Fold-a-thon Number 4 next Monday-Wednesday!

[jimh425]

This is a heads up for Fold-a-thon Number 4. Time for you to fire up something extra if you aren't fullly committed, or time to try it if you haven't yet.

Starts at Midnight Sunday night May 13 and ends Wednesday May 16 at Midnight.

If you only want to complete one unit, be sure to use the -oneunit argument.

Maybe I'll get up the guts to try folding on my laptop again...

and you just passed me... grats!

[jimh425]

Thanks.

FWIW, my i3 laptop folded ok. I just made sure it was on a hard surface so the vents wouldn't close up. I may try to start up a few more machines if I can get my wireless working on the 4Ps and moved to other rooms, so I have enough power.

started up on my 2700K at stock. Need to figure out how to get more umpf out of it.

I had mine folding before. It folded fine... until the screen corrupted, and then windows wouldn't boot.

What happened is apparently the graphics card driver crashed or something, and windows was already corrupted from a failed windows update. It was just a not-fun sequence of events. I'm just nervous about putting it under the stress of folding.

You could install virtual box and limit the amount of cpu that it can use and install ubuntu in that vm. That barely uses the graphic card unless you turn the graphic capabilities up for the vm. If it works ok, turn up the processing or down if it is getting hot.

[Maniac]

Yeah, but since it's the GPU that's glitching, I'm not sure that would help me much. Temps were OK for both the card and the CPU.

aight, upped the system to 4ghz. we'll see how she handles it.

1.356v for 40x100 is cool, right? maxes while folding ~75

[GuitarFreak]

I'll fire up the desktop and laptop again. Hopefully, the CPU will do alright at 4.2GHz at lower voltage.

75C? hotttt imo

[DrGuns4Hands]

My CPU is underclocked atm for Bitcoin mining rig efficiency but I'll throw in for the fold-a-thon

[jimh425]

Reminder: start time is tonight at midnight!

[runlinux]

stock volts, 4ghz now ~64c. making some sweet points now.

[jimh425]

If you haven't started, you're late.

I lost some PPD from stability problems on the bigger WUs so I backed my clocks down for now and will do more tweeking after the fold-a-thon is over. No games for the week either,

[runlinux]

getting screwed on some larger WU's right now, but eh, its working away.
