Ever think your cooling is 24/7 stable..... Here's a good way to put it to the test!

Why not test those temps 24/7 and help cancer research at the same time? Yes I am speaking of Folding@Home, and Team 32 needs your help. If set up properly, it will keep your CPU at 100% usage, as long as it is running. It will also run at an idle priority, giving back those CPU cycles as you need them.

What is Folding@Home

FAH is a distributed computing project, the purpose of which is to learn how proteins fold and misfold. By breaking down the process by which proteins are created we can find out what causes them to miscreate or misfold. The hope is that this will lead to future research that can help scientists come up with better treatments/cures for many of todays common ailments. But the most important part of the project is putting together an effective model of how to fold and unfold proteins with supercomputer power.

This is an extremely complicated process that requires awesome amounts of computing power that was virtually unattainable prior to the start of this project. This project harnesses the power of thousands of individual PC's connected to the internet by breaking down the necessary work and allowing those individual computers to work on small pieces of information and then returning the calculated results to stanford university. Once the work is done and returned your computer will automatically get fresh data to calculate. The work is then piece back together at Stanford university. There are results and more information posted on the Folding@Home website at http://folding.stanford.edu/

We are the Number 3 team in the world right now, and well on our way to Number 2. But we also have a threat from Maximum PC Magazine.

To fold for Team 32. Not only will you be helping a very noble cause, but also making absolutely those temps are as stable as you think they are, and helping us, Overclockers.com Folding Team take the Number 1 spot in the world.

For more information, you can visit us here, at the Folding Team Sub Forum, or at the Team 32 Website. There is also this page, which is directly from Stanford University, who runs the folding program.

And by the way, free and for all those who join. Come join us, even if only for a look into what it's all about.

I'm planning on signing up for Folding@Home within this next week, but I thought that you would find this interesting.

I'd like to see more research go into this but there is no money in it for large drug companies, they cannot patent something that has been on the market for as long as this has, so it's unlikely that it will be pursued outside of university studies.

I think I have read something about this a while back. Of course a breakthrough like this could not be possible without knowing how those particular proteins fold or misfold. I would really like to think that it is because of the efforts of all of the folding teams out there that give people the opportunity to try out things like this.

I fold!!! 129WUs and counting.

bumpio!!!!!

Bump again, I fold as well.

It's probably the most useful stress test you will ever come across. My processor is maxed out 100% on both threads every second my computer is running. And I don't notice any difference in speed!

Maybe I have it set up wrong or something, but I sit at about 30% CPU usage. Anyone suggest some settings?

I would recommend going here, and posting a new thread. Also, make sure to put a copy of the log file in the FAH folder in code tags, like this: [ code]Copy and paste the log file here[/code ] without the spaces between the brackets. Another thing that may be helpful in finding the source of your problem would also be to post the client.cfg file the same way. We will be more than happy to help you get it set up properly. to Team 32.

While I can understand your enthusiasm, I won't allow any of our teams, be it Folding, Seti or the 3DMark team to spam up all the forums with recruitment threads. You F@H people already have a recruitment thread right here in the O/C Community Forum, which is plenty. The last post in it was like 2005, so you just mi8ght try updating in that thread instead of spamming up the Cooling forum!

Don't do this again!!
