Sweet!

Looked like SETI.Germany started switching over to WCG from other projects this am so I'm not sure we can hold it. [/crosses fingers]

Started on overclocking my FX-8 rigs a little while ago.... will try to get an extra 10-15% out of them

We can use everything you have! :toast:

I'm already at 100%--I may be able to pick up another dual or two tomorrow, but that would be about it (so maybe an extra 2k PPD tops) :ohwell:

My 3 remote rigs will report 3 days of work each on Monday so that will help a bit

Well.. I have ~650K (WCG) worth of 7770's currently flying to members on the other side of the pond that could help

Indeed--although I'm afraid they won't arrive in time to help here :ohwell:

But they'll still get crunching soon enough

Install time!

Meanwhile, I'm heading to n3rdf1ght3r's to setup his 6950 (with multiple WCs hopefully). Probably going to ask a friend to help crunch too! :roll:

[Ion] · Nov 17, 2012

Wow...99.3k points today!

So, so close to 100k....perhaps tomorrow?

SETI.Germany's link(mentioned by KieX) for the challenge updates scores every hour! (albeit unofficially)
Niice! TPU leads..

some comments on the S.G site (oldest first):

"To keep TechPowerUp! behind, will become a hard thing!!" (first few hours into the challenge)
"TPU woked (woke) up!!!" (an hour later...)
"TPU, wu-destroyer" (a litte later!..)

doing great ! keep it up, guys!

My 7770 donation to Catnipkiller has been delayed - NCIX don't accept International credit cards and only ship to the registered Paypal address. I asked Catnipkiller for his Paypal info. I might have to ship from Denmark.

Not sure if I stumbled on this by accident or I'm the last one to the party.. but the hosts of the (8th Birthday) challenge have a dedicated page to track the progress on an hourly basis:

And.. we're winning! But this is seriously close!

As said in the other threads, the lack of GPU WU's really killed us but we sure put up a heck of a fight. Thanks to all who helped and for the exceptional efforts all of you put up! :toast:

Shall we notify our past-time competitors about this challenge? It is more fun if a whole bunch of teams don't notice the challenge last-minute or days later.
