Hi all,
Edit: The poll has been created now - 7 projects were "suggested" in various comments...so pick ONE and we'll go with that, with the 2nd choice being the "back-up".
I suggest we start the Crunchathon this coming Friday 7th December....which gives us around 3½ weeks of crunching until New Years Eve
regards
Tim

Primegrid runs to hot for me as, for some reason, the CPU fan sticks at 2,500 rpm no matter what the temperature is!
If WCG wins are we gonna have another vote to see which sub project to do :)

Hi Mike
You could get a new fan that either goes a bit faster or which has the capability to move more air, simply by having a larger rotor area.....and new fans can be had quite cheaply...you shouldn't need to change the heatsink.
re: WCG
As all the sub projects are are grouped together towards any individuals WCG total credit, I don't see the need for a further vote...as ANY WCG credits will be counted.

Hi all,
OK - so the poll is now over, and the winner by a short head is POEM, with the backup project of WCG....
So, the idea is to crunch as much as possible for POEM and if they run dry of WU's then to switch over the WCG.....
And we'll hopefully provide lots of credits from NOW, until the end of the year....
On your marks, get set.....CRUNCH !!!
