July Bjorn3D Folding @ Home Contest, Your Chance to Win a Gigabyte A75M-D2H

[Scott]

The prize for this months Folding@Home contest is the brand new AMD based Gigabyte A75M-D2H motherboard.

2732

You can find info about this motherboard here (http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3930#ov)!!

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

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 10 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 10 entries. If you are 21-25 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.

I was hoping for a UD3 or UD5 so I could drop my AM3 cpu right in
but still a great prize to win and I see the posting bonus entries have changed good luck all

I was thinking about passing this contest but I like the new A8 apu's so count me in. Sorry can't fold as much as usual but will come back strong as soon as I can!

[Cody_Irwin]

I will most liekly not be... I really got sick of the spam myself. ill be folding but dont count on me spamming. like mr.josh up there with 800+post cough cough =P

[brokenwave]

let the spamming @home with bjorn3d begins

[Joshua_Mahr]

Yea yea. But that is what the contest calls for to win. James and I do have some good posts most of the time.

[Cody_Irwin]

Yea but, I really dislike posting, Im non social on even facebook lol.Im just gonna keep my rig folding and thats that. If I post here, its just because I had something to say or catching up.

[James86]

I don't think I'll be spamming it up as much as last month but I already have 100 posts for the month so far
I try to keep on topic and provide help where I can

[gstillman-Stephanie]

Good contest. I would like to get another system up and folding. I hope the heat generated in the new cpu's is much lower. Gets hot here in the desert!

[brokenwave]

wow dell 7400 its big me use 5400 at home

[Joshua_Mahr]

Huh?

[ET3D]

While I have a general interest in Llano and this board looks pretty good, I don't see myself creating a PC out of this, so I'll pass.

[Scott]

Well maybe next month I will get rid of the extra forums entries counting, will see. Might have to raise min post count to 25 though.

[James86]

That sounds like a good idea Scott I know some people might get discouraged by Josh and my posting numbers and just not try to keep up

[brokenwave]

we... i mean i am not or care about post the #'s or posts from other ppls. but 25 is alot for me to post anything useful , how about 15?

[Joshua_Mahr]

I second James. Maybe more incentive for points folding though like have to stay in the top 5 get 5 entries, top 6-10 get 4 top 11-15 get 3 and top 16-20 get 2 extra. I shouldn't be saying this considering I cant do a lot of folding lately or coming up but I think it would bring a little more points for the team. IMHO...
:keepfolding:

[James86]

ya could do like ASUS ROG does and get 1 entry per x amount of points but then you'd have to have different brackets so everyone has a fair chance

[Leganfuh]

Count me in.

[Scott]

Well maybe you guys could help me come up with contest ideas but have something to do with getting people to read more and partake on the site. I want to keep Folding involved with it. That is my main goal with the contest but I need to build readership of the site also.

Peter and Aditya have done alot with our Facebook page but it does not mean we bring more readers to Bjorn3D. Trying to kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

[Joshua_Mahr]

Yea that's why a min post count of like 30 or so (meaningful posts). Then have the folding bracket for top 20 like I mentioned earlier. Also we just need the ability to bring people here. Maybe a extra ticket for each person a current member bring on board to Bjorn who enters and posts. Kinda like I brought Cody and Tiffy here. Just some Ideas. Cause I have to admit we have some great people here we just need more like them.

[swmeek]

Sounds like it ought to be a popular contest but I'm going to pass on this! Good luck to all!

[slugbug]

I was hoping for a Z68 board.

If you need someone to test the llano and board in a real life situation of gaming and daily use, i would be more than happy to add it to my rig ;)

[Cody_Irwin]

Yea I havent been here but GL Guys, I just cant find anything I can actually post in without sounding needy for posts for these contests.
