Congrats to the June Contest Winner. And the winner is :

[Scott]

Blacksmith1

Wow talk about alot of entries with post. Had several members get allot of extra entries due to that. Also extra folding entries.

NOW, Blacksmith1 was not and has not been finalized as staff at this time. He may be coming on board latter this month as News Poster but nothing set in stone yet as my partner Bjorn is on vacation and we have to finalize what is what when he gets back.

I also did not even mention the news position to him until this last Tuesday so I do not think there is any reason not to let him win this prize.

Thank you all for your hard work.

July's contest has the new AMD motherboard for the new AMD CPU up for grabs. I will start that contest on July 5th and yes it involves Folding so do not stop Folding.

Congrats again and thank you for supporting our little Folding Team

Scott

[Joshua_Mahr]

Congrats Black!!!!!! Good Show!

[Blacksmith1]

WOW! I was reading the title and while waiting for the page to load thinking "is: not me". I was actually shocked. Hopefully (and I can't belive I'm saying this) I will be ineligable for any future contests. at least for awhile.
I for one will keep folding, and now I'll be able to up my points yet again. :D

[Cody_Irwin]

grats man, :( but btw, i think next contest, folders should have a better chance, instead of staying on the top 20 we work with like a certain amount of points gives you a ticket, ect. i think spammapalooza was a bit much on everyone haha XD.

[Cody_Irwin]

once again grats, this took alot out of me XD, but yea... i need sleep now :-\

[James86]

[Cody_Irwin]

I think i should get a new mobo because everyone is using a sig from me, wich has become popular lmfao.

[James86]

[foxmobouser]

Congratz Black I had a feelling it was going to be you! Enjoy

[sifter]

Everytime I read Black saying it wouldn't be him, I thought crap he won it... congrats!

[Blacksmith1]

Is that the magic trick to winning? cause it seems like every time I was sure I hadn't won was when I did. Like the last SPAM contest (yes Spam brothers you heard me right. Spam, the only requirement) when I quit posting in the middle of it. I got more posts this month actually.
But thanks guys, and thanks to Bjorn, Scott and Gigabyte for making this possible.
and to those of you that spammed like crazy and still didn't win, may I say :na:
;-)

[James86]

when I got my prize it came quick cuz my work was only 15 miles from the Gigabyte HQ

[Blacksmith1]

[James86]

Nah it was DHL but I'll drive over there to pick your prize up and try it out :icon_tiphat:

[Blacksmith1]

Thanks! but that's not necessary, I trust them to send me a working card.

[borschtBomber[SS]]

Congrats Blacksmith!

[Blacksmith1]

I left the house a little after 6:00 PM to run my daily errands, when I got back I found out I missed UPS. They showed up just after I left. (figures.) Assuming they don't lose this package like they did my last one, I'll have the card tommorow sometime after 5:00 PM.

[Blacksmith1]

It came today, It's installed and running.2734 We'll see how it works.
Thanks again to Scott, Bjorn3D, and Gigabyte.

[Joshua_Mahr]

Zachig did you do the shader unlock on your 6950 yourself?

[zachig]

Sorry for the late response...YES I DID...and it worked like a charm. Very simple BIOS flash of the card.
It is running cool with 6970 clocks, even though I didn't overclock it further and I can...or at least I think I can.

I would like some help doing that to mine. If you would not mind giving me a little help.

SURE...Just ask.

Oh...and make sure your 6950 is the 2GB version and not a 1GB version, as it works only on the 2GB ones and only on old/first/initial batches, as in later batches there's a rumor that AMD has laser-cut the 'extra' shaders...
