OK 1 more day...It looks like prophets will take it
but there is no slacking off.

I don't get it ... right now, the Gap is only 8.96 which is around 9,000 points.  When Dip's cap was reset, we didn't immediately bolt ahead of them, but, we did pass them and now have dropped a bit behind.  Why do you say they will take it?
 
At any rate, my rigs are folding at 100% and will continue through the end of Madness.  Unless I have a hardware failure, I should finish a bit above my estimate of 110 / day.

At the moment I seen it they were 80 points up. (one 3930k) 
there was still a chance of winning it tho...
 
so Just fold and see what happens...
In any event Im going full out til the end

It's really tough to tell at this point ... we're now UP 15.26 points

my i7 920 won't fold no more so i'm down 14000 ppd still pulling in 50,000 ppd

Suffered same fate with a 2600K earlier, but, switched mobos and did an OS reinstall that cured all ailments.
 
We're now up 25.89 ...  

I have been out way too long....  My gpu's are acting strange, they will crunch with no issues, but folding, I guess they need a break....  the 8800 keeps giving an error, looking around it seems like its with the new drivers and the monitor sleeping thing, but I don't have those drivers loaded and it does the same when using that one for the display as opposed to the 460.  The 460 will fold fine but when it finishes a wu and starts a new one, the gpu usage is sporadic.  The ppd estimate in Tracker goes from 15k down to about 2k until I stop and start gpu0....  I just have them crunching right now, with my homework this weekend, I would have to stop them folding anyways for most of the weekend.  Might keep the 460 going overnight, get a wu or two turned in at least....

The GPUs starting with sporadic activity is normal the best I can tell ... not a long time folder here, but, they've always done that with my 460s and 450s.
 
Whatever you can fold over the next week or so would be welcome.  When I want to use my rigs for more than simple tasks and continue folding, I use GPU heat control (75% to 90%) and fold on less than the full number of CPU cores (6 out of the 2600K's 8) ... these are under the configuration tab in FAH GPU Tracker.
 
Edit:  We're now UP 18.58

well now my i7 is dead took it to my buddy's place last night and does not even boot up now in my rig or his so till i can get a AM3 chip my 2 460's are down also

Will not help for the remainder of Madness, but, wouldn't Intel set you up with another i7 on an RMA?

FYI ... will probably lose around 10 - 12k PPD + a dozen or so WUs / Day starting tomorrow.  It will probably drop production down closer to the 110 CPPD estimate.  Will try to get part of the production back during evening and early morning hours, but, it's a rig that is used for family gaming and the users are not able to restart the folding software after they've had their fun

well my production is down today...
however it should be more than average tomorrow.
 
Do what ya can we have a record to beat
 
 

Sorry guys, my rig went down yesterday afternoon some time, not sure why so lost some production as I didn't notice until now.
Currently back up and running.

No SMP Wu from the i7 today - I may have one from the q6600
 
seems I picked up a heavy  - WU 6900: tpf 18:16
due around 8 oclock tomorrow morning

Yep ... got some kind of monster as well:  P10127 (R87, C2, G34) with a TPF of 00:35:41.  It's due to drop this afternoon for 17,452 points.  Picked this up on the Q9650 too
 
 

yeah, 6900 is bigadv... I just updated my project file
my first one and in win7 

60k bomb tomorrow ....correction - Folding forums gave me wrong WU info
more like 77K bomb

thats just over 400% projected PPD

thats just over 400% projected PPD

 
and here i was excited about breaking 300k for the month

yes, but will i make it? that is the question.
 
--remember guys, every point we do produce sets the bar that much higher for next year as we've already beat our record, and technically we could still get 7th place... if we are hungry enough!
 
its just 2 more days, you made it to here without quitting, lets kick some Asps (yeah, that's right: kick the deadly snake)
 
and I hope that I have done you guys proud as co-captain/ random draftee into team CTFD. Hope its been crazy.

whoo!!! what a day!
130K in a single day - my best output to date
Im closing in on my 2M - just 135K (45K avg to make it)
 
just keep on plugging away and pushing... only 3 days left and anything can happen

It's been fun ... sure would like to see your 'err system' ramp it up one last time for the last couple of days.
And, it looks like you might be doing just that

the contest could honestly end anytime between now and the 1st... today is the 4 week anniversary of the contests start date, tomorrow is 1 week from the start of the round, Saturday is the last day of march and--acoording to xz, Sunday is the last day that our points will count toward march's overall total. without drougnor giving us a definite end time, I guess its just M@DNESS!
 
All war is based upon deception.

gtx260 crashed this morning right as i went to class.  cpu and 9800 have still been folding but the 260 didn't fold at all today.  It's back up now.  I'm hoping i can hit 350k for the month and then hopefully RMA this 260.

was noticing that our gain on the F@Hnonymos team had slowed and was about to offer some more words of encouragement when I realized that my 3930k was off after i forgot to turn it on.we only gained 4 points in 3 hours.
derp.
 
  now we are back on track to catch them and make this yet another close race.

also, just so everyone knows in about 18hrs I'm going to cut my CPPD by about 60 keeping it a neck and neck race. I happen to know that there is plenty of potential power hanging around this team and the other so it will literally be anybody's race at that point. Too many off rigs! we are in the final days guys! one last push!
 
Let me know if you guys get "bored" ^_)^
 
Change of plans... not going to reduce after-all, actually going to increase. I've been told many times during this tournament that "close" races are boring anyway, so hopefully there will be no kerfluffle.
 
10th new goal, 11M
