This section is where you can post topics related to Challenges from other websites, such as Formula-BOINC, SETI-Germany and BOINCstats, as well as project challenges such as from WCG, PrimeGrid et al.
As a Team, we really want to engage as many team members with these challenges, as this gives us a great way of attracting more members to our Team...plus we get to show our strengths as a Team by (hopefully) doing well in each one.
PS: I have moved lots of topics into this section where they are relevant...as you can see, we've always been happy to take part in Challenges...and long may that continue

I think a lot of people would be put off by a month long challenge (including me.) But Primegrid should be more thoughtful in their choice of sub-projects for their challenges.
Edit: latest WUs running for 22 hours and only 30% complete. Now detached!

That doesn't sound at all right :-
My oc/d 9450 is finishing them in under 16hrs...
My Xeon is doing them in about 28hrs ( running 8 on a 4core with HT, hitting 80C thanks to wonder Dell cooling :p ), so around 14hrs per WU per core... ( Hmmm I might want to turn off HT on the last day to maximise my turn in... )
Still too long for a 5day challenge really, but surely yours should be in the same ballpark?
My slower PC finished 2 in about 32 hours each, it was my faster quad that seemed to be having trouble, but it wasn`t overheating.
I`ve now put it on something more productive.
