New folder, used to do it all the time on my PS3 when those first came out. Trying to get back into it all.

This seems like an unpopular thread but I'm new and I'd appreciate some help. I'm currently running a i7 920 with a GTX 260 core 216. Do I need to run two separate clients for a CPU and a GPU? I saw the beginner's guide but to be honest, I didn't quite understand.

Welcome to the team 

The easiest way to get started would be to download the GPU Tracker V2. This program will manage both your SMP and GPU clients in one simple package. You can follow this step by step guide to step up the tracker so you start folding in no time.  
 
Since you have an i7 and will be more than likley be using the multi-core SMP client (you'll see that mentioned in the guide), you'll want to head over to Standford's site to get your self a passkey. The passkey allows you receive bonus points for the SMP work units. Here is a a FAQ about the passkey, and here is the site where you can sing up to get your key. Please note that you'll have to complete 10 work units before you start to receive a bonus. After that, the faster you are able to complete SMP work units, the higher the bonus you'll receive. 
 
If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to ask. There a lot of knowledgeable and helpful people on this team. 

The easiest way ti get folding is to download tracker here. It's a very simple program to use. Then you go to the setup tab once installed in the top left corner, then configure, if you want to fold gpu only click on enable gpu on the right side and then click on auto detect and your good to go. If you would like to fold on the cpu as well check the enable cpu folding on the left side, you'll want to use the smp client, if your processor is overclocked to 3.8ghz or higher you can fold the bigadv units which are worth a lot more points but take a lot longer to do, don't do them if your not going to fold 24/7. If you fold smp you will also need a pass key to get bonus points you can get it here. It will take 10 work units before the bonus points kick in. Also to get folding bucks from evga your folding name needs to match your forum name. And you have to enter it in your forum profile settings page. I hope this helps don't hesitate to ask if you have more questions.

That's why I love this team...so many people always willing to help 

Thanks for the help. That program seems to be more intuitive and easier to use. Is there anyway for me to see if the SMP bonus is in effect or will I just notice my numbers increasing? 

You can keep an eye on your client stats in the stats tab, and that way you'll know when the 10 wu's are done. I'm not 100% sure but if you enter a pass key tracker may show you getting the bonus points but when you check your stats on EOC or on the F @ H site you won't be getting as high of points as tracker shows.

I just got my fold on.

Welcome to the team!!!

Hey Gang,
I just started folding and must agree that it really is addicting!
Looking forwarding to folding with you all, seems you have a pretty cool team going!

I've been folding for a few years, but didn't really think there was a evga community for it. I'm glad to be here! Gonna be sli gtx 470 and i5 2500K folding soon :D

Welcome aboard guys 
 
If you any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to ask. 

Thanks Kody!

Just decided to change my machines over to EVGA Team and take advantage of the EVGA bucks and to be a part of a much more active forum reguarding folding . I have been folding for a number of years but only got back into it within the last few months with a friend of mine. Folding with the hardware in my sig(hope it works) and also have another 4 or 5 PC's running around the world as well. hehe.
 
Look forward to moving our way up the team list and getting into some friendly competition. See you around. =)

Welcome all!
Were glad to have you on board. Please let us know if any of you have questions. Some of the guys that have been folding before, give us a shout if you are interested in some of the new programs and work units out there.

I'm wondering when will my team number change in the sig? I have my main rig to change to EVGA but the rest are already under 111065.

What folding name will you be using?
The EVGA forum name and F@H name need to be the same to take advantage of the EVGA bucks. 
 
http://www.evga.com/folding/MyFolding.asp

My EVGA Folding name is Synthetik--Prime and my folding name is the same, but my Forum name is BEEAH. Do I need to change that still? Under the profile setup it is asking for the Folding Name and it does say Synthetik--Prime.
 
 

Yeah, Shane will need to help ya.

Welcome to the team Jmrios. 

Here is your number if you didnt know. 

Thanks, I didn't know my number ,  since I started today, I expect that my points should update in a few days, right?
My main reason to fold is that I have a mainstream pc, built to gaming, but between work and my personal life I can't use my pc the way I would want to, so this cause convinced me to put my hardware to work..

Under myprofile (under member home above)  input your folding name and should take 24 hrs to show up on EVGA.

Well using for folding is sure putting it to good use. Welcome to the team!

Hey, I've started folding today with 4 systray clients on my 2600k. I'm glad to join the team and I would like to know what would be the best way to utilize my GTX570 SC.
