Welcome to the new F@H section

BUCK NASTY · Feb 23, 2009

Thanks to the generousity of W1zzard and Techpowerup, I want to welcome you to the new Folding @ Home subforum. All your hard work has made this upgrade possible. This new section will help our Team grow exponentially. I know the entire team appreciates the veteran folders as well as the newer members that bring cutting edge cards to fold for TPU. OK, let's get posting and grow this team!

AWESOME news, good job guys.

Remember, no matter how small the contribution - it's still a worthwhile contribution.

jbunch07 · Feb 23, 2009

Ok So who wants to tell me what I need to do to start folding for TPU? Never done it before but im in the process of building a system just for folding.

PVTCaboose1337 · Feb 23, 2009

SWEET! Now we will get top 50 for sure!

driver66 · Feb 23, 2009

This will be a huge help to organize the HUGE mess we had to work with in one thread :roll:

Now we can have ATI/NVIDIA and cpu client threads broken down to be more helpful :toast:

Whats your set up going to be?

Best bet is to use a GPU folding method, as it does the most amount of work.

PVTCaboose1337 · Feb 23, 2009

Are you saying I should use my 4850 instead of my CPU to do folding?

Well when my board gets back form RMA (Foxconn a7da-s) Ill start putting together a folder...but not sure about what GPU ill use...it will have Phenom 9850BE, 2GB of 1066Mhz Ram and not sure what else ill use but I just need to know what to DL and how to set it up

In the mean time ill fold on my current system when im not using it.

Very much so, it folds more WU in a shorter amount of time. That is you get more points.

driver66 · Feb 23, 2009

hell yes

Where do I find the GPU client?

WhiteLotus · Feb 23, 2009

Just set it up exactly like the CPU one, just make sure it has a different Machine ID or the two will conflict.

Ok sweet, so can i run the CPU one and GPU one at the same time?

WhiteLotus · Feb 23, 2009

yup, again just make sure different ID's and your set. IIRC GPU defaults to ID 2 and CPU to ID 1 but its good practice to make sure.

Castiel · Feb 23, 2009

This is really awesome to have a separate forum just for Folding.

I will be converting all folding to TPU next week!

Suggestion: Buck Nasty Since you are the Folding God here, why don't you make a Guide for folding. Like have all the types of cards that have good PPD and stuff like that to cut down on the thread making?

PVTCaboose1337 · Feb 23, 2009

Yeah a guide would be helpful, like the most efficient settings, etc.

Yeah exaclty. :toast:

mmaakk · Feb 23, 2009

Nice! I think I got it. So now we have our own "Forum".

Hehe I guess I'm the stupid here. 'Cos I always called our old - I guess "thread" - as Forum.

OK, what really matters is that we made it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My special thanks to my "OLD FOLDING FELLAS"

PVTCaboose1337 · Feb 23, 2009

Buck, how many computers do you have folding? And what are the specs of them?

Already working on it. I'm like a kid in a candy store right now

I have 6 rigs in total. Four of them are Quad 8800GS/9600GSO rigs. I have a dual 8800GTS 512 rig and lastly a dual 9800GTX+ rig(my main rig). Pulling juice from 2 addt'l rooms with 12/3 extension cords. This folding thing can be detrimental to the addictive type personality :laugh:

. I know mmaakk has several rigs running also. He should post up his farm cause' I know it just got a new addition.

PVTCaboose1337 · Feb 24, 2009

I cannot afford to even buy one of those! WOW.

Homeless · Feb 24, 2009

New f@h section, sweet

Kursah · Feb 24, 2009

Nice work on the F@H section, Buck I gotta hand it to ya, sure many of us donated and voiced our support, but noone I have seen was as huge of a push to get more people folding as you were. You kept it positive and donated a ton, and the great thing is how much the F@H support has grown here in the last 6 months, it's been just astonishing to see. Great work TPU!
