you will have an additional entry."? X can be, idk, 3 million points...
 
This way, may more folders will join in because they will know they have a shot ;)
 
 

Liked your idea and changed the contest.

Liking the change, opens it up to more people.

Also love the cause and the back story.

Thanks for your thoughts gang.

Sorry EVGA... Just moved over to team 41608 for a few weeks.  :-) I will finish the work units the night prior to the start, and then start folding day of.  :-) Hopefully there is a big turnout for this cause.

Sending some Hope your way, Scott!

My gtx 980 will be here tomorrow, should be enough time to have it going full force by the first. Might leave the old gtx 470 in there too for a little extra. As long as the drivers play nice. I'm coming to get you, all of you 

If out side temps drop some I just mite do a few mill. points for your team just for the hell of it.That way I can check every thing out for the TZC.

Count me in, I'll swap over probably tomorrow.

wished I had the right hardware to fold :(

Short Derp moment ahead:
 
While waiting for my x99 parts to arrive, I had a buddy ask to buy Little Brother.  Of course I say, but I have already sold the power supply, unfortunately and only have this EVGA 1300G2 that is still in the box.  He says, I will order a 750 G2, so can I borrow the spare you have temporarily, since they will have the same cables, and we can switch them out.. Of course, I say, then unplug the power supply to Older Brother, and take the power cable since it was easier to reach than the one in Little Brother, and I run little brothers power cable to Older Brother... but never plug it in... So, I have been getting serious shut downs for 4 days now, and was trouble shooting and never thought to look at the back of the secondary power supply.. simply plug in the wall cable to the power supply and I am back online and folding again...
