[Scott]

2708


The prize this month is a 1GB GIGABYTE NVIDIA GeForce GTX560 Overclock . Information on the card can be found here (http://www.gigabyte.com/press-center/news-page.aspx?nid=1020)

Here are the rules for this month contest. Please read them carefully because I have some bonus entries for you if can make them.

1. Must be an active Folding@Home member on team 41608 the Bjorn3D team during the month of June.

2. Must post at least 5 post in the Bjorn3D forums under your Folding@Home name. If Folding for my daughter Stephanie the first part of your name should be your Folding name if you can. This is so I can find you to tell you if you won.

3. Must have a USA Shipping Address.

Now here is the fun part. All people that meet the rules get 1 entry in the bowl for the drawing. For every extra 5 post in the forums during the month you get another entry. And to really get you to work hard Folding, if you are in the top 20 24 hour Folding Point Chart you get an extra 5 entries. You can find the chart info here (http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_summary.php?s=&t=41608).

So I am offering many ways to get extra entries.

Good luck to all.

Scott

the wife doesn't like the high electric bill

[Joshua_Mahr]

It was worth a shot. Still it's on.

[James86]

that's right hopefully we don't scare away everyone else or if some of the kingston contest people enter that would be great

[Joshua_Mahr]

Yea. I posted in the contest forum to let them know to fold!

[slugbug]

Count me in as per usual.

[Joshua_Mahr]

Slug bug whats your max ppd all clients running? If you dont mind me asking.

[Blacksmith1]

I'm in for this one. I do not, however, feel the need to compete with the spam brothers for post count.

[Joshua_Mahr]

:beerchug:You know you love us!

[James86]

The Super Spam Bro's
:dancingparty:
but you had the most posts last month

[Joshua_Mahr]

He is the undercover spam brother!

[raidersforever01]

I guess ill go for it again even though i havent even been able to meet the 5 post minimum lol the last few contests.

[Joshua_Mahr]

Bringing some friends over for the team. Cody_Irwin should be here soon.

[Cody_Irwin]

Nice! Hello everyone and hello josh! hah. Gl!

[Tiffy_M]

Count me in. I will try to get the folding going.

[foxmobouser]

Count me in :)

[Leganfuh]

I'm in.

[sifter]

May consider entering, even though I never received the last item I won.

[Cody_Irwin]

He is the undercover spam brother!

No I am, but im too tired and lazy to

[gstillman-Stephanie]

Count me in. The computer room at home is getting very warm during the Summer heat. That, and the hardware needs an update. Some CUDA development work limits the time my GPU can be contributing. Wondering how well a 4 core home theater system might fold.

[James86]

it should pull some pretty good SMP #'s my quad core runs 8-9k a day

[Scott]

I never get ahold of the products, you just e-mailed me and let me know you had not gotten the product. I forwarded that to two people at Gigabyte. On going communication with me on such a thing would be good. But since I do not ever get the product in my hands we have to work with the contest sponsor.

[borschtBomber[SS]]

Not sure how I missed this..but of course count me in :)

To be sponsored by such a company as GigaByte is Awesome. Love it!

[Cody_Irwin]

agreed, I wish i was :(

[brokenwave]

Leganfuh in now NO#1

[Cody_Irwin]

Leganfuh in now NO#1

Im #7! woo haha, i wont hit top 5 at all though :-\ aw well haha

[Leganfuh]

Never say never!!!

[Joshua_Mahr]

Cody.. you can do it man. I have faith in you. I just put both my 2600K to 5.2 I am trying to hit 200k per day. Its all about determination. Well that and sitting blocks of dry ice in you computer case next to the radiators. heh he " I am giving you all I can Captain. She just don't have the power."

[Blacksmith1]

when you hit warp 9.975, let us know.

[Saryn]

I am happy with my rank considering I am running a GPU and a uniprocessor :D

[Blacksmith1]

everyone does what they can with what they have. I used to run just a uni proc client cause I didn't know I could also use my gpu, or the SMP, then i found out i could run on both my gpu's and the smp, and now (well next week when I get my M/B back) I am runing 4 gpu clients and the smp. just depends on the hardware you can wrangle up.

