DS, I'm pretty sure this is your field of expertise Smile

For Folding@Home, it's really just a way to help out the scientific community, especially with a DS rig, right? Or does it have any other benefits? I'm running FAH GPU version right now to see how it works and looks like, anything I should know? Their guides have stated that it's not a start and forget thing, so I'm assuming I have to do something to it eventually....Cry


System Specs are beeelowwww

Folding is a worldwide distributed computing effort conducted by Stanford University to understand how proteins assemble themselves. The real world applications of this research includes potential cures for diseases such as Alzheimer's, cancer, and Parkinson's. Nearly everyone's life has been touched by someone who has had one of these diseases or one of the many other diseases this research is aiming to cure. For more information, please see Stanford's Folding@Home website.

so that is what its for. there isn't really anything you need to know unless you have problem running a client, being regular one, smp or gpu.

yes the gpu client will put the gpu to work and the smp client will put the cpu to work, but I only fold with them, and monitor temps to make sure they don't go above what they should, some of my pcs have 9800x2 on them and their temps are like 90c 24/7
