Great moments are born in great opportunity And that’s what you have here this year boys That’s what you earned here this year One Time Zone Challenge If we folded against ‘em 10 times, they might win 9 Not this contest, not this year This year we fold with them, this year we stay with them And we out-produce them because WE CAN! This year we are the greatest folding team in the world! You were born to be folders – every one of you You were meant to be here This is your time. Their time is done – it’s over! I’m sick and tired of hearing about what a great folding team Central, Pacific and Other have - screw ‘em! This is your time, now go out there and take it!

Fold 7x24 until our goal is meet! This mean No Gaming, No Watching Videos, and most of all not allowing anyone to turn off the computers. Being MST I will start at 2200 for the 2 Hours Tasks that I seem to be getting a lot lately.

Also please make sure that if you are running overclocks that you are not dropping units. This will hinder your ppd more than if you never OCed in the first place. Edit: oh and it may be slight but points start collecting at the midnight update. So start folding before 11pm so you can get some units completed for the midnight update.

Only points completed after midnight will count, so shoot for landing them 12:01 AM, or maybe 12:05 if you want a little leeway.

I was half joking, half explaining how/when the points collection will start. In reality its not worth the effort to mess around with the timing of your work units.

I've already started as I work way early tommorow. My overclock is solid at 2ghz for my 1080FTW. I ran that puppy for a week in July and it rocked. As long as my gpus temp stays under 68 degrees.
Rock on East Coast, I'm barely there as Indiana is quite close to Central.

Sounds like Steve has got it under control.  Unless someone else can do it today rather than next week... 17 people at the moment that have yet to drop points in for EM

I'm sorry to report my system has reached temp equilibrium, thud my 1080 is only clocking 1987Mhz down from 2025Mhz. Sadly when the GPU temp reaches 78 degrees the clocks drop. That pesky 970 just won't let it breathe as it stays toasty below 70 when it's running solo. 14 units turned in so far on the 1080FTW with 0 failed. The 970 turned in 6. I did have to start the running at 7:30pm 10/31 EST, so some of them might not have accrued to the challenge.
Should be a good challenge.

sounds to me like you need to swap positions. put the 1080 on bottom for maximum airflow and let the 970 thermal down a bit instead.

I might make that switch when my thermal pads get here. Might also buy some primo thermal compound at the same time.

Both my 1080 are running between 1999 & 2088 with temp 76C to 78C When they are pushing 2025 I have seen temps hit 80C - 82C I have XOC running at 124% and set priority to Temps and set the Temps to 86C. So for no issues with some GPU Overclocking and No Over Voltage and No vRam Overclocking PS I added two more guns My HFM for overnight runs only.
