Hello team EVGA. I noticed on the evga bucks terms and conditions, it says they must been redeemed by March 2014 or something. Does this mean you have to spend them by March (which you limit your ability to save evga bucks for a later purchase), or does it mean you must simply collect them (hit the apply button) and then you can save them indefinitely? This post here implies you can save them as long as you have "applied" for and "approved" them. Hmmm it won't let me post a link :( Thank you

When you hit 50 posts Valkerie then links can be posted. My understanding is that's the time to actually apply for and have them approved. Once approved there is (so far to my knowledge) no expiration date for the approved EVGA bucks. You're best bet is to request your EVGA bucks when you get them to avoid any possible problems downstream.
Just be sure you forum name here and your folding name are the same, if not you'll need to contact the man (Rob) and have them fix it.
Good luck and thanks for being a part of the EVGA team! Now go kill some WU's.

Oh I'm supposed to share my system specs here?
Bulldozer 8 core AMD @3.1 GHz, 8GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 668MH Ram, Windows 8 64 bit, and 2G NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti.
Only running on the desktop. Is that sufficient information? I'm running full mode. I'd link my account from the website but low post users apparently can't.
Thus look me up if you wish. ArtyD is the name. Already at 17k and pulling the Homer statement. It's my first day.

Welcome ArtyD. System specs not required but it helps us in giving you any info you may need. Did you get a passkey and register for the EVGA bucks? Enjoy your stay and feel free to ask any questions you may have.

No... How do I get one?
Nevermind, found the passkey thing. next up evga bucks?
http://www.evga.com/folding/promo.asp link to bucks program. The 660 ti does not fold well on the new drivers and point totals reduced by half. Your passkey is new so will need to be primed (complete 10 wu's) then you can get QRB (bonus points). Only work with bonus at this time 8900, 7810 and 7811. If you are doing 8018 let us know so we can show you how to get more points. I rolled my drivers back to 320 and TPF was cut in half. Just a heads up as there are several ways to tweak systems to get max points. One more thing on bucks program, your forum name must match your folding name and you have to request the bucks.

So I need to change my folding name to ArtyD42... grand. Edit: I am folding whatever they give me. If I only picked what would give me points fastest I wouldn't be contributing as much useful information.

Hi,
Always been interested and kind of off and on folding. I finally found a way to contribute. I work with servers at work and we have been using a stress program to load the servers, but I figured we might as well load the servers with something useful so now I'm using the folding program on 5/6 servers with dual xeon processors no graphics cards. Work is kinda excited with it because then we could put the bucks toward gfx cards to fold on some of our other machines.
As long as I see the points on my folding page, then everything is going fine right?
I used to get only like 20k/week with just my desktop. These servers are running at 100k/day (supposedly according to one full 24 hr day during my burn in test) :D
I am currently using a terminal only folding program so if you have any tips about running folding servers in ubuntu that would be helpful. Also is there more micro adjustments than medium, full etc. I'd like to find a way to incrementally play with the CPU load when we want to run other tests.

Looks like you are doing 8018 work for 5757 points. Those are old units without any bonus points. https://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=67&t=18187 that link is a guide to put in a flag that will get you core 17 work so your passkey gets primed. Your PPD will increase dramatically under this core vs old core that you are now running. Bonus work at this time 8900, 7810, and 7811.

In case it wasn't clear, the core 15 WUs you completed didn't count towards priming the passkey. Only bonus-eligible WUs affect passkey qualification, and core 15 projects have no bonus.

Welcome aboard Gumibears!! Folding is an excellent way to stress test any PC or Server. From what your shared, it appears that your work is on-board with allowing Folding and this is good because that is a requirement (from Stanford). They require that any corporate Folding is approved by the company that owns the equipment. So, good stuff and other companies (large and small) have used Folding to do stress testing. Couple of things to consider for your points. Make sure that you have a Passkey (from Stanford) because it is optional when you sign up and request a Folding Username. With a Passkey, after you have processed 10 WUs that support QRB (Quick Return Bonus), you can qualify for Bonus Points on those WUs . Also make sure that your Forum Name here is the same as your Folding Username if you want to earn the EVGABucks rewards. That is an EVGA requirement for EVGABucks, not a F@H requirement. Also, log-into the EVGA website, go into "My EVGA", then "My Profile" and make sure that your "EVGA Folding Name" is entered on that profile page. Please feel free to post any technical questions that you have in our Main Folding Forum or over in the Folding Help section of our Forum. We're glad to have you on our team, make yourself comfortable here and thank-you for choosing Folding to help with this great cause.

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

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.
