Folding@Home: THGC Needs You -Team 40051

[Mousemonkey]

And how do I join the Tom's team? And will running F@H for !4-5 hours a day (thats my limit.....dad refuses to let me leave the machine on longer, says it will distract me from studies) damage the GPU/CPU?
And what's a WU? And how is the scoring done?

Enter the number 40051 in the team box and all your results will be counted towards THGF, below is a screenshot of the CPU and GPU clients and as you can see they are both set up exactly the same way.

Thanks man.
12 hours left for first WPU. Will post score tomorrow.

yeah, i have to set up F@H for two 4870's now

I just got the my SMP client tweaked and pumping out A3 WU every ten hours, in addition to the GPU client.

HI can anyone tell me whts goin on here
is this abt the proccersors or points or sumthin

HEY BOSS WHY DONT U TELL ME AS IM NEW ABOUT IM UNABLE 2 UNDERSTAND SOME TEAM OR WHAT

SORRY IF I DISTURPD U

Tbh, there should be an icon for folding for toms on the home page that never goes away. That would get a ton of new users although they would come and go like the rain, it would still help overall...

Dude, calm down and take a breath.

This is an opportunity for you to do something good for someone that needs a cure for a disease. It could be you or a loved one in the future, you never know.

Read this page:

http://folding.stanford.edu/

If it interests you then download the proper client that applies to your hardware. If you dont know then list your hardware config and someone here can tell you what to install:

Follow the directions recently posted by mousemonkey to join after you install the proper client...

yes i agree i think they should make an article about it or something...i think this community has the power to make it to the top 20 if we all pitch in!

Mine's an XFX 4870. My second. It's my first half decent gaming rig, so I don't know much about XFX. Is it good? I took it as it was the only brand I could find in the shops. Few people buy ATI in Calcutta- everyone has a sort of complex about Intel and nVidia. My previous rig (if you can call it that) was a P4 Northwood, 2.0GHz, 256 DDR1 206MHz, GeForce 5500 256 MB. I strongly suspect Crysis killed off the first 4870. Lasted 30 minutes without problems- then it would lock up the second it hit 86. This one goes past 95 with no stability problems (in Crysis. Hits 81 in everything else). And no, this is not a temperature issue. Ambient is ~40 Celsius.

Might be worthwhile to go with gpu folding for you. Just take a look at your gpu temps from time to time, just to be sure.

Also I have read before (forgot the site) that shows how to tweak the ati gpu client to minimize the cpu usage.

Check the fifth post in this thread

ATI Folders- Want to drastically reduce your CPU load?

I checked the link. Went above and beyond my head.
Currently CPU usage is at 33 %- I'll just stick to that.

Way to go... Good work.

 

[SHANEMARINES]

Yes I'm getting there now.

My first screenshot 4% now look at this one just in an hour!

Would toms hardware get mad at me if i made the signature line axlink to this thread?

 

[SHANEMARINES]

50% now at:

Thanks for having me do this people at TomsHardware!

 

[SHANEMARINES]

I'm also doing my CPU.

Nope, go ahead.

OH...

Sorry I was just new to this so I guess I was watching what it was doing lol, even though I have no idea.

I know what its for though and that makes me HAPPY!
