I want to thank all those who joined the team in the past few weeks. Because of your contributions, our daily point production has increased by more than four million.
I just joined up in the last week, after reading moviemans email. 145,251 and counting !! Just put the i7 920 up to 4.3 for 24/7 last night.

Guy, this is seriously impressive. Double what we were doing just a handful days ago... :clap:Quote:

Now I know not everyone can go out and buy a new 980X and get it running, and not all of us have i7s or even Dual or quad cores, but I do know we all have a computer. (you are viewing this afterall) And that computer does have a CPU. I fully expect that CPU to be crunching it's heart out. That along with every other CPU you can get permission to use. If we all do our absolute best to pull together and fight toward our goal, I have no doubt we can do it, really - None. But if even just a couple of us don't get every last core, all of those missed cores will add up, and we might fall short. 100M is a lofty goal, but we can do this guys, you know in your hearts we can.
So what are we waiting for?!?
Ive got a intel centrino duo laptop but crunching on it sends the temps to 80c+ is that normal or ok?
Always used desktops the laptop was free I dont care to burn it out since it my newspaper.
Any thoughts on that real quick not trying to change the subject but the kitchen stove was mentioned.:rofl:
Blow it out and store it upside down. Did it to my C2D and knocked off 40C no shizitQuote:

Yeah... Should easily be able to knock a few degrees off... can't imagine any way that it should be that hot. 70C is my max for anything but i7s...Quote:

Awesome add 2 more cores to crunching.
Thx yall

I know everyone is getting things ironed out so lets shoot for 12 million again tomorrow :clap:
aw man 56 points short :lol2:
I didnt wake up in time to switch my net connection over to my quad so last nights results from that machine werent uploaded yet :(
Aww that stinks, remember if you return WU's within 24 hours you get a time bonus.Quote:

I will be adding my wife's o/c'd 9550 for that week but I should be running the 2 920's well beyond the competition.
I'm not sure what others' situations are but I'm not a 24/7 cruncher simply because I don't pay the power bill around here. But come Thursday/Friday I'll be plugging in my frankenmachines and letting them plow for the week. So I don't know, maybe some folks are waiting to before they go full throttle. I'm really excited to see what we can do :up:Quote:

If each active team member can get at least one friend or neighbor to crunch for just a week, that will help a lot. If you can get more than one friend, even better. And if you can get them to keep crunching past May 8th, that would be terrific. :)
sent a pair of X5482's north to Canada with Artem today for a SM X7 board he has.. Should pull more than the one 5405 he has in it!:rofl:
I been running full throttle since I switch back to WCG... :up:
But we knew that..:p:Quote:

I agree, SB. Although I don't own big-number producer rigs personally, I try to get my friends to crunch with their laptops. One by one, my points build up eventually. I will try to get more.:up:Quote:

turns out I've got my own little team backing me up. just gotta love goodhearted friends.
just saw this and it's just what I've been doing and yes they are in it for the long haul:up:Quote:

As I like to say, "keep crunching for cures, because god knows prayer doesn't work."
Thanks for the help but take some advice?Quote:

Now my congrats to you on your upcoming degree.
I do have an idea of how much work was involved in that and A's at Harvard don't come easy..:clap:

I hope no one takes offense at my comment, as I don't intend to cast aspersions on religious belief in an inappropriate venue...Quote:

Just have posted a little post on my facebook, will see if tommorow any of my friends join first wcg and if they do i will tell them to join our team. I also had some news about my first ever tax refund so my planned 4p g34 socket could be done for the summer.
Is there an XS facebook group?Quote:

I'm seeing 13 in the forecast for tomorrow! Congrats team on the highest numbers we have seen yet :clap::up::clap::up::clap::up:
Hell Yeah! :party::bounces::party:
Nice work!
I did get a Silver today:

I just fired more gear up for the challenge!
This is getting better :up:
I think my T60 laptop supports a C2D Merom CPU (it has a Core Duo Yonah in it right now). I just picked up a T7200 2.0 GHz Merom from a scrapped laptop today... gonna see if it works in there or not :D Not sure how much of a difference there would be, but hey every little bit helps right? :shrug:
Nice job, team. :toast:
:woot: Getting there!:up:Quote:

^^^I'll ditto that!
Guys: Think 7000 Q6600's(running 24/7 dedicated at 3600MHZ) needed for this to happen( 100 million) and today we had the equal of maybe 850 of them.
13 or 14? ;) You're not trying lull BBT into a false sense of security are you? :rolleyes:Quote:

To be honest, I would be quite happy with 14 million if we can get more XS members to participate. This goes well beyond the challenge to your team. Now is the time to stand up and be counted.Quote:

It's also to show how, when ordinary people band together, they can achieve great things.
the 13 or 14 was for tomorrow my friend!:rofl:Quote:

I'm not sure when it starts on my local time in Norway, (UTC+01:00).
The "official" challenge will start at 00:00hrs GMT on the 1st, since that's the time zone WCG runs on.
Good news, everyone. I've been tinkering with a Phenom II X6 1055T and it has been crunching WCG all night at 4.01 GHz. It did all yesterday at 3.85 GHz.
woo hoo go particle!
Xtremesystems 12,871,171 I'll take the blame on this one I got addicted to the supersonic sled demo :p:
We all know the weekend is starting and WCG will report low numbers so lets see 14 MILLION ON MONDAY!
I tried my best to counterbalance you pulsar, but my 60,000 yesterday (up from 40,000) wasnt enough :P
:up: Good day guys,up 200K from yesterday.Quote:

If our new teammates can keep on crunching after next week, we can take over EasyNews within a short time.
Looking at the team member stats, I see a lot of people haven't reported in the last 30 days. How can we reach out to these people to come back to the Grid?
Don't worry, that's the quiet moment before the storm, and it will pick up soon. At least I've been fixing some extra cooling/fans today, getting ready for one-week-marathon.Quote:

:shocked::shocked:GJ all, I love checking this thread every night!!!:shocked::shocked:
WOOHOO! Can I use my Texas Instruments calculator to crunch too?!? I put a bunch of magnetic numbers on my fridge and threw it to the floor repeatedly. Crunching is hard work! :rofl:Quote:
