Today's Numbers: Get 'Em While They're Hot!

[D_A]

Send out another email to all of the opted in XS members!

Include testimonials:

"People always laughed at my benchmark scores. They kept saying that a badly photo-shopped image didn't mean crap in the real world. Well now I found a way to PROVE how big my e-peen is! Crunching WCG has made my ubber 1337 system useful for something! Thank you, WCG! You've made my e-life complete!"

awesome chart it reminds me of the tech runup back in 2000. Good work all.

Been thinking about this a lot and at the end of the week we're going to send a email Thanking all who came to help and saying if they care to stay on they are more than welcome but not going to extend this another week "formally".
People came with a one week comittment in mind and thats what the deal was.
To try and push them into more just "ain't right"
Those that want to stay will and those that decided to do this for just a week will have done their part and leave with our thanks.
All in all it was a great effort by those that came.
Good folks, glad to have met you all.
Doesn't matter if you brought one machine or 21, you brought what you had and brother did you guys make a difference.

The week ain't over yet is it? Don't be bummed XS is rockin and I think this push inspired a lot of people who didn't know anything about WCG or how easy it is to get running.(like me )

Another great day for team. Nice work, everyone.

I'll stick around. Maybe not super active on the forum, but I'll pop in once in awhile. I might keep my quad core crunching continuously 24/7. But I'll shut down the other 3 or 4 laptops when they are not in use.

Why shut down the laptops?

They fit great right between the hot dogs and Popsicles.

What about the condesation in my freezer?

dave, this is a super-cool idea you came up with and you've done a super-cool job at implementing it! i signed on for the week, but now i plan to stick with it!

here's to curing cancer!

Thank you..Short soapbox ..
To me this is a way that we, the common folk,can make a difference.
We can't endow a research center like a Gates or Buffet can BUT combined we can get the work done.
I have kids ,some of you do,and most of you will.
This is a way to make sure that 20 years down the road this crap is history as far as they are concerned.
Thanks for your help and glad to have you aboard!

Well you could undervolt the laptops.
Utilities like RMclock and K10 (For the newer AMD processors) exist.

I was able to drop my GF's laptop from (Runs at 2.2GHZ) 1.2v to 1.025v it knocked off what 10C or even more.

[masterg]

:O team2ch dropped like 2mil and we went up! only 2 mil more!

[snoro]

No more charts, fire up another machine!
Call Gautam,Jody,Mike,Charles,crack the whip!

What about sham, kingpin and hicookie or any other overclocker that work at a company likie corsair or gigabyte. I am sure they could sneak into the test lab and let run a dozen of 980x rig each or sham putting up a sr-2 rig and make it crunch a 5.5ghz with ln2

I could BUT I wouldn't put them on the spot like that.
It's their living and to jeapordise that is something I wouldn't do.
You should have heard Peter the other day when I mentioned I had 7machines running here..
"You have 7 machines folding,in your house?"

[snoro]

"You have 7 machines folding,in your house?"

*Peter minds* WTH!!! Is he really taking care of 7 rig at the same time. That mean atleast 7 cpu pot to take care of off and he can do that alone ?????

And than shamino go set up 7 sr-2 rig folding and try to take care of 14 cpu pot

So just tell them they dont need to use ln2 on them, water or air is fine and boinc is mostly set and forget and they might be instered. If not what about trying to get a 4sokcet m-c motherboard and get it to shamino and see if he can mod it to do some 4ghz 48 core crunching madness

I had a net outage overnight whilst I was at work so I should have a better day today if the pendings validate

[hedge]

Does anyone know what we are totaling up to in GFLOPs (or more likely TFLOPs) as a team for this week? We have got to be smoking past a few super computers.

[AresOlSkool]

Pumped up the Q6600 to 3.6GHz on air, with a 1600 rated FSB. Gonna let this run for a while and see how temps do.

[Otis11]

What about the condesation in my freezer?

The computer will be warmer than the surrounding air. No condensation to worry about.

As long as you don't take it out anyway...

Movieman, there's maybe a way in between: while you may 'call it a week', you may also suggest, for those want, some other continuation-challenge, like overtaking Easynews, for example. I for one, barely dare to stop my system this week, but would surely be willing to continue for a more extended time, albeit with a bit less, err... frenzy.

That said: a BIG thank you to you for coming up with this idea. It helped mankind move forward. It helped many guys to tune there rig better than what they would have done otherwise. It allowed me to participate in this Just Cause, and give quite some points already. It even made me (finally) decide to go for phase change cooling - it would have allowed me to score 20% better, besides staying cool. Sure, others have their own story.

And it helped, if need be, to strengthen this community.

For this, before even our final score is reached: cheers, man !

[Plan.B]

I'm getting excited about the easynews overtake. I think it's within our reach and a worthwhile goal; it will benefit the research community and our team.

[=[PULSAR]=]

Alright here we go again whose going to be trigger mike tonight?

[sRHunt3r]

I'm just here for the show

[sRHunt3r]

The big light show when that new number is posted!!!!!!!!!!!!!
