Due to my amazing ability to forget everything, I forgot about custom coolers. Thanks to stinger608 for reminding me.

So, this is my Official Entry™
I'll be entering for the general TPU card which would be an upgrade from my current R9 280x. I'd like the upgrade for the FPS improvements that would come with it, but also to allow me to fold. My current 280x plays games just fine, but something is wrong in the compute area, and it blackscreens after folding for ~3 hours, even after reducing clocks and power limit.
My old card would probably be either kept around as a spare (I always keep at least one) or sold to cover the cost of a custom cooler. If I could manage it though I might be able to turn it into a giveaway.

What a great giveaway.

OFFICIAL ENTRY

Entering for the TPU card.

I will be upgrading from a GTX670

I can't say that I NEED the extra power but I do love eye candy and overclocking and my 670 just can't provide the eye candy and maintain 60FPS anymore. So I WANT the extra power.



My old card will go to my little brother who now has my previous GPU, a 560ti, I know he would be ecstatic to get my 670. :) The 560ti would go to someone who would really appreciate it.



FU*K CANCER.

I really should start folding. I think when the temperature start to drop again and winter begins I will do just that.
 
Not entering But some Potluck for my little buddy @Arjai
Remember when I mention to not judge a book by it's cover and that an old beatup farm truck could out run a Ferrari, well here ya go.


How about a 700 hp Porsche

 
Never thought I would see a Street Outlaws reference here on TPU :laugh: This was one of my guilty pleasure TV shows for a little bit- Farmtruck and Azn (and Suzy- RIP Louise) are the most entertaining thing on the show, personally.

I actually do like the show and have respect for the guys. To muscle 1000 to 2000+ HP cars down a city street, I tell you it takes balls.

Official Entry for TPU Card

Intel on board i5-4690
Im building a brand new system for my birthday in 2 weeks in August ,I had a GTX 970 and got another one for SLI BUT....
BUT im donating my old system to a kid that lives with single mom, last time I gave him Xbox 360 when I got my X1 he was really happy, apparently it was his first console.
So his system is going to be i5-4690 with on board graphics unless I win one right here :)
 
Not entering as i'm not eligible, but wanted to say this is a great idea.

I'm sorry to hear about you're friend passing away. I know what it is like first hand as my father passed away from bladder cancer this time last year at the age of 66.

I will be taking up folding in the TPU team, as I would like to contribute to helping towards getting rid of cancer. I'll contribute to it as much as I can with set up :) I'm currently learning german through my pc, so whilst im learning I can make use of the unused power.
 
Fantastic gesture @the54thvoid , I'm sure the lucky recipients will get a lot of pleasure out of their new hardware (I'm not putting myself in the running - I have more than enough graphics OCD with the hardware I already have).
Good luck. Great cause.

Good god, the MSI 6850 Cyclone Power Edition is possibly my most favourite GPU ever. First card I ever OC'd to 1Ghz. Great card, never thought I'd see someone with the same GPU.

buy it for 100$ a few years ago from US...is still great but unfortunately game producers policy is to raise the minimum system requirement with every new title...sometimes i wish to have a standardized limit in this area not a ripping of industry
 
LAST CALL!!! ;)

Details in my sig......
 
i wish my luck will change for this card!
really wanted it
 
Official entry "Edit"
I´m entering for the General TPU card
i have a gtx 750 ti, and a 780ti is around USD 3500 here in Venezuela so i would greatly appreciate one, i fold with my 750 ti and game, and a great speed bump would be great.
IF i win i plan to use the 750 ti for physX / extra folding. it would be nice to ramp up my ppds ^^
Potluck. i have the power supply to run it and electricity is the only thing cheap here so its no problem to fold for long periods of time or events

@Onderon you can not opt for both, just one of them.

Read the rules.
...

Requirement(s) for either card:

- Active TPU forum membership in good standing prior to 7/15/2015
- Have at least 25 posts
- Be able to use the card as an upgrade for your own system*
* entering in order to sell the card for a profit if won is not the intent of this givewaway
- TPU forum members who have already won a card from @the54thvoid are not elligible
- Be able to receive a package from the UK (giveaway is world-wide)
- Be able to support the card with your rig (folder card will also ship with an OEM air cooler)

Additional requirements for the 2nd card:
- Active TPU folding Team member or Active WCG crunching Team member willing to fold.
- Have a TPU Folder and/or a TPU WCG Cruncher badge
- Willing to fold for TPU with the card for a minimum of 6 months over a 1 yr period

How to Enter....
- Post in this thread and mark your post "official entry"
- Indicate which card you are entering for (TPU card or TPU folder card)
- Let us know what you would be upgrading from with this card.
- Tell us why you need the extra graphics horsepower

Optional:
- Let us know what you will do with your old card.
- Potluck- post anything you like (within TPU forum guidelines ofc)

...
So you can not opt for the folder card becuase you don't have folder/cruncher badge. In fact you haven't folded nor crunched since more than a month, sorry. However you can opt fot the TPU general card.
 
Sorry, didnt read the badge rule, yeah I started folding like a month or 2 ago, been folding on my 750ti only my q6600 is so slow for folding T.T.
ok so im in for the general one.
PD: sorry if it seemed like i wanted both, i only asked if i could join both so i could have more chance. and I thought I had the requisite to join that one too.
