Yep!  11 hours from now!

Alrighty, thanks for confirming.
2070 will turn back on about 2 hours prior, lol.

So, as things currently stand, 132 entries are in the signup.
 
Of those, there are two duplicate entries, so we're down to 130.

Of THOSE, 124 are currently with active points in the stats for TeamEVGA, and are already set up in my collection system.
 
The remaining 6 are:
 
miyoshi82
DarthCanada
merintil
Weslryg1 - Forum name is wgunder1
TechnoSide2
Shizzle_Popped - Forum name is jvandyne


I know at least one (DarthCanada) responded to electryon's PM earlier and indicated they didn't intend to fold, but I'm giving the 6 of them until 4pm EST (5 central) tomorrow to post numbers before I completely discount adding them to the stats system.
 
Any late entries will be vetted by troy8d and myself and we will announce ABSOLUTE DROP DEAD CUT OFF at some point tomorrow. So, these are your last few hours to either post points to be included or to TRY to get a last second entry into the contest.  After that CUT OFF is announced, there WILL BE NO MORE ENTRIES.  I mean it.  My wife means it! When she says it's time to step away from the keyboard and hang with the family, it's TIME!! *laughs*

Otherwise, get those last minute PC tune ups done!  I've been seeing a LOT of talk that reminds me of watching a field full of alcohol burning funny cars in my youth getting prepped for their drags. I can almost smell the fumes . . .

I just sent a PM reminder to all except DarthCanada, since you indicated they won't fold. I hope this gives them a kick start. All PM's went through. 

We encourage scrounging up extra horsepower for the contest. Deliberately underreporting expected ppd is discouraged and against the rules.

I signed up not intending to fold @home .. sorry didn’t know that was a requirement.
 
well I went ahead and set it up anyway .. let's go team 111065 
 
right now showing : 6284  PPD ..  My i7 7700k and my gtx 960 is all I got.  

So how are the teams set this year?
Eastern/Pacific v CMO again?
Curious with all the folders this go around.

Crack a window and move your rig closer to it

Consider your ambient temps in your home and adjust accordingly. Are those temps way higher than gaming?

Folding @home using a a EVGA GTX980 ( card is on its last leg so I hope it will maintain it has crashed several times and I need a new card but until EVGA can have any decent stock its all i got).

Hey Techno, if you haven't done so, you need to set up a passkey. It requires you fold 10 WU before you can get the higher credit called Quick return bonus. It will increase your PPD {points per day} Post 187 has a bit of info. Info, and how to get a passkey in link.

^^ passkey info. 
 
@wgunder1, I think you may need to do the same thing. : passkey.

The CPU is definitely running higher temps than gaming, GPU not so bad. It's the GPU that generates the bulk of the folding, so toning down the CPU clock a little won't make a huge difference. Can't make it too cold here - my Mrs won't be happy with that - she usually has the heating pegged around 78 in winter (which I just checked - that's what it's set for right now). I can make the office a little cooler but not much. No worries. Back in about 100 minutes!
 

None of the listed above were showing points by the 10pm EST stats pull for Team EVGA and I have to seal the system up and kick things into contest mode now. I apologize for the two of you who put the effort in to try to get in, but we're just too close to contest start now. 
 
All entries are now CLOSED.  Crank up your folders and let's ROCK AND ROLL!

1 hour til the contest starts!
 
Lets do some folding!!

I think that as one of our top contests, it worked out nice. The Pascal series [cards].  I hope we can do that again soon. 

As usual, the actual times the flat files from Folding @ Home publish drift a bit, but currently they are at half past the hour.  Publishing to the contest site should be no longer than 10 minutes away from whenever the flat file publishes, worst case scenario, so you may see a little drifting on the 'hourly' updates, but the points WILL be up as soon as they can be!

I hope you can join us if and when we have the next one, TechnoSide. Drougnor did mention the cut off, earlier. I should have said something.
