Got bitten a couple of times over the last day or so ... rig with new mobo BSOD'd late p.m. yesterday after running for more than a week.  It wasn't too bad since I was able to get it back up within a couple hours.  But, it went down again this morning after I had left for work
 
Bumped up Vc a tad and will watch it as closely as possible through the end of Madness.  Doesn't look like this little bump will be a problem since Dip poured on the coal at the end ... Thanks Dip! 

the contest ended last night
troy just hasn't gotten around to stopping the stats

Year 2013: The Yearly FOLDING MADNESS has come Once again
 
Greetings Dragons & Tigers to another Pilgrimage to our Sacred Dojo.
 
 
Another year has past and we competing to display our competence and ability to combat Virus and our fellow EVGA members. Lets show your prowess and overcome your opponent(s) and hopefully kill disease at the same time     
 
Motto
"Being a real ninja means living a good life, a life under the sun - a special place in the sun; to love people, to understand nature and animals, and to love the universe. This type of love I speak of must have a kind of balance in it: It is not only give and take, it is also give and return. The mind of a ninja is a mind of mercy, a mind of God. It is a state of mind that must be kept in order to live a straight, moral life."

"Looking for the meaning of life, one man can discover the order of the universe. To discover the truth, to achieve. a higher spiritual state, that is the true meaning of ninja.."

I see the threads have open up I wonder were everything was. Hopefully I will be adding my a 2nd GTX680 here soon before the contest ends.
 
But than again maybe I should not with the way the points are being counted still not understanding the changes seems like a lawyer wrote the new changes lol.

  And if Madrias doesn't have quite enough gas, I owe him some!

got my rigs running here

Already in the first week, now my folding rig gives me trouble.  Hopefully it will be a quick turn around when I get back home after work.

*Removed Madris' firework surprize before they go off*
 
Quartz is back up and folding.  Thats twice the Z77 Stinger has suddenly gone off on me.  This time I cleared the CMOS and stuck with basic settings to get by.  Hopefully no more issues till next month.

troy has an announcement

I want the team to chime in and see what would work better for the team
 
He has two options please look them over an analyze the team and post if you can provide additional production
 
my estimate is 160k 
(3) 670 - pulling 22-38k each (depending on WU...that 115k max
(1) 570 - pulling 22-28k
(rig2)smp 25-48k
(rig1)smp 10-25 (3-way sli rig)
that's 130-220k max for me
I just bought new hardware - so Im not getting any more
I might eke out 5k more on an increased OC
 
I put in an average - right now Im lucky to meet 160k because of new beta WU's
if I can catch a few 762x's I'll make it

You need to try under volting not under clocking....I have my 560TI at 1.0370 V and tops out at 81c on 7626s

THat sux asus, wish I had a loaner GPU. Are you running air cooled or water?

Ya'll's Krazee... oh no wait... that's the other team!

got the 980X up and folding on a old 1/4 inch custom watercooling setup overclocked to 4GHz with temps around 70 degrees on 10 cores at around 23,000ppd
