Congrats to All of our crunchers!!! :toast:
I believe a moment of silence is in order.
 
So far it seems that @BUCK NASTY has topped @Vinska today (although Free-DC will still update at least once today so let's see).

@BUCK NASTY, Such a show off! Breaking 100k! Psh! Maybe its time we start a progressive distribution of points among team members evening out the ppd distribution... :p

I on the other hand, inch my way up claiming the 11th spot today, up from 13. Hoping to get # 10 during the challenge.
 
Wihoo, up to #12! :D :toast:

Great work everyone! :roll:
 
Great job All! :toast:

@BUCK NASTY - you took Cherry Pie again so I owe you 5 million more points folding! ;)

@t_ski - hope you're sandbagging a bit and everything is ok?

I have found that I must force updates to get these servers to upload full production. Opty 6180 SE server returned 65K today:D. Matter of fact, I had the 2 highest production machines in WCG today. Whatever it takes for Team TPU!!!

Really, seems odd – I don't even see him in the top 30. So odd, it makes my spidey sense tingle. :(

That's one helluva load, @BUCK NASTY! Makes me feel all happy an fuzzy inside to see someone more than one team badge worth of points in one day :)


P.S. I had to reduce active active core count to a total of 6 on my server as it was getting way too hot and because of it, WAY too loud. I should just drop down the CPU voltage – that should keep it cool 'n quiet. Too bad I seem to have disabled iLO when configuring the server, so I have no easy way to do it :(
I shall bring small monitor to it and reconfigure on Monday.
Also, I am sorry – I had one of the FX-8320 off for nearly five hours today due to this:

Holding down the #11 spot two days in a row. At this point my only chance to get that #10 is if someone above me falls a bit, which could happen, or if my 12 wu's on an 8 threaded processor actually does something good.
 
Good thing we have @BUCK NASTY, @PolRoger, and @15th Warlock joining for the Challenge because they certainly are really helping out and rocking the top spot :respect: :respect:

Thanks to all our hard workers, great seeing top 20 being 11k and up :D

I think you'll get your wish. I've been over achieving.

Well, I'm here for the moment. I woke up Thursday morning to find water in my basement. Not enough to ruin any possessions, but the floors were soaked and about 600 sq. ft. of bamboo flooring was floating on water. I guess after a week of raining almost non-stop my sump pump decided it was not going to work any more. I had to replace the pump and help the cleanup crew move stuff around. I had two of my crunchers on the floor sitting on soaked carpet. Everything's been shut down since, as the whole basement is still drying out. I won't have my office back together until at least Tuesday.

At this point, I'm thinking I have way too much crap... :(

Oh wow! That really sucks T :(

I rented a house with a floodable basement a bunch of years ago so I kinda know what you're going through.... hope everything gets dried out soon

I have one of those blocks, the the lga1155 version. Works really great still. I got the same temps on my 2500k comparing that to my apogee drive II, which is a better block. I guess I just couldn't put enough heat out.

#10 and it feels so good! It wasn't even bluebummblebee that fell a bit either.

Edit: I even referenced that review before I got this block dirt cheap on ebay. Did not know that was done by our very own tski. Always wondered what the former staff meant exactly.

@james888 nice work getting pie! :respect:

Nice review @t_ski :toast: and I hope you're doing ok with your basement!


Great work team :lovetpu:
 
Thanks guys. We had a few wet spots left yesterday, so they tore out more carpet pad and rearranged the fans. We might have the carpeted areas back today or tomorrow, which is about half the basement.
 
WTF? No PIE yet? @Norton ? You getting some? :laugh:
