Maybe it's just me but the link is broken
It's been a decade since I've last done folding@home... I imagine a lot more crunching can ben done per hour now days. I think I have a couple computers at home that could contribute. Only if there's a leaderboard for our group. ;-)
I may reboot all my GPUs. I have tons for this kind of stuff. This one of the custom frames that I built to hold all the folding hardware. It can house 8 GPUs, XL mobo, dual PSUs, and a slot for a HD to boot from.
I took a break from this stuff for the last few years due to not having enough disposable income anymore. I think my electricity bill was around $250/month running these things 24/7. Other distributed projects that was heavily involved was GPUgrid (http://www.gpugrid.net/) and WCG (http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/index.jsp). Those are also great projects to crunch for if you have powerful but idle CPUs and GPUs.
What GPUs do you have glod?
May be dumb, but what exactly is "folding@home"?see Wikipedia entry referenced in op
i used to fold for evga also back in the day when i was on my parents electricity :p. i may be able to get a rig up for this. i have an extra brand new evga 280 gtx if anyone is interested in upgrading or adding a second card to their rig.How much for that card, I'm trying to find one at the moment.
i feel so alone. regardless in just 9 day a few people (mostly bavman and I) have pushed this team into like the top 8000 teams out of 220k. lolIm running just my cpu during the day because its all i can afford :(

If you don't care about power consumption, my gtx 580 is pushing around 28-30kppd, and you can find them used for under $200 which would give nice performance/$.
And when the hell did Glod get in front of me?!??!?! I'm gonna have to start trying harder. Thankfully my cpu finally decided to start kicking in and is doing around 8-10kppd now.

we are going back and forth for 1st, but i have more WU for the past few days.
the most interesting thing is that i haven't been running at full power since the first days and it gets pretty much the same kppd, i have it set on light which uses my CPU at around 60% only unless the computer is completely idle then it runs at 100%. and i stopped using all my video cards and apparently it makes the CPU get more kppd. less heat and power consumption too. weeee
saw that beast join up in this, w00t

I don't know how to set my GPU to run at 50%. It's either 100% off, or I have to set it to "full" for it to work.
Is there I way that I could set both the GPU and CPU to run at like 60%-70% usage when I'm just browsing? So far it's only letting me set the number of cores used and even that isn't that reliable
^^ well that sucks
BTW, suck it boost, I'm already caught up to you!

Yeah i saw you moved up lol
me on the other hand didn't have it running the last 24 hours :( i had to turn it off and forgot to turn it back on

i may sound stupid, but, what is folding ?
this is going to make me use my computer till death :)i may sound stupid, but, what is folding ?
Science! http://folding.stanford.edu/English/Science
Maybe a special "geekhack" key with the folding colours? As I agree the logo is fugly. Also fail post ^^

me does not know what jane is talking about !
LOL
maybe to motivate we can come up with a different group inside geekhack that includes folding like "Geekhack Science", though that sounds a lot like that thing he who should not be named has going (lol ri-pster "keyboard science"). Don't know then, cant think of something right now....i feel like i got like this great idea in my head and i can't get it out.
I think I joined, but I'm not showing on the website, probably need to complete a WU first?
Killed one of my rigs. -_-Holy f*ck
Load at 101c ffs
Wow, I'm running 8 cores 100% on he 3770k and a gtx 570 also 100% and I'm reaching 66c tops
Seems like yo guys been busy folding away!!!!
Give I'll give something away now to the person who has the lead!!
GLOD YOU WON A FREE CRYSIS 3 HUNTER EDITION KEY!!!!!!!!!!
Please PM me for the key.
I'l will be giving more stuff out at random and will be working on the folding contest!
Thanks
So, rewarding the one who has the most horsepower? Well, at least they have the horsepower to run the game.
*starts grumbling about a GT 440 in his spare computer for folding*
I'm getting an 8800 from Boost this weekend I think, so I'll be joining the army. :D

i'm sure we can figure out something, keep folding!
Hate being at the bottom on the ladder, but I hate paying my electric bill even more...
Does it relate to the 10th post of page 3?Hate being at the bottom on the ladder, but I hate paying my electric bill even more...
Don't worry. Working on stuff that all the folders get :)
My folding software has been unable to connect all morning :(
Yeah, inteli, what are you running in that wild machine of yours?
It's the new hotness. You should try it.

