From what I can see from todays production he/she had a bad unit and got partly credited for it. Welcome to our small team.
 
Hello, I started to crunch/fold yesterday. Thinking about a delid and crunching 100/100.

Temps are night/day.
ambient temp 16C/30C
4790K stock clock, undervolted. 1.217v 66-70C 88% usage 80/100 CPU use/time. save every 10min
GTX 970 1442MHz core. Stock memory clock. 68-72C 98% save every 30min. sometimes it goes down to stock clocks 1164MHz..idk why..losing about 30-40k a day it estimates because of it.
2x8GB 2133MHz
Installed on a 512GB 850 Pro

I have Google Fiber. I liked the initial roll out version the best. I had more options back then. Now they have updated the UI for TV so it has become much more laggy. They also took away the ability to view/play media files from the provided storage device, that means I cannot play any music files from the TV boxes anymore.. that was my favorite feature besides the speed of course. Now I have to stream youtube music to my surround sound in a box system, which for a box system made the quality downgrade very noticeable.
I used to fold on my PS3. I have a slim version if it is still capable or even worth it.
Anything else for awesome people?
 
Hello, just droppin by to say that I want to be a part too! I followed some guides on here and started to fold last night (+8.00 UTC Singapore).

Wouldn't want to waste my systems IDLE time doing nothing so I will try to contribute. Folding with both CPU and GPU.

Ryzen 1700x @ 3.83 ghz and a GTX 970 (mildly oc'd).
Will try my best to fold continuously while I leave my system up.
My internet speed isn't the best but I guess it'll do.

EDIT:
Off Topic: Finally got my long service badge! Woot woot! :D

@psyko12 Thanks for joining. And welcome to the greatest little folding team on earth!
 
Thank you!
Will try 24/7, but most likely be folding a few hours each day :D
 
Just started folding again with my GTX 1080, and will be throwing in my GTX 780 Classy in the next day or 4.

Forgot how good these GPU's are for being nice space heaters.. :rockout:
 
Hi JG

I noticed that you, as I write you, did 15 work units and didn't get bonus points for the last five. As I recall a new folder need to complete 10 without problems before they are eligible for these extra points. I also noticed that you had 8 GPU/CPUs ruining the past week http://folding.stanford.edu/stats/donor/1910727 which indicate that you have plenty of hardware OR that you installed and deleted the program a few times. Did you get a pass key and did you enter it?

Normally I would do this in a PM but you doesn't seem to be a member of TPU yet.
 
Haven't been folding since '09, but decided to jump in at least to test some hardware.
Currently running my GTX1060 6G, but soon I'm going to add some R9 270x cards, if the repair process is successful.
 
Hello all. Been doing WCG for over a decade. I want to make use of my GPUs and BOINC doesn't have many useful projects for GPUs in my opinion. Would rather crunch for medical over alien signals and finding prime numbers.

Tried F@H many times, but never had the hardware to keep up with deadlines and get good PPD.

Just started and plan to continue. At the moment, crunching on 2 GT 630s and 2 GTX 550 TIs. Eventually will have a 750 TI to add to the list. According to the Advanced Control estimations, I'll have around 30-70k PPD in total with the first 4. I won't be running these machines 24/7 for energy efficiency reasons so the PPD will most likely be on the lower side until I get that 750 TI in the mix.

I should have a better number to post after completion of a few WUs.

As expected, I joined the TPU team.

Thanks and hope I am an asset to this team,
-The Data Master
 
Hello everyone.

I am starting folding for TechPowerUp now, admittedly with only my humble GT 1030, but I hope it to be the start of much more for me.

I have installed the Folding at Home client on my Ubuntu 18.04 LSE machine with a Ryzen 3 1200 and GT 1030. Every little helps.:)

my username is "amioriK." same as it is on WCG.


I have installed the three FAH programs, the client, the viewer and the Control application. I have removed my CPU slot, and tried to add a GPU slot, but it says there is no GPU available. Any help will be hugely appreciated. Thanks.

Hello everyone at TPU,

I am a long time reader and user of the main TPU site but just decided to start Folding again.

I was into FAH many years ago (with another team that is now all but deceased - RIP). Anyway back then I went into CPU Crunching (WCG) and still doing that on my Dual Xeon server. Planning to switch teams there too.

