T32 EOC WIR 31Jul20: The end of summer is near. Prepare to fold.

[don256us]

I was able to get this done today but the milestones are still a problem for me. You guys are doing some really good stuff here and appreciation to all is warranted. Post your individual milestone below to share with the team and thank you to you all.

Team Conquest/Threat List

NVIDIA Corp	4.1 weeks	down from 1.6 months.
PCMR	1.9 months	down from 2.1 months.
Taiwan Team	8.2 months	down from 9.9 months.
PC Games Hardware	1.3 years	up from 1.2 years.
CERN & LHC	1.4 years	down from infinity.

WhitehawkEQ noted that there are more than 5 teams fighting for our team ranking. Looking at the chart, we are # 30 for ppd which means that there are 29 teams earning more than we are. 5 of those teams have already out produced us which leaves…. *take away the 1*…. add 3 to the N…. 24 teams gaining on us? What ever the real number is, I ain’t charting more than the 5 EOC shows on the Threat/Conquest chart. Ain’t nobody got time for that.

The team from Arizona dropped off our threats list and we are still holding PC Games Hardware off pretty well. Don’t fret. Do FOLD!

Active folders and ranking:

	Active Folders	Ranking	Ave PPD
This week	102	80th	1.17 million.
Last week	108	83rd	1.02 million.
2 weeks ago	110	80th	931k.
4 weeks ago	132	81st	935k.
5 weeks ago	134	81st	851k.
7 weeks ago	140	82nd (Like the All American Airborne but we aren’t them.)	924k.
8 weeks ago	147	86th	881k.
9 weeks ago	148	94th	898k.
10 weeks ago	150	95th	877k.

We lost two more active folders but the average ppd has gone up again. This might indicate that the people that we are losing are lower point earners. Note that I did *NOT* say lesser. All points are good points and we ask for nothing more than what you can do. Thank you* for what you have produced, are producing and will produce. (* Not Don. He let his points slide. Probably paused folding to game and forgot to start it up again after two days.)

Top 20 PPD:

1	HayesK	21.25 million.
2	WhitehawkEQ	12.61 million.
3	orion456	7.58 million.
4	torin3	7.10 million.
5	Maviryk	7.10 million.
6	JrClocker	5.84 million.
7	TC	5.07 million.
8	Computekinc	4.26 million.
9	OSUmaxx	2.93 million.
10	hshtick	2.79 million.
11	dfonda	2.41 million.
12	BigBlockk	2.40 million.
13	harlam357	2.26 million.

T…T… TOP 30! WOOT! How very awesome! Please post below what you’ve got (hardware) in the fight. It’s always great to read about hardware am I right? Am I? Really. I want to know if I’m right. No. No I’m right. Post your hardware specs that you’ve put in the fold.

T32 Top 100 or (Page 1):

Moving up 8 spots each:
Maviryk @ #53

Moving up 5 spots each:
BigBlockk @ #73
payj94 @ #99 and making it into the top 100! WOOT!

Moving up 3 spots each:
Grub @ #87

Moving up 2 spots each:
Zerileous @ #80

Moving up 1 spot each:
Travis4Sutton @ #33
gulp35 @ #40
OSUmaxx @ #57
hitman @ #63

Some really nice pushes going. 1 guy moving up 8 spots, 2 guys moving up 5 spots. Very nice indeed. I still contend that this is the place to have some fun. Read below from last week:

“These are the stats that I always enjoyed the most as a “young” folder. Moving up in the ranks for the team is full of little challenges. You see a teammate just above you and you set your goal on that guy. Then the next. Sometimes you see someone who is earning similar points and you challenge them to a race to the next milestone. There is all kinds of fun to be had just right here. Pick your target and have at it.”

World Top 200:
Moving up in these ranks is difficult. Great job guys.

torin3 has been able to move up this week. We haven’t had anyone move up in this table for a long time.

Congratulations to everyone on their hard work and earned goals.

Build, Borg, Recruit.
If you’re not having fun, you’re doing it wrong.
It’s not how much you fold but if you fold.
If you fold, then you’re my friend.
Keep your stick on the ice.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step.
Everything is within walking distance…. if you have the time.
SEND IT!

Please provide another cliché here.
Until next week…

My move up is going to be very temporary. There are still some big movers heading up behind me that will pass me in the next week or two. After that I might be able to start climbing again.

 

[WhitehawkEQ]

You asked for it, here it is
Ten EVGA GTX 1080 SC with the video ram clocked at 5GHZ
Two EVGA RTX 2080 Super Black at default setting

I probably should move the 2080's to an Intel system, right now they are in AMD systems GA-990FXA-UD5 rev 3.0 & GA-990FXA-UD5 R5 rev 1.0.
The Intel systems have PCIe 3.0, the AMD systems have PCIe 2.0. And yes I'm using Windows so deal with it


Duh why am I typing this all out? you can just look at my sig

 

[Maviryk]

I've got four 2080ti and a 1070ti running overnight/weekends at half power. When we get the AC fixed at the house I'll have the 1080ti added to the mix.

 

[don256us]

I'm running a 1080Ti a 1080 and an AMD threadripper with 10 of it's 12 cores to folding. I have an Unraid server running 6 cores on the CPU and when I can get new Nvidia cards in my main system, I can run Nvidia cards in an Unraid docker for even more ppd. But that's for another day.

Are the TR as efficient to run as the GPU folding? I have two rigs with the 2950x. Cpu folding disabled because outta just too loud/hot.

No. I just wanted a platform with a LOT of PCIe lanes and TR was the cheapest way to get that over Intel who does not supply as many lanes no matter the price. But, since I have the cheapest TR (1900) and it has all those cores.... Bonus.

Each GPU uses x16 electric not just physical. I then have enough lanes left over for 2 x NVMe @ x4 each and more lanes to spare.
