Hey Team,

Weather is cooling off and it's time to start planning some challenges!

TPU Fall 2017 WarmUP! (10/27- 10/31/2017)

AND.....

The WCG 13th Birthday Challenge hosted by SETI.Germany (11/16-11/22/2017)
https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/team/challenge/viewTeamChallenge.do?challengeId=8617

This thread is to plan the challenges, work out the details, help everyone get their rigs ready to go, setup any prize giveaways for our TPU-WCG Team members who crunch with us during the challenge.

OK Team let's here from you!!! :toast:

If anyone has a prize to donate for the challenge(s) please post in this thread or PM me

I'm in on the fx 8350

Norton · Oct 23, 2017

Note that we'll likely setup a game giveaway for the TPU Fall 2017 WarmUP! and arrange for some hardware type prizes for the WCG 13th Birthday Challenge

Count on at least 2x $25 PayPal gifts from me and a few Steam games for the game giveaway

If anyone wants to donate a prize for the giveaway please post here or PM me!

The 3820 is in the spare P9X79 Deluxe, has a fresh install of Ubuntu 17.10 (server,) and is crunching at this very moment. I needed a long-term task for temperature testing with this fancy (and cheap,) Corsair H60 and admittedly it's my first AIO cooler. Maybe I'll let it crunch for a while like old times. The H60 and high static pressure fans are so quiet, you barely would even know it's there and cools just as good with air but, with less airflow and quieter fans. :cool:

Recca29 · Oct 24, 2017

Was just thinking about the challenges.
Time to order the CPU cooler.

Awesome news on upcoming challenges!

My Xeon is ready.

brandonwh64 · Oct 24, 2017

I have a 6 core 12 thread machine up right now but I have something special soon (wink wink 54 thread machine). I hope to have it up and running within the week

twilyth · Oct 24, 2017

I'll match those paypal gifts

manofthem · Oct 24, 2017

I'm in and excited, just sucks being down to 2 pcs :rolleyes:

Looking forward to the Challenge! :peace:

Zachary85 · Oct 26, 2017

Well, talk about having a feeling. On Tuesday I ordered the parts to repair a couple of machines that went down over the summer. I had not yet seen this thread when I decided to order the parts. I don't know if I am Psychic, or Psycho ...... maybe it's a combination of both :laugh:

I should have the machines up and running over the weekend. I plan to be in both challenges.

Bow · Oct 26, 2017

Put my new rig to the test. Have to add a couple Pc's at work.

AlienIsGOD · Oct 26, 2017

I'm just glad I can crunch again

my 3570k rig is very temperamental lol so I just game on it

Zachary85 · Oct 26, 2017

Just an update, I had a surprise when I got home tonight. The part for my back-up server arrived today ...... YES! It is back in action and currently downloading work. :rockout:

I didn't expect to get that part so fast. The part for the other cruncher should be here tomorrow or Monday.
