Ok fellow dragons, I've finally got my full complement of flame fuel and will try to light up some WUs ... the sick 2600k was pretending and just needed an OS that wasn't buggy. Network is back up and HFM is reporting around 100k PPD ... I might just hit that 110 / day and I've yet to get the OC back on the 2600k

first million down!

Good job.  .  I also noticed you will pass me in a year.
 
I got a problem, the summer heat is already warming up this month.  2 months earlier than it should.  I will try to keep what I have running now, going through the month.  My house A/C is strong and will easily cool the house in 100*F heatwaves.  But my little room still gets a little warm.  If I have to sacrafice a piece of hardware, it would be the GTX560 since its the biggest heat producer left that is folding.  Which will leave me with the i7 930 & 2600k to fold on, giving approx. 34k PPD.

well, in order to keep us from finishing the week in last place, i have secretly added a some extra horsepower... i would really like to see everyone finish off week 2 with a strong showing and push as hard as we can. as of this moment we are only 25k points behind the prophets. we don't want to finish last, do we?

Found my A/C cooling issue, my fault.  I forgot that I shut the vent to my room to keep the room cooler in the winter.  I re-open them in the summer to allow A/C in the room.  So I will contuine on with what I have.
 
Don't know if this is a good idea, but I'm thinking about stuffing the GTX470 in my Kara rig.  Its been off for a while, don't know if the PSU will handle the GTX470.  But then again, I did have it powering a GTX560 Ti and 9800GT at the same time (barely).  This time, it would be just the GTX470.  If it works, it would be an extra 25k PPD.

hey guys, just so everyone knows whats up. i'm gonna have to stop folding for the next 3 days or so(will be back up late sat, pacific time). i'll be entering 1 unit mode on my err system to remove my err "hardware tweaks" at around 11:30pm.

^_)^

With what you've done over the past couple of days, I doubt you'll hear any complaints ...
 
Hope to have your "err system" back online soon ... but, do come back regardless

Projected ppd 85, contest ppd > 2,000.....gg

yeah... so it was not my intent to continue folding at uh, well this rate past the end of the 1st round. it seems that I lack the ability to turn it off(without dumping all of my in process wus). I'm going to see if troy has any ideas.

sorry to all on the other team, keep folding like i'm not a rat and i'm gonna work on it from both ends.

Before you feel too badly, or, take too much you know what, it might be interesting to look at all of the PPD estimates in relation to what was produced for the qualifying round.  I'll leave it at that ...

troy has agreed to voluntarily cap my production at 120 Cppd which should be more or less fair. i'm all for keeping things close in our bracket though, just as long as the final push that gets us over the finish line-- that can't come from me.
