I wouldn't worry about what the CPU speed is so much if I'm honest. Just make sure it's not under high temps when under 100% loads and it'll be fine Make it efficient and not too power thirsty.. If you have a few systems see how much you can tweak them if you wanted to get back in the game. Also if you wish to put it on to the advanced skin, that might show more information that you might like to see A good thing to check also that none for the units haven't stopped you with work.. I've had it a few times, weird issue....
Don't forget to add yourself to to this amazing team!! And more so, welcome to team TPU!!

[trickson]

Okay Can someone please without getting all technonerd on tell me a few things?
First off I want to state for the record I have and HATE FUCKING CANCER! !!! FUCKING HATE IT!
I want to know if anything we are doing is really helping. If so how come my cancer is still aggressive and uncurbable?
Please NO SYMPATHY , it's the fucking worst. I know how you all feel and thanks. I feel worse for the ones we lost.
So now this said how can I help? Can I use old computers? I have 6 computers maybe 7 or 8 if I look around here.
They all can do something or what?
Please help I will donate computers and even want to setup a "Folding farm"
Not sure where to put this question this is why I started here.
Thanks TPU. I know I am a dick hope I don't get BAN.

BOINC will run on any computer, regardless of how powerful the system is. And as far as slow systems go, every bit helps.

As far as if we are helping, I sure hope so. I understand what your saying, the amount of research work being done by BOINC, you would think we would've heard about some positive results from our contributions.

Hi trickson!
You are being a vital part of many posts on our forum. Glad that You wanna be part of us, crunchers for a good cause!
this link gives You the client for distributed computing.

Install BOINC

boinc.berkeley.edu

Once You finish Your install, You have to choose the project,make sure its "world community grid". Then You can choose team TPU to join in and crunch with us.
Compete in points with incredible people like @PolRoger @Norton01 @phill (even tho sun is too weak for him at the moment ) to really put Your parts to the test! Squeeze every PPD You can!
Cheers!

I think it's been all covered by now but thank you @trickson for donating your time and PC hardware to help with all of this.

I would suggest that you use the most efficient PCs you can. I perhaps wouldn't recommend running too old a hardware simply because it's inefficient and for the amount of power these can use, the output (as @Lorec suggests with PPD) would be low for the cost of running things.
As @Lorec suggests I do have solar panels which really helps with the cost of running PCs and the sheer amount of them, I can quite easily pull more power than they'd ever be able to supply (kinda scary thought to be honest...!!) so I'd suggest go with the most efficient and just leave it running as much as you feel comfortable with. Also overclocking isn't necessarily the best way to go, most of the systems I run I do undervolt and under clock to help with heat/temps/power/efficiency.. Not point running something 100% and gaining a few extra work units if the power consumption is double

I think of it as it's not a race just a chilled out plod and I'll do all I can to help Since WCG or FAH etc. never donates money for power/hardware etc. and we do this from the goodness of our hearts, don't make yourself broke over it is all I will say

 

[trickson]

okay got it up and running on the FX8300 where do I go to find TPU?

Going to the R7 1700x now to install it there.

 

[trickson]

Okay it is now on 2 computers this is the Ryzen 7 1700X..

 

[thebluebumblebee]

where do I go to find TPU

Let's walk through this..
On the BOINC manager, select View and then Advanced View then click on the Projects tab

Post a screen shot of that please.
