Ok then. Looks like we have a couple crunchers on this already and NC is having another cold snap so let's fire up the new heaters on some Collatz.

In my case it is the opposite. I fired up my GPU's to add some additional unwanted heat so that I can justify using the Aircon and help these poor buggers at the power company. I am their friend already. They gave me an 18% discount compared to the highest 16% other Co's offering.

You are hard core Pete. I've sworn off GPU crunching during the summer months except for emergency smack downs.

I've simply just killed most of mine

We got passed by LAF. We need some more credit hungry crunchers. Collatz pays pretty well these days. I have GTX 960 earning over 60k per hour. A GTX 1080 earning over 240k per hour.

What config settings are you using on your 1080 and are you running more than 1 WU?

EDIT: Bowmore doesn't have anything better to do right now

I'm using this though I've not found any consistent advice on the forums. One WU at a time. GPU running 99-100% but I'm using PC. It does make the video jumpy if you use the system...
verbose=1
kernels_per_reduction=48
threads=9
lut_size=17
sleep=1
reduceCPU=0
sieve_size=30
cache_sieve=1

Avg WU times around 420 sec

I changed my config file and credits went from 5M/day to 6.6M/day on the GTX 1080. Thanks!

Bowmore is now awake and on the job 8)

Less than 2 days to go and TSBT is 6th of 17 teams. Not too shabby. The new Pascal GPUs are running well. I have some Maxwells which run well also but use a little more power than the Pascals.

Hey Pete, on the Enigma machines you turned off the network on do you have enough Collatz bunkered to kick SUSA's butt? If not I'm going to shut down the GPU.

That machine has 7 VMs that I can bring up for my Goofy run I didn't put Goofy on it because of the Collatz challenge.

TSBT finished a very credible 5th from 17 teams.

Individual kudos to
McShane of TSBT 4th
