------------------------------

missed out a few things off the news as im not sure where they come from :p dekez gave me very good instructions but i am having a slightly retarded day today so again, apologies in advance.

we have had a fairly decent week in fairness, Speed and Nathwraith are having a right good scrap at the moment.

Nath has got his brother folding, welcome Freelanc3r :)

we are on Team Engadget's tail at the moment, lets try to get them this week guys. keep up the good work

 
6 new members - great and welcome to the team

Still dithering over which GTX460 to buy - I'm leaning back towards the MSI as the overclocking potential seems to be greater. I will make my mind up soon.

On another note in 6 months time my folding output maybe erratic as I am going to become a dad!!!!!! My wife and I went for her first scan this week and everything is as it should be :)

hurry up and decide, another 460 is never a bad thing!

and congratulations on that news :)
 
Thanks for the news! Good to see we're on the up.

Back after my summer not-on slacking.

I've got some access to a bit of very nice hardware atm (can't say what tho ;))
The box currently running a p2684 WU at about 21.5 minutes per frame (and its running at stock too)
For a comparison a 980X at 4GHz takes about 35mins a frame from some googling.
Alas it wont last too long before i have to put it to some 'real' work :rolleyes:

Shame OCUK messed up my order yesterday, else my gaming rig would have come back online this weekend.Will have to wait until next weekend at the earliest now.

Does anyone know if the bonuses are done soley by passkey? or is it 10 units for every new install before you get them?

Bonuses per passkey, would love to know what your running. Not an SR-2 by any chance...or dual opterons?
 
Great job with news rjkoneill thanks for covering.

I've just got back to my hotel from Venice beach and Santa Monica :D so thought I'd check in, my output is down to 14K but should keep me ticking over whilst I'm away.

What you mean is you've infuriatingly decided to perfectly match my output even though you're not at home thus denying me the ability to catch up with you even a bit!!!

*ahem* ...i mean... enjoy your holiday :)

thanks for the news rjk

Picking up again now. Had a little blip for a day or so due to a schoolboy error :o Running at current limit just now. I'll be doing a little tweaking when I get home in 12 days which should hopefully bring my output back up a bit.

Thanks for doing the news RJ, good of you to step into the breach. Nice output too - good to see some proper testing of the systems there (I'm being serious actually. I've had rigs 24 hour prime stable that fall down within an hour of Folding. It's an excellent test of a system).

Welcome to the new Folders - always good to see new blood.

FOLD ON TEAM 10 :D
 
:eek: the top 20 is starting to look crowded! I should make it into the top 10, but it might be a struggle beyond there.

Good point Plasmoid, you'll be up the ranks in no time though :D
 
Weebeastie still down, i'm on hols camping at the mo. Board rma was successful but i dont trust the P6T7 WS now :(
 
Two days at 120k+ ppd output and this popped out!

Its a shame the box has to be put to be put to its real job this week.