[Joshua_Mahr]

Whatever effort you put forth for the team is appreciated. It is a commitment to fold. Cause after all it does cost money.

[Cody_Irwin]

im trying im trying I havent even been able to post sept once a week it seems lately, Been so busy with Gaming ( Rift Alpha Testing ) for new content with the Dev's.

But ugh I wish I could go past 4.4 but nope, I hit 1.4v+ wich will kill my comp. (1.38v) is highest recommended 24/7, and this has to last me atleast 3 years as far as I know so far. anyone know how many KWH a computer uses in a day if left on 24/7 Newegg likes to sell out asap of their Kill a watt meters. I been running my rig 24/7 like my old comp but dunno what its using still at all even my old one. I been curious and Josh, your comp has the most near mine rig setup since we practically have the same sept cpu Oc. Cause I may try to force my brother to fold but only if I can afford the extra money. (Wich I literitally cant) hah

[Cody_Irwin]

Should be hitting 500k milestone in like lets say 10-20 mins too, Ive dropped 10k 24hr average cause of another one of those deadly wu's that I said earlier that made my score drop before haha. Funny thing too josh Ive already doubled my score total then my Asus one XD.

[Joshua_Mahr]

Awesome Cody.. I have another 2600k coming today to add to the farm.

[Cody_Irwin]

I hate you!!!!!

:(

Ugh If I had another mobo id probally build another rig tbh... but i dont :( Id have to win one if I want to get a motherboard.

Thats the one thing I need mainly haha. I got a antec tp 650 650watt psu, a antec 900 case, just need mobo cpu and ram. I got two graphics cards so I can always put one in it. Ughhh I need to win a motherboard!

[Joshua_Mahr]

Sorry dude. Least you got a chance to catch me now. My folding is not so strong at the moment. Still is dropping I think. It saddens me when I can not fold at full throttle!

[Cody_Irwin]

Sorry dude. Least you got a chance to catch me now. My folding is not so strong at the moment. Still is dropping I think. It saddens me when I can not fold at full throttle!

Wait what??? I got a chance to catch you now?? dude Im still eating ur dust, wait no Im not eating ur dust Im eating ur hot asphalt spitting out from under you as im trying to run and keep up with you but no wheres near lmfaooo. I envy you!!!

[Joshua_Mahr]

Well as soon as this project is in full swing that I have going I might be down to only 1 2600k folding. Which is only about 39K a day, but we shall see. Keep trying.

[brokenwave]

good 4 u 2

[Cody_Irwin]

lies I know your gonna fold strong when you get more rigs again haha it always happens. while I stick to the one I only got now :( i really need a new mobo to force me to build a new comp.

[brokenwave]

we had few more ppls to join our team

[Joshua_Mahr]

We need to have a BJorn3D party!

[Cody_Irwin]

Ugh I rode my bike for 4 and a half hours straight yesterday, 200+ drunk/high/sober people riding their bike after midnight blocking all traffic was fun, but oh man i almost blew my ankle n knee out, while also being raped by my bike seat. My seat sucks so bad, i have a black n blue butt no lie haha.

[Blacksmith1]

that would have been more appropiate for the pure randomness thread in the off topic forum.

[Cody_Irwin]

true but anything can end up going in the pure randomness as well as here.it happens XD im just too sore to go click on that forums haha.

[Joshua_Mahr]

Lazy a$$. Good job on the bike ride!

[Cody_Irwin]

Haha I am, hence why I did it, but man... Im telling you it was ruff, my buttox is like someone kicked me hard cause of my seat. Almost blew my knee out and my ankle as well, because I was riding a Bmx bike, while everyone else was riding freaking mountain bikes. As well as my bad legs I got.

[Joshua_Mahr]

I ride my BMX Race bike all the time even with the MT Bike guys and Road Bikes. There is an advantage my bike only weighs 20lbs. You need to move to Florida. They have huge bike bar hopping runs.

