Our F@H Team needs our help

Chicken Patty · May 3, 2012

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! :rockout:

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"

Norton · May 3, 2012

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... :twitch:

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?

Jstn7477 · May 3, 2012

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.

Why is that Jstn?

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.

Never thought of it that way! Hmm, excellent idea man.. :rockout:

Chicken Patty · May 7, 2012

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

Reminder!

The Official Chimp Challenge 2012, May 15th-25th

BUCK NASTY · May 12, 2012

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.

Chicken Patty · May 12, 2012

Switching over tonight as a matter of fact :toast:

BUCK, any good guides on setting up an i7 for Folding? Not sure if one in the link in the OP, posting from mobile right now. Help me out! :laugh:

T4C Fantasy · May 12, 2012

overall what helps out people the most crunching or folding

Chicken Patty · May 12, 2012

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.

thebluebumblebee · May 12, 2012

My quick guidelines:
*Clean out your systems as needed. This will generate heat. :laugh:

*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.

I already have my main rig setup for this! It will be folding a 2600K @ 4.3ghz and a stock 560TI 2gb!

Alright after getting my new rig all together, I ran into a problem. Thanks to Buck Nasty, Its running fine now. I'm switched over for the team.
