I just checked.. 1201, we have to better that position and that position has 40 million points... so with everyone we'll be there in less than 30 days. Vin Good to know. Oh, HFM(dot)net isn't required to get max points when folding, I just use it because it provides a more accurate picture of your PPD - assuming you remember to update it's database from Stanford every now and then, that is. That and it's useful if you happen to be running Folding@Home on multiple computers, you can monitor them all from one computer.

Most excellent. Thanks WhiteWulfe! No worries at all. Kind of eery looking back, comparing the 2080 Ti's (which can do, uhm, a lot of PPD) to the old Athlon XP's, where we were happy with 50 PPD on a good day, eh?

Lol. I wasn't folding on socket 462. I started on s939 myself. maybe some 150 ppd lol.

I decided to try it anyway (Again). I know I can't run it 24/7 but if I can contribute I will and currently have this going on. Looks to be a decent to good project it gave me too. Using the MSI GTX560-448 I had bought long ago (Dec 2011) for folding so the card is one again serving the original intended purpse it was bought for.
I'll even say folding is what I used to "Burn" the card in when I got it. It currently has a mild/moderate OC going and working on the project. Also can't say if I can keep going after this or if I'll have to stop again but at least short-term I can help.
So, I'll let it run for awhile and see what happens.
EDIT: After looking through what you guys are capable of doing, what I have isn't even worth worrying with yet I'll let it get this one done at least.

Definitely good program for a burn in. Do what you can or like. No different than anything else. At your leisure.

Had to stop - Said someting wasn't right so if I'm going to do this I'll need something better for a GPU for it to even be worth the time and electricity to do. My 380X is the best card I have but it won't fit into the system because the body of it interferes with the Susanoo cooler. I will probrably see what's out there with a better chance of scoring before I resume anything.
I'm also aware if you have bad units being sent back too often you'll get flagged so not wanting that to happen.

Use the browser app with a high thread count cpu. My 16 threads completes work unit in 5 minutes. Thats why you see I have a decent stack of units. Quick and easy. Scores decently also.

I don't have a CPU like that but can try and see what this one does (7700K). At least the cooler for it is is up to task. ATM just weighing options over it.
EDIT: Letting it do some units with the CPU, that seems to be working fine for now. I'll let it run for awhile and throw some points to the team, it's already contributed a tad of points as is.
One more thing is if I place the 380X in I'll have to swap coolers. I did attempt to start off with Linux but coudn't get it to work.

Whoooo, I'm (momentarily) on top for points for the team! I say momentarily, because once others validate their PassKey (which probably won't take that long in the grand scheme of things) a 1080 Ti is going to beat a 980 Ti hands down for PPD. Also, it looks like it isn't going to take too too long for the team to get onto the ExtremeOverclocking FAH list, since it's only another 1.2 million credits to get to that 6k placing ^_^

odd, doesn't look like the PPD that the app is telling me is what I'm getting... huh... Vin The program doesn't know that the passkey hasn't had the initial ten successful work units completed, so it will report with QRB included if a passkey is in the configuration. Once those initial ten are done with a passkey, client and server should match for credit production. Hence why my playful "I'm going to enjoy this while it lasts for maybe another day, and then Vinster passes me" kind of statement. Apologies for not mentioning that there will be a mis-match for a day or two between client and server. While I'm at it, CPU and GPU work qualifies towards completed work units for a passkey, assuming it's done in client (Chrome work units do not count towards passkeys, as they removed the ability to have a passkey attached to the browser) A couple other tips that come to mind when running GPU and CPU: - Each GPU will claim it's own thread to keep it fed. - The client will default to a setting of "-1" for CPU. While this is useful (since it just goes with the max threads available for your CPU), it can also cause errors, especially if you're running the GPU as well. Manually setting this to somewhat lower than max threads (say, setting it to "6" instead of "-1" if you're using a 4770k and GTX 980 Ti) will not only keep the GPU well fed, but also allow the computer to be usable AND doesn't cause the "you're running an odd amount of threads" issues. - Running an odd number of threads on a CPU (say, 5 or 7 as an example) will almost always cause the work unit to error out. - You can manually control the CPU's heat by reducing the amount of threads Folding@Home is allowed to use concurrently. Example: Running 4 threads on a 4770k will produce less heat than 6 threads would, but such doesn't produce as much PPD (points per day)

Thanks for the info, I'm running 2 threads on the CPU, I didn't like the temps when running more.

