[damric]

We had great success last year and we sure appreciated you all for coming over to help. We're going to do it again.

We have some sponsored prizes from Corsair (tbd what exactly), as well as some in-house goodies. Similar to last year, the top 3 folders will get first choice prize picks and the rest of the prizes will be random draw.

Remember, register at EHW and post in the contest thread. Also during the challenge you need to be running 239902 as your team ID (afterwards change back to TPU).

Hope to see you all again for some crunching fun.

About a week to go, so it's time to get your hardware ready. Remember folding is quite stressful so even if you already tested your overclocks with Prime95, 3Dmark, ect, it might not be "folding stable". Don't be caught scratching your head working out problems on day one

The Corsair prizes are confirmed. They were very generous this year so check those out. EK is giving out some sort of new direct die water block (at least 1). Also some nice new tshirts and desk mats from EXTREMEHW are up for grabs.

If anyone is new to folding and needs help setting up the software, hit me up here with your questions.

Also if you want to split your hardware between TPU and EHW (239902) during the contest, I can show you how to set team flags in the advanced settings.

Remember, register and post in the contest thread at EXTREMEHW so you are prize eligible.
