Folding@Home: THGC Needs You -Team 40051

[Cunninglinguist]

I just wanted to say Great Job to everyone. The THGC folding team is showing signs of life again. Our 24 hr point ave. is up nearly 20k and new members appear to be on the rise. Thanks to everyone who contributes.

THG has been a great source of knowledge to me over the years. Their news and reviews continue to be on point. I know that there are a lot of great reasons to fold, but keeping my favorite site competitive in the top 100 motivates me.

Foldaholism is not fatal. It cures cancer.

Keep up the great work!

:lol:

So true.

Foldaholism is not fatal.

Although the electricity bill for using Quad Sli'd GTX480's could well cause a coronary.

Ya I had to stop for almost 2 years (stayed in the top 100 amazingly) as my electric bill was killing me. I was running a Pentium D machine with 3 clients- 1 for each core and 1 for the gpu. My bill dropped dramatically.

Now I fold often but not 24/7 and sometimes I even shut the machine down for a day or 2.

BTW- I love the quote" Foldaholism is not fatal. It cures cancer. "

PS- I think although my work units are increasing my ranking is dropping I imagine bc I have an old laptop now running FAH 24/7 and only run the gpu/cpu desktop a few days a week. Does that sound right? I don't really care though I do remember being very happy at one point when I reached 52 I think.

I'm not sure how the points for WU's are allocated but it seems that the GPU clients score higher because despite leaving the CPU one running all the time my score really shoots up when the GPU client has been running for only a few hours, it's a shame I can't leave that one on all the time but it messes up the TV as it only a 9500GT and 32 cores are just not enough to do two things at once.

 

[Mousemonkey]

What are you using CPU, GPU or both?

 

[warmon6]

Hey, I'm our forth biggest producer. How'd that happen.

well. i got a guess. you folded a lot. :lol:

 

[smithereen]

No, I have the fourth most PPD, not the fourth most points. I'm using my CPU and GPU, and another Athlon II X4 2.6GHZ machine with a 8800GT.

Sorry everyone on the F@H forum I won't be around for 12weeks do to BootCamp. So my brother will be using my computer and I'm not sure if he will be F@H for me.

[bholland2]

I want to be a F@H King lol. . .

What must I do?

A: Spend a lot of money

B: Pray

C: Use GPU pr CPU

Disclaimer: I'm sorry, but don't take this post to heart!

FYI: I'm F@H right now 10:00PM Boise ID and going to keep it running till 11:00AM!

Just noticed this one...
The correct answer is D, All of the above :lol:

 

[SHANEMARINES]

I really like how nice the people are here and how real all of your are. I know it will be longer then 12 weeks and I'll be lucky if I get out of there in 14, but I will try my hardest! For the next question I will be in San Diego, CA and I guess they say thats where the men join, but all I know is I'm scared and excited as hell!

lol. . . *Agreed*

 

[shovenose]

Omg i managed tokill one of my computers. It was a small form factor p4 2.2ghz hp compaq that i left on over night at work running f@h. Ive besn doing this for a few days now but i guess it is no more. I got there in the mornijg, and saw that the screen was scrambled. It must have overheated seeing that the psu fan ( theonlynexhaust fan in thebsystem got stuck. Lol i guess this needs an equation: f@h + shitty pc = fail

 

[smithereen]

Dude, that sucks. It's probably not F@H's fault though - if your PSU fan jammed, it probably would have gone down anyways. Maybe only your PSU is fried?

 

[shovenose]

no the fan was working well when i left-i checked. i think the whole thing just overheated, becsause of all the hot air left in it when i touched the case in the morning it was very warm, versus it being nearky room temp usually. im not gonna bother replacing any parts
, i just took it, and threw into the crap bin...512mb ram, 20gb hdd, 2.2ghz p4...why would i want to keep it. anyway, i wouldnt be able to trust the parts anymore because they proble all gotr way too hot!

 

[SHANEMARINES]

I'll be back to Folding in around 12 weeks!

 

[shovenose]

Come back soon please.

 

[mindless728]

well, im done folding until the GPU3 client since i can do more work with my 4870's on milkyway@home and collatz@home (part of BOINC)

 

[omaudio]
