Hi everyone! 

I used to fold quite a bit back in the day, but things tapered off.  I'm looking forward to getting back into it! 

Currently folding on an i7 920 (OC'ed to 3.2ghz) with a GTX 570, as well as my older Core2 Duo. 

Welcome!!! And... I dig your avatar

Welcome aboard

Just started folding today. Using Core i7 975@4.2Ghz 2x Evga GTX 580 Classified's. Don't really know what the hell I'm doing but the guides on this forum have been quite helpful.

Hi, I started folding for eVGA in July 2011.

Hi, i'm new here at folding ! i'll do my best to contribute to the cause. But i have a question, can we use the same login on 2 or more different computer ?

How many computer are you able to use under your name?

yes you can use as many as you wish.
I have 2 sometimes 3 running,...others here have 1/2 dozen or more
 

Okay I started folding for EVGA first time folder, What I'm useing is in my sig.

if you want EVGA bucks then your EVGA name must match your folding name
either change your folding name or contact EVGA about changing your user name
 
I also suggest to use FAH GPU tracker V2 and get a passkey if you intend to fold SMP
if you need further info you can PM me or read this thread (past)
or read the FAH gpu tacker guide in the guide forim
 
 

80c is fine for Nvidia cards - they are meant to take up to 100c
 
however my stock 570 sits around 58-60c under load
be a good idea to set up an aggressive fan profile with EVGA precision
 
the passkey can be found at stanford

Ive been running mine 100% of the time either folding(mostly folding) or gaming for over a full year
machine only goes down for servicing
the card is under warranty - if it dies - I get a new one 
after warranty expires, it time for a upgrade anyways
 
with my latest purchase I can now enjoy playing a game with my 3930k x79 chugs away 45k PPD
 
you won't get much folding with the x4  -the 570 will generate most of the points
however it's running anyways  - so fold away
 
Also a good idea to keep reading the forums on a regular basis 
that way you can get advice - learn some things and get in on contest we occasionally run
 
 

I added a small fan below the card to pull in more cool air, and set the card fan to run at 60% and its staying at 70c seems to be a good temp, but I can't run the cpu folding untill I get some  Arctic Silver to keep it cool enough.

welcome to the team

Hello, almost got a million points now so not new really but don't post much.
 
Lol, just noticed I have been on the forums since 09 and am still considered a "new member"

checking in, btw the "form" to fill out only has 2011/2010 not 2012.
my favorite projects are GPU grid, Lattice project and WCG but i'm doing both crunching and folding so hopefully you don't hold it against me:P
 
not really in it for the EVGA bucks, wasnt going to even join any teams but i would like to support EVGA in supporting community science projects so hey!