After a bunch of messing around, I finally got the r9-290x running... man AMD have screwed up the drivers... too a few revs to find one that works... 300-350k PPD from the AMD beast...
so once the passkey bit kicks in, I'm good for 1-1.4 Million PPD

Yep, totally cranking out work units!! You fellas put the hammer down hard!! Damn!!
That Passkey deal.... I never knew it would bring such good returns. In all the years, I've never read that anywhere. I thought it was for security. I was aware of Big ADV projects (ADV? is that right?) making some super good points but back some years ago it would take a great deal of time to complete.
Thanks for joining the Folding Team fellas!! I think we can really stand out at some point in the near future!!

My 0.02 cents: You guys are the epitome of team support.....in all aspects. I do not believe in folding but that doesn't mean I don't believe in supporting your teammates that do. And to you couple guys that now fold for Team W9 but are not members of Team W9 benching, tell me again why you are not on our benching team? lol Seems contradictory to me somehow.

Thanks for joining the Folding Team fellas!! I think we can really stand out at some point in the near future!! Yeah, BigADV was something that was a minimum of 12 or 16 cores, but there was a workaround that worked for quite some time... Stanford killed it off several years ago after the massive protest from the community when it was bumped up to something like 24 being required... And this was from a lot of volunteers who had put a LOT of cash into hardware specifically to run such, and crunch the work units. A small portion of them switched over to BOINC, while most of them just said screw distributed computing, sold the hardware (usually at a decent loss), and then moved on. I only knew about passkeys because they were mandatory for running in the Folding@Home Team Competitions over on OCN. They really need a better name for them, and of course, advertise a lot better about QRB. Got a passkey in my chrome browser. The ability is there.... Hmmm... Good to know. Biggest question though is are you getting QRB or not from them. I'd heard they disabled quick return bonus for the Chrome work units a while back? at this rate, we'll be at 6 mil in under 2 days... Wulfe is pumping it out... mine seems to have stalled... I'll catch up... Vin Well... I haven't quite been pumping it out for too too long... And have been offline for like 2.5 hours now. Something about benching, BOINCing, and running Folding@Home all on the same breaker sounds like a bad combo. My 0.02 cents: You guys are the epitome of team support.....in all aspects. I do not believe in folding but that doesn't mean I don't believe in supporting your teammates that do. And to you couple guys that now fold for Team W9 but are not members of Team W9 benching, tell me again why you are not on our benching team? lol Seems contradictory to me somehow. Hmmm, tongue in cheek answers... - Because you aren't OCN - Because I like supporting the little guy - Because I like helping people out in general, doubly so with BOINC and/or Folding@Home stuff - Because I haven't hit that goal yet, but I am kind of hoping it happens this weekend, since I'm kiiiind of plugged the rig back in after a few months of not benching ^_^;;; That and I had to find the darn power cord, and where I hid it. Got plenty of 6' ATX cables, but just the one 10' with an angled plugin, and I need that ten foot cable to actually plug my benching rig in And yes, for fun, I'll be subbing some of the E7300 results I do this weekend to Country Cup, because whyyyyy nawwwwwwwt. Mwa ha ha, if you've ever watched the show, now that little bugger's cry is stuck in your head, mwaa ha ha ha ha ha ha!

WhiteWulfe has a reserved spot here. No worries. XD Yeah, I really really really do want that 3k Team Power Points, just... Because. No real reason as to why I did it (aka I don't remember), but I suspect it was because I was close anyways, and still contemplating a lot of things back then. ^_^

Well I don't really know where to start in the F@H forums on this topic, but their Faq says nothing about getting points with a passkey. foldingathome.org/support/faq/points/passkey/I'll search the forums and try to answer your question later.

I could have sworn that either QRB was removed from the NaCL client, or they reduced the points. One of the two. For a while there, it actually produced higher PPD on a CPU than the dedicated client did!

Not sure. I've put in a passkey and just let it run. Since I've mixed in a couple of GPU work units, I cannot say if the Cpu is getting higher PPD from it. No idea.
