Hey Heimie, glad you are back!

do we know when the challenge takes place? the date it starts??
too bad i dont have my new PSU yet...i cannot OC my old cpu ...
its a dual core 1.86 ghz...i had it OCed to 2.8...
but now i have a new Radeon HD 5870 OCed...and the PSU cannot handle them both at full load hehe:)
im trying to help out i hope im making good progress...
 

I figure I'll go ahead and toss in my computer for this. I have a 4.3ghz i7 920 and 2 GTX 295s. I can basically just follow the guides on here right? The one for multi GPUs and then multi core CPUs? Probably do that this week. 

What exactly will I need to do to be contributing to the EVGApes when this comes along?

Let just get this straight, if I wanna keep it simple and fold for you guys can I just just my username in the client to EVGApes and just continue to fold like I normally do? And it starts May 5th right?

Yes sir, On gpus you only need to change the username.If you have a big adv or adv method smp client you would need the passkey.

But simple= just switch the gpu clients username.


We would really appreciate any help you can offer.

Yeah no prob guys! I'd love to help us out! I can do about 14k PPD on two GTX 260's I dont think I can get the third folding though. Gives me trouble

You need to at least change the username and restart the client. If you don't restart it, it will not pick up on the change.

If you are doing either -advmethods or -bigadv and would like to continue to do so for the CC, you need to also change the passkey to one for EVGApes that has been set up.

Yes, it starts on May 5 at noon PT. It should only last up to 5 days at most.

If you are worried about not making your monthly points for EVGA Bucks, Shane has already posted that he will make exceptions for those who have been meeting their target and miss May because of folding in the CC.

anyone know if the folding client for the 480's will be out by then?

I just had an Idea that struck me. I go to college at Ranken Technical College in St. Louis. Last semester we built about 50 or so machines  that were brand new. ALL of them have Core i7 920's and single GTX 260's. I am sure that I can convince the department head to go for the CC on ALL of the machines, if he thought that would get the school name out there a little more.

On top of that we have about 20 more machines that could be put together for the hardware class, that would have machines with anything from a C2D to a 920 i7, and as little as 9600's up to dual 4870X2's, or even triple gtx 285's.

Ill talk to him tomorrow. Perhaps we can even get the whole school in on it, not just the it department. How about 200 Quad cores and about 400 dual cores getting in on the action. Other than the It department, there arent really any gpu clients, but wow that would be some points per day

Good Lord!  With that horsepower you could almost with the CC by yourself.

Yes, if you can get their approval we would much welcome your contribution for the CC and afterward our team.

Although, if you want recognition the best way would be to just start a new team under your college name.  You won't get AS much recognition as a folder under our team. 

LOL!  Yes, of course.  Fold for us during the CC then decide on the recognition.  Hahaha, I'm just playing dan!!!

If you talk to him, Tell him about the science behind it.And it's helping out stanford try to find cures.I'm sure if they decided to fold on all that power.I bet stanford would probably mention something about that university.I Live in Illinois and i would be happy to come help set everything up  if need be to get them started or whatever.


Please let us know how that goes.

Well of course, Sorry that I was logged in under dans name, he was having trouble and used my machine, guess that he never logged out LOL. Anyway I think that was a really good Idea, the only issue that I for see is that they may only be able to fold at night, with class during that day and all. But yeah definitly gonna talk to him tomorrow.

Ill tell you what, I can get the single GPU and Single thread CPU ones up, but I might have to take you up on your offer when it comes to the multi thread/card systems. Of course this is all wishful thinking right now as I haven't even talked to him yet. But (crosses fingers) hopefully I can help out a good cause...and help evga get that goofy monkey on their site.
 
How old of GPU's can fold, only back to 8800's, cause they have a mess of 6800's too.

EDIT:  zerran beat me to it.

Well maybe EVGA would be willing to put something up on the website, Honestly with this being a smaller school, I have a good feeling that they would love the recognition, maybe kind of put them on the map a little more.

I also made sure to go to facebook and myspace to post on the evga folding at home groups about the CC 2010 as a reminder so the word should be getting to the masses over the next 24 hours.
