Trumpet Blowing 2011

1111 WUs seemed more interesting than 600k...

i have both you and tarka bearing down on me... hopefully i can keep ahead of you for a little while longer

 

Think you will be safe for a while, I cant afford to fold 24x7 and I'm going away on holiday soon so there will be a big blank nothing for a while from me

Also gonna have to slow down with summer coming along, its getting waaay to hot in here for my liking.

Should make a good appearance throughout winter tho, hopefully will be building a new media PC on a i7 2600k and will have it doing bigadv 24x7 all winter.

 

26 million points

 

passed 4 million earlier this weekend and completed my 1,500th wu earlier aswell

 

Well pushed through the 10 million point, its slow going from now on! 20 mil is a long way off.

 

Just made the 8 million mark today! It's still slow progress but I'm slugging away for 10 Mil. My new hardware configuration is making a difference for sure even though I'm not running it all just yet

I'll also be in team position 85 before midday tomorrow, which as far as I can remember will be the highest team position I have held in my 6 years of folding

 

Chugged thru 25 million earlier this week whereupon two machines fell over - obviously, over-exuberant celebrating which I frown upon

 

My first anniversary folding for the team, really enjoyed it

A big thank you for all the friendly advice especially in the early days.

 

w00t !!

Just passed 300k

Mag entry here i come!!!!

 

Recently broke 100k .

Although it may seem like small time points to the rest of you F@H giants, I think I'm not doing too badly, averaging about 11k ppd. Hopefully will boost that up when I get round to putting on my heatsink and OC'ing my 2500k.

 

grats to leroyingo for breaking the top 500 [and overtaking me]

should break into the top 500 myself later today [currently #501]

 

Thanks RedFlames, and congrats to you on your soon to be be top 500 status.

 

i'm now #499... i've broken the top 500 [again... i think], 750k and the magic million are still looking a long way away though

 

Just ordered my zalman GTX 470 cooler, so i should get this in time for the weekend to fit this up and hopefully get my precision unit on-line for folding.

If I do get this going 24/7 then i would be looking at 19k ppd from this rig

Im also gonna sneak a new GPU into a redundant PC here to up things a little more, maybe a 560 if i can wangle it

 

Hit the top twenty in da team after a long struggle back. I was 19th years ago producing less than 1k points a day happy days, eh? Leccy tuppence a kWh, petrol 70p a litre, wife woz a supermodel ....

 

Given the terminology in your sentance , i believe you to be 128.5 years old? (its the petrol bit that gives it away )

Mind you, i have a Fiat 500 hire care at the moment, and it cost £ 45 to fill it up and you get 500 miles a tank

Beats my old Hilux which was £ 100 to fill up and get 400 miles to a tank

 

When I started driving in 1976, petrol was 45p a gallon (4.54 litres) then went up in a few weeks to 68p. I am not quite 128.5 years old, but 'our lass' could well be - I dare not ask!

 

Hehe..........

/saga high five

 

OK hows this for an upgrade ??

I have installed my Zalman cooler for a GTX 470. It used to fold on the refernce cooler at 89 degress........yes thats hot...

The same card with the Zalman cooler on now folding at 70 degrees with the fans on minimum!!

fans at what i can only say as 50 % folding at 63 degrees.

Here's the best bit at 100% folding at 60 degrees

THATS A 29 DEGREE DROP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guys if you were ever considering one of these for any GPU........FFS BUY IT!!!


Peace out

 

First trumpet for me to blow: 5 million points (averaging 1 million a week)
