Team Oppositelock Needs Your GPUs

We began on Easter Sunday, 8 days ago, and we will hit 100 million points by bedtime tonight. Team Oppo is killing it.

What is folding? Distributed computing. Researchers working to understand Parkinson’s disease, COVID-19, and other diseases take a humongous, super computer-sized computational model, slice it up, and send it out to computers all over the Internet. Will you join us?

Download the F@h app at www.foldingathome.org.

Oppo peeps who are knowledgeable about this are jminer, JMKarstetter, and facw. The top folding assassin, by a million points, is Eury. Shoot any of them a reply.

When I get my office set up, I will put my desktop back together and join in. That would be done by now, but I’m spending all day every day at school, 3D printing masks.

If anybody wants to donate a 1080ti I promise to fold and certainly not use it to play minesweeper in 4K 120fps

We will welcome you. Do you have one of the newer GPUs? Those things will run at 400k to 500k points per day.

Cool on your for printing those masks. For my part, I am sewing masks. Do you need any for your family?

I left my computer on while I was at work, only got 2 GPU WU all damn day.

Mine, too. 500,000 points per day! That’s my very own oppoflop every two days!

my new 2080ti will be here tomorrow. I’m pairing it with my 5.0ghz 7700k.

Is there a way to throttle or limit cpu/gpu usage to keep everything from hitting 100% load?

Last time I was folding was back in the hardocp days with an 8800gtx.

376k and growing from Team Ttyymmnn! I do need to talk to you about something related to this tonight.

Pew. I’ve been lucky in that regard. So far, my rusty, corroded GPU has been gainfully employed.

Throttle... There is a means of throttling it back, but it never occurred to me to do so. Throw jminer a reply and ask him about that. He’s a big crypto miner and has a farm of machines folding right now.

I have an i7 processor, but my computer is something like 7 or 8 years old. I really don’t know much about computers.

Actually, that would be greatly appreciated. Mine is falling apart already.

Well I was thinking of getting my Asus ROG tower out of the box and start switching my life over to it. So maybe soon I can run a couple PCs.

That’s the spirit! Name the new one the same as the current one and the points will bank under the same donor name.

I will take a look at this stuff when I get it out of storage , I have no idea what I’m doing.

I'm the only one who has been going to stores, but if I could get one for my dad, that would be awesome. He's 67, has emphysema, and won't stop going into public places.

I noticed my previous folding , over a decade ago, was under team [H ]ardOCP and I think I was running two 8800GTs in SLI ...blast from the past there.

You’re keeping that pile? No forced return to the eBay seller?

There is a slider in the GUI you can set to medium to dial it back , you can also adjust your CPU slot to only use a specified amount of threads. My 12 thread ryzen is set to run on 9.

I'm folding with it for the moment. I just got a GTX 580 in the mail which I might use instead if this one goes back. One of the ops told me that 580 will will fold faster than the 1060.

Be sure to use this site to check as well, it will show the top 20 user credit gains, it’s only update daily I believe.

Nice, it makes sense to use it, while you have it...haha

I’m in the process of looking for a new card to replace my 780 ti

Settings are outlined here: https://foldingathome.org/faqs/fah-v7/v7-introduction/web-control/folding-power-slider/ . Works the same in the Advanced Control view, which is a Windows-native UI for the same stuff.

What is your budget? jminer would be able to give you a solid recommendation.

PyroHoltz f@h Oppo 261120 > Rusty Vandura - www.tinyurl.com/keepoppo
04/21/2020 at 01:04

Yeah, I imagine jminer knows his stuff.

I know roughly what I want, it’s a matter of finding the seller willing to part with there goods, for what I can offer.

I have my eye on either a 980 ti, 1070 ti or GTX 1080....what I’d love is a 2060 super or vanilla 2070 but there are too many other critical items in the finances to justify the added cost.

The car that j Minor earlier said was the most efficient cost about $290.

I’ll start on them today. I may not get them out until tomorrow’s mail, as each one takes me about half an hour to create.

those were the days! I had an x2 opteron that overclocked from 1.8 to 3.0ghz on air. Then the core 2's came out and I was done with amd for a while. 8800gt was such a great card at an attainable price .

Hardocp and dfi lanparty boards take me back to a time when pc’s were magical and you were a damn wizard for overclocking with just the fsb!

This is all so true.

My older bother got me into overclocking in the late 90s when he purchased a dual socket abit BP6 motherboard and two Celeron CPUs that overlooked from 3 00mhz to something like 60 0mhz each, what a m onster setup for the day.

Kinja'd!!!

Crazy times.

I first learned how to solder by replacing bursting caps on a board just like that! Blast from the past for sure.
