Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. Why? I'm pretty sure he folds 24/7 or close to it
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. It's really good to fold 24/7. I just calculated what my points would be if I folded 24/7 and it would be about that for the same amount of time. We must have pretty similar specs. Cause my CPU (i7 870) gets about 1.2 WU's a day, they hd 7770 gets about 2.4, so in 3 weeks I would get about 75 WU's, sadly my pc overheats.
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. I know this is a stupid question but, what is this that you guys are doing?
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. I'm really not good at answering this, but here goes. Stanford college is doing medical research on cancer, alzheimer's and other diseases. But, instead of working on it with a super computer, they send out the work to computers around the world, resulting in a much more powerful compute network. Feel free to ask anymore questions!
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. Thank you for the answer, how do you help them? What do you do?
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. You download the folding@home client and process work units for them and send them back. WARNING: It will work your pc harder than it has ever been worked before. It will heat up, and it will be loud, and if you have a cheap PSU it will mess stuff up. But if it's a well built pc it'll help solve cancer and stuff!
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. Both. It will also use multiple CPU's in a multiple CPU setup. And it can use more than 4 GPUs.
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. It did mine, I need a new cooler. :I And I like your location. It's funny because I'm tall, but I know a lot of short people that would have that sense of humor.
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. Off-topic: Only 4' 7" here. But I am your age, anyway. I can fit under this door, also. On-topic: My CPU is folding as of now, and running at 75 degrees C, with my CPU fan going at 3223 RPM.
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. 1. How do you know how old I am? 1.5. 6'0" 2. Mine runs at 77C With my CPU fan (80mm) at 4500rpm. Loud as heck.
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. Pff, mid-high 70's. I'm at 65 on my hottest core while at 4.8GHz. :F
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. You're on a h100i. I'm on a stock cooler in a OEM mATX case. Good luck with finding me a quiet cooler that can cool my i7 870 @ 4.8! Thank you!
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. I using an Akasa Venom 4002HP-CCX(full size, something something), doesn't reach 50C with my 4.2ghz OC
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. (Also posted on ROR's computer HW megathread) Today I folded for the first time in a week or so. I had left for 12 hours whilst folding, bad mistake. It went UPLS mode and the fans turned off, the only think keeping it from a 105c death, the thermal throttling. Luckily, it worked and it maxed at 93C. Hm. Now max load is 45c, I love this card.
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. Idea! Get a H100i and mount it, but putting the rad outside of your case, on a stand of sorts, like an open test bench. Kind of like this:
Re: Folding @ Home, Seti @ Home and other DC projects. That was GPU, sorry 'bout that. Been looking at that though, but other things fill my budget. Like a hd 7870 for $200 and used 1080p + screen for $70 for my new house. Anyone got a screen? USD by the way.
