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" |

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.

I'm in. I'll use my x6 with the Cf setup. All rest of my crunchers won't hack it.

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.

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!
