Excellent thread - I have been out of the PC game for a few years and had come to the conclusion over the last week or so I pretty much needed to start fresh (which I can no way afford at the moment) so refreshing to see I'm in good company with a Q6600 and looking at going the 970 route also :)...

There should be a load more timing out in the next 24hrs from people who left at the end of the competition without running their queues down first. My last pogs WU validated this morning after timing out on the other person who'd had it. I'm definitely up for more of the same in Jan...

Managed to borrow another 4 cores - hopefully they last till the end of the challenge :|

Thanks for the download - dusted off my old media box, nothing special but every little helps :D Now to run away before I get hooked on the Foldy-crack again :p Thanks to Andy for the heads-up!

Impressive work good sir!!! I am merely a quarter of the way to your combined total :eek:

Well ok so it's been a few weeks since you produced anything but figured it'd be rude not to give you a blast on my way past and see if anything stirs. You have 5 days :)

Welcome back Stan - glad to hear you're making the most of the relatively cooler weather :)

Congrats there good fella! :)

I have an offcut of some brand new carpet you could wrap it in - would be nice and cushioned then too :D

So far so good - production is keeping up and the card is much quieter due to the proper cooling solution :)

Good luck in the new job - hope you can get some crunching going once things have settled :) Personally my output is suffering badly due to a duff card I think (and as I type the GPU fan spinning down probably means another failure - grrrr) looks like my 8800GT might need a kicking. Luckily I...

Simply nuts and awesome to boot - enjoy your ascent old chap :)

hehe - not bad!!! Afraid my crunching has taken a bit of a dive anyway. My GPU doesn't want to complete anything at the moment so I've been forced to switch it to the not-on position. Hoping it just doesn't like the PSU or something as I never used to have the issue when it was in my quad...

Glad you got it sorted - even if it does mean I have to move a cell in the wrong direction for a bit :p

Woah what just happened? My rearview had you down as just under a month behind me and it's jumped to just over a week and a half - bleedin new-fangled massive WUs :p :D Looks like a short excursion outside the top 30 is on the cards for me then - until I catch up with Milky^ in a month or so -...

Simply awesome Stan!!! :eek: I like it! :D

Ahhh well glad I could at least give you a moving target even if it was a relatively snails-pace one :p Onwards and upwards good man :cool:

Thanks - feels good to be back and actually putting out some WUs again :cool: Had a bit of a rocky time getting started again, not sure if it was the drivers or the fact I installed them with AV running which I'd forgotten can supposedly cause issues. So far so good the GPU has just finished...

hmm so that's why I'm still up and now have a lovely trip-wire across the living room :D will at least see if I can twitch a bit before you stomp me :o

Nicely parped there good sir! :) Indeed I am back - just got my ADSL sorted last night and hoping to get some GPU-cruncherage on the go shortly :cool:
