Decided to give folding a try, wanted to see how my system did. Also it gives me a reason to finish watercooling my gaming rig.

Hey guys, I just started folding as well. Brazen told me of this noble project and I wanna give it a try. I can't promise that I'll be folding 24/7, but a couple of times a day shouldn't be all that difficult. I'm folding with an 580GTX SSC SLI setup.
 
Now, this is where it becomes interesting. I could fold with my GTX295 just fine, but since I switched I cannot start the folding process. My stats are frozen on "Name: User-123", "Team: Team-456" and so on. The error(log) keeps re-downloading a FAH core and that's about it.

Welcome to the team!
Which client are you using? The one you can download here at EVGA or the one you prolly had on your 295 doesn´t work with the 400/500 series cards
You´ll need this one
http://www.stanford.edu/~...g@home-systray-632.msi
or for ease of setup you can try jedis tracker

Jedi's tracker is easiest. And now you have to switch to nVidia Fermi.

just started folding again :D with my 570 already to 173,000 to bad I have to RMA it :*(

Hey, welcome! 
 
Shame about the card. 
 
EDIT: Since it seems it's working, can't you RMA it after you reach 250K?

I don't really care about the EVGA bucks if that's what you mean, I just like folding :D Anyway I am RMAing 'cause of a really annoying whine so I don't like running it 'cause my head hurts if I can hear it :(

Oooh, I'd be scared of that. I mean, if it's the fan, it might just go *boom*. 

I've become a little peeved with how Kyle Bennett treats his forum users and decided to jump ship from Team [H] to Team EVGA.
Currently rocking FAH GPU Tracker V2, folding on a GTX460, i5 750, and X4 460.  Might also be throwing an 8800GT into the mix.

Welcome to Team EVGA FTW! 
 
I'm sure you'll find this to be a great home for you. 

5 days of intense folding and 100k broken :)
 
Sorry, I didnt want to open new thread just for that.

welcome all, this is a great place to fold :D

I was folding a little while back, but just got this rig setup, running the smp on my i7 870, and running on my gtx460 (soon to be a gtx560)

Haven't seen you around in a while, Welcome back!

Hi, i'm new to the EVGA Folder group.

Thanks buddy, been around just busy

Welcome to the team! And glad to have you back!

This is a cool thread Zerran thank you for everything you do here!

Not really new but, finally able to fold again.

Folded a whopping 36K in 2010. Started up again recently. The budget is tight so I can't fold constantly but I'm committed to 100K a month minimum which is about $10 of electricity more a month. Once cash flow improves I want to build a dedicated rig.
 
With SMP + 580 + 430 running +bigadv I'm pulling down about 38K PPD. If I run without +bigadv it drops to about 31K. Not huge, but every little bit helps!
 
Anyway, I figured I ought to formally say hey to the rest of the group since I mainly lurk in the 500 series / P55 series forums.

Welcome back guys!! Everything helps!

Was going through the evga site and came across the folding section. I don't know much about folding. Saw that it helps with finding solutions for cancer so I downloaded it and started folding. I will read the forum and find out if I can do anything more. Any advice you can give me will help.
 
Thanks,

Hi i just started this morning with the FAH gpu tracker
i selected EVGA and got a passkey
do i need to do anything else?

Welcome to the team both of you!!
 
First... Please list the specs of what you guys are folding with. That way we can tell you the best clients for your machines.
Second...Are you going to be folding 24/7 or just once in a while? This will also help us determine which client you should use.
The easiest program to use is GPU tracker I can be found here
Make sure you have your folding name in the middle column at the bottom here That will entitle you to EVGA Bucks
If you are folding on your CPU make sure you get a passkey from Stanford here You have to do 10 smp clients before you can get the bonus points.
 
Again, welcome to the team!

i have an intel core i7 950 @ ~ 3.3 ghz
and an evga gtx 480 stock

Thats a nice set up. Get your passkey and do 10 SMP clients, once you finish them (should only take a few days) then enable the bigadv box in GPU tracker and wait for the big points to roll in. The bigadv's take about 2-21/2 days to finish depending on which one you get. Thats folding 24/7.
 
Oh, you may want to try to bump the OC on your CPU to 3.8. That will help out a bunch.

how can i get an eoc id

how can i get an eoc id

In this link look on the lest side column see where it says user and under it, it has my number?
Now search for your folding name, once you find it look in the same place my number was and thats yours.
I tried to search for Gryphon but you didn't show up. Thats because you are either folding under a diff name or Stanford hasn't gotten you in the system yet.

Is that EOC id necessary thing?
 
BTW, just got my first SMP bonuses and also break 300k :)