[James86]

this month is coming to a close good luck all

[Saryn]

Good luck everybody. Pray that I win! ;)

[swmeek]

Tick tock tick tock!
good luck everybody!

[thebluebumblebee]

Okay, you can count me in. I normally don't Fold over the summer.

[Cody_Irwin]

bumblebee its the end of june, you missed ur chance to fold lol. you have today and tommarow thats it lol XD

[Blacksmith1]

there is next months contest, whatever that might be.

[Joshua_Mahr]

Well I managed to stay in the top 20 folders yea! Good luck everyone!

[thebluebumblebee]

Hmmm, my calendar says that June doesn't end until tomorrow. Maybe I missed the memo.

[brokenwave]

gl all and happy 4of7

[sifter]

One more day.. good luck!

[James86]

usually Scott picks a winner on the first so there's still time

[Saryn]

Still time, but a 24 hour average spans over 7 days, so unless you're pumping out a lot in 24 hours, you wont hit the top 20 for 24h average. GL everyone! :D

[James86]

you only get 5 extra entry's for being in the top 20 and 1 entry for every 5 posts during the month

[Cody_Irwin]

Yeap its been Spammapalooza!

[James86]

I think Josh deserves my title more than I do

[ET3D]

It's not that easy to get in the top 20 if you don't have great hardware. Especially since everyone seem to be doing their best to get more points at the end of the month. That's one thing I don't like about folding competitions: you have to have good hardware to win hardware. Still, Bjorn3D is better than most at this, since there's a chance for everyone (in particular spammers :)). Sadly I'm not as much of a spammer as I used to be when I was younger, but I posted a lot more messages than usual this month, so I can hope to win the hardware with which I'll be able to get more points and have a better chance in future competitions. :)

[Joshua_Mahr]

Thanks but I will let you keep it. I will just be your undercover spam brother.

[Cody_Irwin]

Haha, I try not to spam, but its hard for me to actually engage in a conversation, Im stupid :-\ lol

[James86]

yay I made it into the top 20!!
just in time

[Blacksmith1]

I'm begining to think that perhaps scott should consider the quality element when counting posts. but that would effectivly exclude the spam brothers.... ;)
good luck to all of you, I have a feeling I'm not winning this one.

[James86]

you sure have a lot of posts Black this month so you have a good chance

[Blacksmith1]

Yeah I know ,but... Well, I don't know if I'm still eligible. Stuff going on behind the scenes. I'll give ya details when I got them all.

[James86]

ooooh good news
and that happened to me when I became a mod and news manager for another site but now I get to review products so it wins in the end

[Cody_Irwin]

Hah, I really want to test products, I demand intel gimme a 2600k, so I can get a mobo I really want to try out with the 2600k series, since they are one of my favorite companys, wich is Zotac. But im more interested in other mobo's wich has the overclocking features in windows. Josh did you ever read my Overclocking thing with asus software??? 4.4stable @ 1.328v wich goes down to stock after not being in use? even though im folding 24/7 i think its still good for others who want a bit more of a boost though but not keep it at that volt even at idle. Btw if anyone wants the link, you can say so, its just 4.5+ requires over 1.4v wich is a bit too much for me. seeing how this chip has to last 3+years and intel wont cover warranty if I blow my chip if im correct?

[Joshua_Mahr]

Saw the guide pretty good. Trust me you could be at 4.6 with a few tweaks. Still laughing about the buttox.

[Cody_Irwin]

You can overclock the Turboboost? 0.o I thought you had to disable Turboboost when you overclocked the chip. Sorry I've been so busy I've been out of the loop for awhile :(. If you don't mind I'd like a link to it, I'm very interested.

He doesn't use Random.org?

[Blacksmith1]

I think he uses a hat.

[James86]

that's a lot of entry's to put in a hat

[Blacksmith1]

Maybe it'a an Abe Lincoln hat, or maybe Scott just has an overly large cranium?