Well I'm sold on it
This is going to force me to start actually reading names in posts. How strenuous.
You guys are already falling behind the times. It's all about ultra-rare keycaps as avatars these days.
How long did you wait for the GPU to start? Maybe it's a larger WU and you need to wait a little longer before you see progress.
I think it'd be a good idea to have some basic information about F@H's goals and background in the original post for people who don't know what it is. As of now, I am folding for another forum's team and sticking to that one for now.
Giving this a test. Can anyone tell me if my stats are decent?

That's about right. I get around 38,000 with my 570GTX and i7-3770k both running stock

Good to know. The processor I am running is a stock cooled i7-2600. I figure I'll let it run the rest of the day, see what numbers it puts out.
I just joined, the noble cause! :cool:

great!
it seems people stopped folding......
the truth is though i don't regret continuing to fold even though all but 1 or 2 people have stopped contributing.My third-storey un-air-conditioned apartment is better off without the excess heat from folding. I'll probably start up again once I can make it to Home Depot to pick a unit (depending on how much power the a/c unit pulls).
i have been so busy lately to game and my Leviathan PC hasn't had anything else to do.
i do admit i dropped the level from high to medium to low and now to idle so pretty much it is only folding at night. this is because its starting to get warm outside and my computer puts off massive amounts of heat on load.
I still have absolutely no idea what this thread is about.

Well guys, you got my support on the spare server. We don't pay for power and no one complains if we use a lot, so congrats guys!:eek: :eek: :eek: :) :D ;D :-\ :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :cool:
The system being used is:
Dual 2.7 GHz Quad-Core Opteron 2384s, 48 gigs ram, Server 2012. Unfortunately it has no (real) GPU, only an ATI ES1000, however I can't imagine the heat output of it if I tried to put my GeForce 9800 GTX+ into it, and I would have to route power to the card in the first place. I'll probably be stupid enough to try some day.
necro?I'm unlikely to any time soon; I run a pentuim K and (for the moment) an R7 250.
I'll only restart this if someone actually de-thrones me and my LEVIATHAN.
then and only then will eat the incredible cost added to my power bill, I'll have to re-install high-rpm fans and my room heats up to like 80-85F.
I used to fold for EVGA pretty seriously when the team first started. I have long since stopped. Perhaps I'll slap some stuff back together and help GH get a jump-start.
Good idea, boost. Folding@home is a good cause and a great way to build on forum/group unity.
I keep failing WUs with my GPU.
EVGA GeForce GTX 960 04G-P4-3967-KR 4GB SSC GAMING w/ACX 2.0+, Whisper Silent Cooling w/ Free Installed Backplate Graphics Card
Think I should downclock from "SSC" settings?
EDIT:Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/65cyxWe.jpg)
Crashing with these settings. Temp is way safe. Turn down offsets on gpu and mem?
FIRST PLACE!

Welcome.
That reminds me, I should do a few more WU's.
CRAP!!!!
Nearly had you :)
I have slipped a few places in Overclockers Australia, so I'll have to go back pretty soon.
No thanks. I'll leave it to you and the other dude from 2003. :p
10,000,000 points! Taking a break not folding every day. Will still do a few units here and there this winter.
EDIT: euphxenos coming for me hard and strong! Welcome to the fold whoever you are! <3
Just swapped my main rig to GH's team and my other to another team I've been helping out during this. so 2mil PPD here we come
Thinking of firing up my rig for some folding, as it is getting cooler outside so it's OC/F@H weather.
