Best Of

Weren't we just saying 3 million? @Massalinie has easily bested the 10 million point milestone in what has to be a record time. Awesome stuff!

Update: I've sold all my G34 Quads (sniff, sniff...) and have built my two new folders. Just got the OS on the second folder last night. One machine is stress tested and ready to go. The newest needs stress testing, which I will accomplish over the next few days. My goal is have both machines folding for Team 93 by the close of this coming weekend. Yes, I DO still have my Passkey, thank you very much. The Passkeys are valid essentially forever, right?

If you're interested, here's a summary of the builds: each ASRock Fatal1ty Z170, i5 6600K, 8GB DDR4 2400; among the two boxes - GTX 980Ti, GTX 1070, 2 X GTX 1080. These will be folding only GPU work units (yeah, the CPUs are overkill, I know). Deja vu; it's been a long time since I last posted specs for a new Folding rig. It's a good feeling!

OS, at least for a while, is Windows 10 Pro (cheap, but legit keys, from eBay). I think the last time I ran distributed computing of any kind in Windows was 2011. Mr. Linux Ubuntu will take a vacation, at least for a while. Overclocking is only Turbo mode, enabled in the BIOS for the CPUs. One design consideration for these boxes was to keep power consumption at a sane level. In that respect, there is no 'snif snif' at no longer having the Quad beasts. After getting back into the Windows-Folding groove, I'll experiment with GPU overclocking and see what it does to power consumption.
