    7 of us in the individuals list so far, and all in the top 300. Vaughan creeping steadily up towards the top too, currently at position 3.

    8 now, and Vaughan at 2.

    Windows 10 trashed the Radeon drivers of my appointed box (running a PPS sieve WU for over two days) as well as my printer -made OneNote the default printer.
    Can the guys at Redmond keep AWAY from user settings they have no idea about of actual use?

    I'm sure we can get to Team rank 7th.
    I've put 24 instances of AWS Intel Xeon Platinum 8124M @ 3.0GHz on it also.
    My new Ryzen 9 3900X is doing OK with its Noctua NH-D15S CPU cooler installed. I need to add a couple more case fans as it is getting warm inside the case itself.
    AMD's Ryzen Master software shows the CPU temp at 95C.

    Update:
    Added 4x 140mm Noctua case fans and now the CPU temp is displayed as 87C in Ryzen Master.

    You don't feel the need for a push-push/pull-pull installation (two added 150mm fans attached to the Noctua NH-D15S, the original middle as push/pull)?

    Alright then I accept the challenge. I noticed that EXT64 from team [H]ard|OCP has been gaining so I added extra AWS instances. Got 52 of them now

    You should invest in a Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX system for all the money Amazon charges. AND water cooling.

    Hmm an AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX is $2639 at PCCasegear. Plus the water cooler and motherboard and tons of RAM sticks wouldn't be cheap. And its TDP is 250W so lots of heat to remove with the a/c.

    So far for this PrimeGrid challenge (3.5 days) my 30 AWS instances have cost AUD175. For the remaining 1.5 days I've added 22 more so I guess the final cost will be about $500. Last PG challenge cost me USD1000.
