It's That Racing Time of the Year!

The Great Chimp Challenge
Folding @ Home Race!

Start: Saturday, April 13th, Noon (Pacific Daylight Time)
Finish: Tuesday, April 23rd, Noon (Pacific Daylight Time)

What: It's the big yearly charity race to increase awareness and
recruit volunteers for the Folding@Home medical research project.

We ( Overclockers.com: Team #32 ), are racing against:

Custom PC & Bit-Tech: CPC
EVGA
Hardware Canucks Forum: HWC
Overclockers.net: OCN
Tech Power Up!: TPU
TSC! Russia : TSC
Overclockers Australia: OCAU
Vietnam Global Team: VGT

Want to race with us? We'd love to have you join us! 

Go here, and download the program that folds, using your computers spare cycles:

Stanford University, Folding@Home website:
http://folding.stanford.edu/English/HomePage

The website will help you pick out the right version, for your system. Highly recommended: the FAHControl v7.3 or above.

Pick out a unique folding handle for yourself, and test it here:
http://folding.stanford.edu/English/FAQ-main#ntoc31

You will want a unique folding handle!

And by all means, get a passkey while you're "nearby":
http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/getpasskey.py

You'll receive no spam from it - it helps F@Home with the bookkeeping of the work units AND it gives your account AND your team, a *LOT* more points after several days of folding.

We ARE the 2012 Chimp Challenge Champions - but this is a handicap race, and that means it will be tough to repeat that victory - but we are going to do it, or melt Stanford Folding@Home servers, trying!!

We love our Lucky Monkey image!

Thank you! It will be fun, but we have some tough competitors!

I will flip my machines over to FAH on the Friday so they are ready to deliver points Saturday.

Time to hit the "no new tasks" button (assuming you get 7 to 10 days of downloads)

As previously noted, I got my FX folding away for team 32!

Adak · Apr 9, 2013

You've been added to the racer's list, as well! Thanks a lot!

the_cultie · Apr 13, 2013

We have set sail into battle but
we are still looking for more recruits!
Give a shout if you need airlifted aboard.

I switched over at the start. I'll be back on Rosie with a little extra Tue night. Thanks to the Rosetta folders who have helped out. Hope we can hang on! :grouphug:

Thanks in part to all our supporters -

We Won!

That's two in a row! I can't remember the last time that happened.

Thanks and we will be docking with the USS Poo Flinger on "Operation Primate", to give you guys a hand. It will be a few weeks before we get here, as the ship has to make several "Ports of Call".

All info on it, a map, and updates, are posted in the folding forum - Operation Primate thread.

It's CC Race Time!