As FAH now has Linux client, I decided to give it some love (time) on my crunching server (one Ubuntu 18.04 VM with 8 cores).

I have also just upgraded my Windows 10 desktop PC to RTX 2080 and will run FAH on that (part-time).

Hope to enjoy a more lively and interesting time here at TPU.

Welcome to TPU, F@H@TPU and WCG@TPU! We're not that lively of a team, just a small bunch of very dedicated people. As the weather gets warmer here in the northern hemisphere, some will take a summer hiatus, myself included, so don't be alarmed, we'll be back.
 
Well, I figured that if I already did some folding on my own, why not join the team? Same ID as TPU's username.

I'll be folding mostly on my RX 580 somewhere around 9 to 10 hours daily during working days for sure. Weekends are more random, though.

Besides, I get to warm up my living room during autumn and the coming winter, so that's a bonus :D
 
Welcome and happy living room heating :)

I can across this useful address the other day - WU checker. It allows to check if you WU has been successful sent and what points you received. HFM.net is nice but it only works up to "WU01:FS01:FahCore returned: FINISHED_UNIT (100 = 0x64)". It does not check if you actiually sent it and what point you were awarded.

Edit:I found this one as well "CPU checker". This one was one of @windwhirl 's Wus. Without bonus. With bonus it would have been around 17900, not 4000. Just so you know ;)

Hi, all. I've been folding since 2004, first under the name OvenMaster (2004-2009) and then BlackSun59 (2009-present)
I folded for Maximum PC Magazine's team 11108 since 2004, but the magazine's forum got killed in May 2015.
Now that the MPC site itself has been absorbed into another, I realized that it's time to find a new home.
I took a look around and I like the activity and knowledge that I see here.
I hope you can use ±30,000 CPU-generated points per week.
Regards from Tom

Welp, I'm back from a three year stint crunching. F@H has always been my first love so cue the fanfare.
All I need to do is figure out why I'm not getting bonus points...

Small bonus indeed. Good question. On the last one you should gotten 535 bonus points but that is still only 1530 PPD. Check this
Edit: more importantly check THIS @BlackSun59 . Problem in their end.

No problem. BTW the 7,498 points you got the other day was not missing points from your CPU folding but the base points for one 11733. I was testing if you had a valid Passkey by folding one GPU WU in your name but forgot that there is in fact two different cases - you can have a valid key for CPU and/or one for GPU.

:toast: That's very generous of you. Thanks much!
I've only folded on CPU, and my passkey was not in use for 3 years. Is it possible that there's an expiration date for them? I'd hate to have to get a new passkey and/or folding ID.

Don't think they expires. There is still a problem with the bonus for at least some of the CPUs.
 
Hello everyone, I am beginning to protein fold again after being semi-retired on my system for a long time.

As of now, a great friend of mine is going through the struggle of dealing with Huntington's Disease. As soon as I saw the option on F@H last week, I have taken it and even joined this team once more (previously as PCPraiser100). Please, if you wish to make an effort for a disease, like Alzheimer's, that currently cannot be cured, now is a great time to consider. If you do light gaming, you can still set the load. If you are a workstation user, it won't be of concern until you pause to compile things. Please, I beg you, I do not want my friend to lose himself in great despair. If possible on an open agenda, please consider setting your client to Huntington's.
 
I'm sorry to hear about you friend. I think that most of us have a personal experience with one or more of the bad diseases. If I fold for one disease only I'm afraid that my GPUs would be ruining cold from time to time. I haven't looked into what will happen if I set to let's say Huntington's and there is no work. Anyway you do what you feel is best. I aim wide but think Cancer.
 
Hey guys just jumped on with my rig, (should have some servers soon too)

Currently got a 3900x with dual Vega64 Nitros running :-)

Well damn, no folding currently, keep getting No WUs available errors

Sometimes it help to pause and then resume. The time to next try to download go (sometime but not allways) down to zero. Yes it put more stress on the Stanford servers but....
 
I've joined the team. Using same username as here.

I managed to download and process a couple of WUs last night, but much like on @Hellfire's system the program has been sitting there just waiting for WUs ever since. :(

I'm using my second PC with a 3570k @ 4.2GHz and an RX 570.
