My Best month on Prime Grid

Hopefully my upgrade builds to 2 extreme PCs is paying off.

Managed to do 5 new primes, and 1 wingman double check In January 20.

Hoping to bag a Mega at some point.

Hi Richard

Excellent - very well done.

I've only ever found 2x T5k Primes since I joined PG in August 2005 - but both were "double checkers" and took me until February 2019 to get them...!!

Perhaps if I crunched more PG tasks, I might find more...but I've earned 64m credits so far so maybe Lady Luck is not on my side :-(

regards
Tim

Hi Tim,

PPSE yields well for me on the CPU side.

GFN16 and 17 LOW are also pretty fruitful. I've abandoned the GFN15 as they don't seem to qualify for any challenges.

I yet to get a mega.......

Hopefully we can all get the TdP badge this year. Good Luck.

The 7980XE is running 18 PPSE and 1 GFN 17 Mega, which uses about 70% of 1 core as well as the 2080ti.
The 7940X does 14 PPSE, and a GPU.

It keeps my office toasty night and day :lol:

Congrats Richard, looks like some solid upgrades. Good luck on the mega!

I think many of us have quite warm rooms :shock:
