Our F@H Team needs our help

Alright ladies, our TPU F@H Team has decided to join the Chimp Challenge this year.

Every year when they join us WCG peeps we switch over whatever cards/compatible CPU's we can to F@H to give them as much of a boost as possible.

In the link above you'll find all the info about this years Chimp Challenge, below you'll find how-to's and tutorials on how to setup your rigs for F@H.

Folding Essentials / Tutorials

Let's give them a hand and show the rest TPU is BOSS!

Who's down?

NOTE: have your rigs switched and Folding a few days before to be fully up to speed by the time the contest starts. Also remember, we all fold under ONE USERNAME "ChimPowerUp"

I'm in

I'll bring the 6870 from my main rig for GPU folding and one of my crunchers in for CPU/GPU folding

Now to figure out how to do that...

In that link there are tutorials. But check, not all CPU's can fold successfully I think as they won't finish the WU fast enough.

Is there a list of cards/compatible CPU's around so we can check our hardware and potential ppd?

AMD 5xxx, NVIDIA 8xxx (Fermi 4xx or higher preferred) should be minimum for GPU folding.

I'd say Phenom-era AMD CPUs and decent Conroe or higher CPUs, but I never fold on my CPU.

I feel that crunching is a better use of my CPUs. Since I have 7 video cards and 4 CPUs to use, I dedicate my GPUs to F@H and CPUs to WCG. Gives me an opportunity to do both projects too.

That's what I do, GPU's for folding, CPU's for crunching. Speaking of I need to get my GTX295 folding.

Reminder!

Just a reminder guy's, the Chimp Challenge starts on Tuesday @ 12pm Pacific(3pm EST or 19:00 GMT). Please have you rigs switched over on Sunday, so we are up to full speed on Monday. Many thanks from your F@H brothers for your participation.

I'd say they both help out tremendously. They both have the same objectives. I personally like WCG, but that can just because it's where I spend all my time. I fold as well, I just had my folding rig down forever.

My quick guidelines:
*Clean out your systems as needed. This will generate heat.
*If you are running a Nvidia GPU, it does not matter which "client" you use, V7 or FAHTracker. These front ends are so good that the console clients no longer need to be considered.
*If you are running an ATI/AMD GPU and that GPU is HD5xxx or higher, you must use V7.
*There are no Work Units (WU's) left for the HD2xxx-HD4xxx. Sorry.
*Stanford's guide for the V7 client is good. http://folding.stanford.edu/English/WinGuide
*Step 5 in our The Official Chimp Challenge 2012, May 15th-25th thread is normally no longer needed. The client now recognizes hd5xxx and newer during the install.
*A lot of questions have been asked and answered over the last few days. Just think of the last 2 weeks of the following threads as our FAQ's.
*** F@h Tech Assistance Thread *** Best place to ask questions
TPU's F@H Team
*We appreciate those who come to help and will do everthing that we can, as quickly as we can to answer your questions. (but I won't be available on Sunday until late)
*Team: 50711, Username: ChimPowerUp I suggest you copy and paste the username because capitalization matters!

Just use Fahtracker V2. Configure the client and it's set and forget.
