Will get my 5930k setup for this. May possibly have another 48 cores to add as well. But that will depend on a few things that are yet to be determined.

I can crunch the first few days on 4 i7 cores, but out of town after that.

Other than disabling HT and setting my OC back up I'm ready. Now just to be sure I'm reading this correctly it starts tomorrow just after 10:30 CST correct? Want to make sure I'm ready at the start. Unfortunately my additional 48 cores won't be here in time.

Should be 5:34pm for Central time. Google said it was 6:34pm for eastern time.

Lol, thats what I meant. Not sure why I was thinking 10 even after looking.

Under 10 minutes to show time.
 

And we're off.
Good luck everyone.

If it ever cools down here I'll join in....give 'em hell boys!

Finally up and running. Sorry for the delay.

Finally up and running. Sorry for the delay.

No worries, glad to have you aboard. I am happy to get a few more points ahead of "Duke". We were trading places for the number five  and six spots.
We seem to be holding on to 5th now for a while!
 

Well I should be dropping my first units within the last 30 minutes or so. So hopefully it's enough.

Hi mates,
My internet has been out for few hours and the rigs are finishing the units in reserve. Won't be able to return them or get new ones until cable is back up.

I bribed your ISP to shut you down for a little while so I could pass you in the individual stats - but it looks like you got back online and are back ahead of me again.

I thought it was something like that. It looks like it was fixed within an hour of posting about it.
You and George both have me in your sights.

Six Mega primes have been found this past week! One was right before the start of the challenge.
That is really, really good.. And it's not over yet
Hope Team EVGA finds one. Keep digging, they are out there!  Good luck.
We are holding on tight to 5th place. We are walking away from "Duke"

Note: These status reports are (obviously) automatically generated. That last paragraph that shows the increase in "n" (or "b" or "k", as appropriate) isn't always as meaningful for PPS-MEGA as it is for other sub-projects. For PPS-MEGA, we have been running "n" up to 3599999 and then dropping it back down with a new set of "k"s to keep the size close to one million digits. Tracking the progress by looking at the size of "n" isn't very meaningful.

What is very meaningful, however, is the fact that we're doing about 10 times the normal number of PPS-MEGA and that we've found five -- FIVE!!! -- primes so far during the challenge. I would have been thrilled if we found one during the challenge. Five is incredible.

Just under 5 hours left in this challenge. We have a good hold on 5th place.


Another mega prime found!
That's the 7th PPS-MEGA prime this week, which sets a new record for the number of mega primes found in any single month.
 
It is:
The sixth PPS-MEGA prime of the challenge
The seventh mega prime and PPS-MEGA prime this week (almost certainly a record)
The seventh mega prime and PPS-MEGA prime of the month (new record)
The 15th PPS-MEGA prime of the year (most mega primes of a single type in any year)
The 25th mega prime of 2016 (the record is 29 primes in 2014, and this year isn't even half over)

I changed this threads name. See if that helps.
We never had this problem before.
