That's a large Prime. Well done Ricky. Let's hope he visits the forum soon. :)

[AMDave]

Woah. Thats huge.
No wonder it took 59 1/4 hours to turn around.
That's some heavy duty dedication to the cause.

Persistence pays off.
You never know, the next one could arrive tomorrow.


Well done Ricky.
Very well done indeed!

As the rapper Eminem would say.... Will the real Ricky L Hubbard please stand up! Please stand up! :icon_mrgreen:

I was searching around on our team but don't find anyone by that name, so the nickname must be different... I wish I could tell who it is to be able to add him to our Wiki. :)

How many of our US members have a hexacore 1090?

[liuqyn]

Total congrats - peachy find. Wish I had the patience to get one that big. I tend to stick with the shorter tasks.

How many of our US members have a hexacore 1090?

I have one 1090Tonly :-(
....but it's running at 3.6Ghz with no voltage increase :icon_mrgreen:

Someday I should attempt to find it's max settings, ...now I"m curious :evil6:

[NeoGen]

Hey... so it's you MiHost! :)

Congrats on the prime. You were not hard to find, the thing was that I never knew your name. lol :icon_lol:

I tried searching the forums for "Ricky" or "Hubbard" but didn't get results, also looked into some of the people of our Team at primegrid to see if I would find the person, but again no luck by the name "Ricky L Hubbard".
Tried looking up people on our Team that had primes found, to see if I would spot that specific prime and who had it, but we got over 100 people and I got bored after a bit. :icon_rolleyes:

Once again, congratulations MiHost! I will have to double check but you might just be the member with the biggest prime found to date! :)
