I would like to fold with my XFX DD 7950 but that thing is as loud as a leaf blower at full load

Good to see you working. The more I work the less I worry about the small stuff in my life. I may be strange because I always need something to do might as get payed for it. PM if you need more help.

As long as DCS wants me, I'll be working my booty off. I'm actually saving up for another GTX660 to put in my rig. While yeah sure a 970 would be better I'd rather just go with a weaker SLI until I can get something that isn't minimum wage.

We're going to have a skirmish of working 8 straight days at once. 9 hours a day so I'll be trucking along at 72 hours straight before getting a day off. And yes I do get good overtime.

In time you will learn that you're more than just you're rig. Save money and make a life. This is not the time too build. :shadedshu:

It's the time for caffeine and horrid sleep times.

I just got a couple of "high priority" workunits. They stopped my other ones? Is that because I opted into beta testing?

mjkmike · Feb 27, 2015

Are the new beta?

normally it's because deadline is approaching

TRWOV · Feb 27, 2015

ok, I'm out of the loop right now. What's the deal with the Badger team? Is that related to the missing WCG badges Knoxx was talking about? :confused:

We should have our own :lovetpu:

just for Crunchers

LOL, Kinda like the Discover commercial where they offer "Fraud Protection" and the guy is looking for "Frog Protection". BTW, 2nd pic I've posted today with a frog in it. WTH is going on?

Thanks to @W1zzard and @Norton the issue has been found and the problem will be solve as soon as I do what they suggested me :lovetpu:

GJ man, what cpu is it using?

6600 dual core @2.4Ghz

I cannot get anymore jobs, now. But earlier today, while I was at work, it picked up a bunch. No doubts my three crunchers, currently, will not run out of work. Even if it takes them more than 16 hours to update.

The problem was not with my buffer, that computer had JUST started crunching. They only drop a few WU's on a new box.

I'm thinking somehow someway without many knowing the Badger became the Tpu crunching teams unofficial mascot.

you are the official Mascot buddy. And a lifer. That means you can't stop crunching until I do. LOL Considering you have been doing this almost as long as Norton And I have.

Actually today I was going through the pie thread and remembering when I started with a couple x2's. Norton and I started pretty much at the exact same time. There where some good memories there with us climbing the list together. First in the 30's, then happy as hell when we hit the mid twenties. Then we hit top 20 and had a few days of hitting exactly 20. And for those that where around then you know what 20th place means. If you hit 20th place it was considered better then the pie. Then we hit the teens together. Next thing you know we where bouncing in and out of pie. Then the beta gpu wu's hit. the top ten was shaken d up a bit. Then they weened out and when the dust settled from those Norton and I where on a steady diet of pie. Then the real Gpu wu's hit and the top ten was forever changed. Also this was the time we got Tski involved because he had the baddest ass Amd gpu rig at the time and proved it with the dominate diet of cherry pie. Wasn't much anyone could do with someone running 3 or 4 Hd7970's at the time. Also I think we got Manofthem involved at that time too. Then the gpu wu's dried up right in the middle of a challenge we had in the bag. We where kicking some serious ass as a team. Damn wu's disappeared and we lost that challenge by a nose. Then it was back to cpu wu's and who kept most of there cpu crunching setups instaed of selling off to buy gpus, led the pie chart. And here Norton and I are today, still just a spot or 2 from one another in the chart. Heres to you @Norton buddy. :toast:

Also I remember like it was yesterday when Arjai started. Arjai is one of those people you just automatically like. :toast:

Arjai · Feb 28, 2015

I was gone a bit, after I lost my job and then was booted out on the street. That's when all the GPU excitement was afoot.

I remember the first time i came across TPU. I was google searching information on my MSI Socket A board. One of the results was the Socket A Club, here on TPU. I peeked around and learned a bunch about my computer, just reading posts.

So, soon thereafter, I signed up and officially met @Norton and @ThE_MaD_ShOt and a bunch of great friendly smart people.

Wasn't long before those two had me hooked on Crunching! They even banded together to help build my Farm!!

You are right, BTW, as long as I am able, I will Crunch for this team. Seeing as I have just emerged from a very deep hole, I intend to honor that phrase, as all of you have done wonders for me. Not the least of is an intelligent interaction, despite my smart-ass-ed-ness.

And I love that I can display it with that emoticon. Oh, have I said Thanks yet? Thanks.

Yup that's when I jumped in alright, gpu we time! I joined very shortly after @t_ski for I remember like it was yesterday reading through the challenge thread and seeing all the excitement over peeps with 7970s. I had 2, T had 3, and we dived in.

I even said during that challenge that afterwards I was going to go part time, back off, but that didn't really happen :laugh:

I remember running out of gpu wus doing that last challenge, and I was so upset I should have had a slightly larger buffer :cry:

Oh the good old days.

Blame @CAPSLOCKSTUCK he started a new trend with the wcg team and @Knoxx29 for being resilient about his badge and not taking no for an answer

You still can! @Arjai the budgerman. Regular man by day and a superhero crunching budger by night
