I was going to fill out the form linked on the front page, but the year field hasn't been updated for 2013.

I have sent a PM to Zerran.
He is not very active on our folding forum anymore since he has a new job, I hope he still wants to fix this.

I've just received a PM back from Zerran, it's going well with him and he has updated the year field for 2013.

Whats up Evga folders!
 
I have a quick question and didn't fell it was big enough to start a new thread, so here it goes.I am building a new rig entirely dedicated to crunching/ folding and I was wondering if there is a major difference between a 470 and a 570 gpu? I would prefer to just pick up a used 470 that is strictly for folding (rare gaming use), but if a 570 performs more efficiently, faster and cooler, I could save up for that instead.
 
Thank you for the help in advance,

To answer your question, the power consumption of the gtx 470 and gtx 570 are roughly the same. The 570 does run cooler and is faster at the same amount of power draw. Both cards are excellent folders, so it mainly depends on how much heat/noise you are willing to deal with.

Okay cool. So I think I will go with the 470, get myself a gpu block and add it to the loop! Thanks for the reply Teyko5 

No problem. Enjoy your stay! 

Just started folding last night as I have a spare box that isn't doing anything atm. It's only 32k PPD with an i7-965 and a single GTX 560, but I have a couple of GTX 680's that should be here this week, which should perk it up a bit. I did fill out the form on the first page.
 
It's my first attempt at folding. It has managed to raise the temperature in the room a few degrees...
 

Welcome to the team!!!
I use the extra heat as a bonus for my wife since she's always cold.

Welcome aboard
I use the heat as an foot warmer in the basement
