Just started folding for EVGA a little while ago. Currently running my 670 when I can. I always try to hit atleast 500k a month to help out. The EVGA bucks promo is a nice touch!

Welcome to the team EX^^
The EVGA bucks are Nice. Stack them up for some goodies later^^

Just got my first build ever up and running, found out about FAH via a reddit post (can't link yet xD), and just got it up and running when I saw the Folding at EVGA forum and I put 2 and 2 together. 

As a pre-med student, I really like that I can dedicate unused processing power towards medical research, and the EVGA Bucks should be a nice bonus ;D

Specs: 
NZXT Phantom 410
i5-4670k w/ H100i
780 Ti Classified with ACX (not in yet, will be in Monday!)
Gigabyte Z87x-UD5H
Corsair HX850
8 GB RAM
Samsung 840 EVO 250GB SSD
WD Caviar Black 1TB

w/o my GPU or any overclocking, I'm sitting at an estimated 10-10.5k PPD according to the FAH client.

Welcome to the team Equitum.
For me, it felt right to put the Processing Power to good use.
Nice rig btw, the 780ti is a true beast at folding.
I hope santa bring me one too.

I've been folding for EVGA for a few years now.  With my GTX 480s SC in SLI, I was getting an average of 40k PPD from 2010 till about mid 2012.  Than I switched to a 680 Hydro Copper and was getting around 60k PPD.  Than went from that to a 780 Classified Hydro Copper and was pushing 35k-40k PPD since August.  The time I've spend folding not realizing my full potential makes me cry inside and a bit upset.  But there was a breakthrough today when I made a post and got help by some folding experts.  I can now joyfully and happily say I'am folding at an average of 160k.  lol

Great to hear from you Gtx and congrats on the results from the newer tech GPUs!  We do have some really knowledgeable "GPU Gurus" around here and they are always ready to help.  Good stuff!!

Hi, just thought I should check in. Relatively new around here. Folding on an i7-2600k and a pair of 560Ti cards. Getting the right setup was an interesting experience lol
It's amazing that I can pull 60kPPD (with both cards and the CPU) and a single 780Ti does 2-3 times more lol

I've bought EVGA gear for years (Classified motherboards, 3x295s, 3x480 hydro, now 2x780 hydro) and am now playing with folding and am reading about crunching (havent' tried it yet).
 
Current CPU is i7 990X running at 4.5G on a 761 Classified with 2 780's hydros running at 100% power target (on precision setting).  GPU and MEM are both at 0 offset.   Looks like 90,000 points a day based on FAH client with CPU temps around 60 (Heatkiller v3 sink) and 780 hydro temps below 50 and motherboard around 40 (Bitspower liquid sinks on north/southbridge).  
 
Does it make sense to bump GPU clock offset up and mem offset up or leave them alone and keep things cool / stable or am I adding heat and power without getting alot of extra points?
 
Are there other things I should be tweaking?
 
 I have a passkey and the folding name BScottHarroff and put 111065 in for the team number.  Are you seeing the points coming in for the team?

Welcome, Scott.
 
Yes, your points are showing up: http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/user_summary.php?s=&u=651930
 
With those cards, you should probably follow this guide to maximize the PPD of your 780s.  Core 17 does way, way better PPD-wise than core 15, which I'm assuming your cards are running based on the PPD you're getting.
 
Don't increase the memory speed.  FAH is not memory-intensive, so overclocking it will just result in higher temps/power draw without speeding anything up.  It's possible to actually underclock the GPUs as much as possible (-500 MHz in Precision) without slowing down folding, but I assume you use these cards for gaming or something and wouldn't want to take quite that drastic a route.
 
As for clock speed, increasing that can make a noticeable difference, especially when you're running core 17 WUs.  I have a pair of 780s, one an SC and the other a FTW.  The SC at its factory OC got around 140k PPD; I believe that was around 1044 MHz boost.  I was able to run it at 1215 MHz boost for several months without changing the power target, and that gets around 180k PPD.  I've since had to back down a bit to 1201 MHz boost due to instability, where it gets around 175k, but that's still a 25% improvement.  The FTW runs fine at 1215.
 
You should be aware that, at least from what I've seen, the 780s are not folding-stable at the above-mentioned OC's on core 15.  I think the highest I can get on the FTW there is around 1175 MHz, and the SC can only do about 1140 or so.  With the beta flag right now you'll pretty much only get core 17, but that's subject to change at any time; the beta flag is not intended to be a more-PPD setting, it just happens to be for Nvidia GPUs at the moment.  You may want to run at a slower speed just so that any unexpected core 15 assignments don't cause you to start failing left and right.
