Hearing about how much PPD these new CPU's output makes me feel like i have an ancient CPU
recently looked at my stats and if i calculated correctly i'm averaging about 1k Points Per Week with about 60% usage

Lol, that's like the output of a quad core android

Motherboard and CPU should be out by tomorrow morning. The south got hit hard and most will be melted today. SOOOOOOO glad I bought a 4x4 truck!

BUCK NASTY · Feb 14, 2014

Both servers are up and running as of 2am last night. They should be fully spooled up by tomorrow morning. Now if I could only keep the i7 from crashing every couple of hours.... :banghead:

Go TPU!

yup the wattage meter at the wall shows 177w crunching @ 4.6ghz

Not bad at all.

My 4770k @4.4 pulls about 208w

brandonwh64 · Feb 14, 2014

Motherboard and CPU shipped to norton! It will make a NICE cruncher!

What we had!

lol sorry but I have to laugh when I hear the southern states get snow and that part of the country stops dead in there tracks.

I guess that's why America don't start a war with Canada cuz your solders would freeze to death lol.

Pfft... I think it has to do with that fact that all that's up there is more of this so what's the point....

i'm just poking at you Brad :respect:

yotano211 · Feb 15, 2014

It won't matter as far as the challenge is concerned if you upload tomorrow, but I'd prefer to do it sooner than later.

Thefumigator · Feb 15, 2014

Already crunching, not sure if I want to win a prize, sincerely, I want to help TPU!
I begun a bit earlier because I didn't know how this would work. I had folding at home for a while in the past but WCG is new to me...

My rigs:

AMD Athlon X2 4200 (2 cores - 65Watts)
Intel Core i3-330M (4 threads - 35Watts)
AMD C60 (8 Watts Dual core 1.3Ghz with IGP Radeon 6290 not recognized, too slow, too busy doing other work, giving up soon)
AMD Phenom X4 9550 (4 cores 2.2Ghz - 95Watts)
AMD FX 8320 (8 cores 3.5Ghz - 125Watts + Radeon HD5450 recognized correctly)
AMD A6-3400M (4 cores @1.4Ghz + IGP Radeon 6520, recognized as unknown radeon, not sure if its working)
Intel Pentium M 1.6Ghz (too slow, giving up soon)
Intel Pentium 4 (presscott 3.0Ghz) (too slow, power hungry, giving up soon)
