Slowly climbing into the Top 25. Looks like I may hit a wall, @XZero450 . At least until I build some more boxes. Not sure when that will happen. Tech gear for a build is a little stupidly priced, right now. If it ever relaxes, I will consider upgrading my farm.

Looks like I may be shadowing @XZero450 for a while. I hope he doesn't mind. :laugh:

:lovetpu:
37million points total, I'm only at almost 6million.

It's been a while since the last Team Challenge, any chance we could make them more regular, say 3 monthly?

I just got 3 of my systems running this now.
I joined the TPU team today so I do not know a thing other than letting it run LOL

Thank you for joining the team!

I am going to the store tonight to get 2 more Wifi adaptors to get the rest of my systems doing this so there will be I hope 5 computers of mine joining the team!
I do hope I can make some difference.

All of the systems in my sig and an Apple G5 pro! See if that can do some thing other than dust collecting. Thing has 2 CPU's!

There are a ton of choices, from what projects to run, how hard (that doesn't work too well IMHO) and when you want your systems to run.

If there's a Challenge that shows up and people would like to join, just say! :) I must admit I don't check on them and see what turns up but someone notices one, just let me know :) We can join it :)

Thank you for joining our team :D Look forward to seeing you in the milestones and hopefully the top 20!! :D ;)

I'd recommend using the Ryzen rigs over the FX rig just because they might not produce as much as you'd think or like them to.. The efficiency/wattage side of things is a little low..

They are here they work they are on any way so they will be working. They should produce something though I could give a crap about power right now I want to see how high it goes with them all at full power!

Just thinking about the power bill and efficiency is all :) I don't ask that anyone runs any system/systems more than they feel they can. I'm certainly not asking people to break the bank with this.

I appreciate the enthusiasm to but no need to break the bank doing it is all I'm trying to say :)

MY bank? LOL Break my bank you can't break my bank!
My accountant said so. :laugh:
The only thing breaking my bank are video card prices I did not get rich being a spendthrift!
 
I'm coming back, fellas. I should have 2 or 3 systems running WCG in the next few days. May not be 24/7, but I'll make some of those decisions based on next months power bill.
 
Will be great to have you back in the team contributing @PaulieG !! :D :D
 
Thank you! It’s great to be back! I’ve got one going today, one tomorrow and one Tuesday or Wednesday.
 
@PaulieG when was the last time you where active on the WCG/FAH etc. ?? :)

Calling me out? :laugh: Well, funny you should mention it. I was wondering when my points will start showing. I've got a 5600x and i7 10700k going 24/7 for the last 48 hours. Within the next few days I'll be adding an i5 10600k and maybe my wife's office's first gen Ryzen.

Just interested in finding out about our members we have here to be honest :) The first gen Ryzen's aren't all that bad to be honest for the watts they use.... The non X models I find are pretty decent as well. 65w but a pretty good return :)

Well, it would be more fun if you were calling me out. :laugh:

J/K. I was moderator in this section "back in the day". It's a very important project. I'm going to run 24/7 for this billing cycle and see how these new chips impact the electric bill and decide on 24/7 or half days. Either way, I'll do as much as I can and look forward to challenges!
 
You should start seeing me getting some points again soon, albeit low volume for now. I got around to updating and re-setting up one of my dormant systems last night. I might throw another one into service tonight, but my old dell servers are probably going to stay asleep because of noise/heat/electricity. Also set up a schedule for my daily driver to work a little while I'm at work. Missed doing this!

Calling you out for what?!?!?! It's not an age thing...... :D :laugh:

The new CPUs aren't too bad, I run my 3900X for 247 at the moment, about 100w extra from idle to load, nothing bad at all. Think about 220w or something? The 1700X's are about 170w I think, the 2700 I have is about 120w (all full system load wattages) so hopefully that helps :)

Have all sorts of hardware I try and run this on but with running a few GPUs 24/7 as well, the electric soon amounts up... Over here it's about 28 cent's a KW... Thank god for solar but that's only good when the weather is nice and sunny but that said, some days that are dull ish, still produce well :)
It's very easy to use up 3kw an hour crunching :D
