Ok, long time Folder,short time Cruncher. With that said I'll be splitting machines between the 2 and look in to the Folding and crunching on the same machine at the same time. Big on GPUS light on CPU power, we'll see if they can handle the heat and go from there. Thanks for letting me run with you in the latest challenge!!!!

Welcome howdy2u2,
I'm the same way. Quad core only with 2 gpus. Remember that every point counts, it was a hard lesson for me. I'm almost always in the bottom of the charts on CPU only projects, but being on this great team helps alot.

Welcome to the Forum cdog499e and to a Great BOINC Team! This is where you go to setup a BOINC Banner http://signature.statseb.fr/User Of The Day http://www.uotd.org/ You need to setup a User Profile on Each Project you run on to get a UOTD Count.

So today is my first day of crunching. I believe it is set up ok. Under "Projects Tab" it states Team is [link=mailto:Crunching@EVGA]Crunching@EVGA[/link].
First question. Can someone please verify this? Thanks. I just want to make sure my credit is going to the team.
Next up is my system. I have a SR-2 mobo with 2 x5680's oc'd to 4.2 ghz. HT currently disabled therefore 12 cores are Cool running, and low power consumption. This board also folds with 2 1080's.
Second question: Will it make crunching crazy fast to enable HT to get 24 threads? I was reading some of the forum stuff per "You should Keep HT Enabled (On) for Sieve Projects and Disabled (Off) for LLR Projects" and started to get a bleed nose, lol. I am currently on the World Community Grid project.
Thanks team.

Ummm no pressure but....................we could use your help on the PG (Prime Grid) Challenge, that is if your interested. http://www.primegrid.com/ It's actually pretty interesting if your into numbers-primes- Any Who WELCOME!!! It is for me at least as addicting as Folding....................

Thanks bc for the great info as usual. I'll do some reading. You and the others always at 110%.
Thanks howdy. I'll try and do some research on the prime at a later time.
Thanks for the warm greetings everyone.

If you are going to Fold and Crunch, be sure to leave a free CPU core per GPU.
otherwise the Folding PPD will be reduce by a lot.
You need to configure Boinc to use 90% of the CPU
Options tab, Computing Preferences, Computing Tab, Usage Limits, Use at most xx% of the cpu's

Welcome aboard, take your time and do not sweat it. There are a few things to learn. It is not really all that hard. Just remember to join the team with every new project you install
If you joined PrimeGrid, you do not need to join the team for primegrids sub-projects.
Looks like the big guns have already gave you a crash course. Ask questions, people are more than happy to help.
I still have a lot to learn, you do not need to know everything all at once. I still have not learned to used BAM and some other things.
One day maybe.
Anyway, thanks for joining and good luck..

Thanks HK I did not dedicate cores for the gpu so I will do that.
Thanks bill. Yeah crunching is a bit more tedious. Will get this one system tweek and one page at a time.

Well that was a crazy process and alot of reading.. I'm setup 100%(I think) for crunching. I have BIONIC setup, BAM setup, STats-FreeDC setup.. It looks all to be reporting correctly.
Glad I could join yall in Crunching.. I waited to get on this to be sure I had the [link=mailto:Folding@home]Folding@home[/link] setup 100%(which I do).
Looking forward to helping out and huge thank you to all the people who posted the guides.. Super helpful!

Hello Everyone, Just signed up to start crunching. I used to fold (for another team) 5 years ago or so and decided to get back into it. I'm sorry but I'm probably going to have a bunch a newb questions, please bear with me. I'm reading what I can, but it is still confusing. So, I signed up at WCG and downloaded and ran the BOINC manager. On WCG it says I am on the EVGA crunching team so I hope that is at least correct. It immediately started a bunch of CPU projects but no GPU ones. I'd like to do a bunch of GPU crunching, I'm hoping my 970 will be somewhat useful. I went to the page to get a banner so I can chase badges :) and it said CPID not correct?! Do I have to have a completed project for it to find me? One more question (for now). I read that I should use a different version of BOINC than the one downloaded from WCG, is this still the case? The post was from some years ago. Thanks in advance for all the help.

Welcome to the Team! Exnihilo Curatio
+1 welcome aboard! Ask all your questions, we're a friendly bunch always ready to help. On WCG it says I am on the EVGA crunching team so I hope that is at least correct. It immediately started a bunch of CPU projects but no GPU ones. Sounds like you're all set up on WCG. They had GPU tasks in the past, but don't at the moment. So CPU is expected there. I went to the page to get a banner so I can chase badges :) and it said CPID not correct?! Do I have to have a completed project for it to find me? Yes, it can take a while to get your CPID initially. I'd keep an eye out for your username on this link. I read that I should use a different version of BOINC than the one downloaded from WCG, is this still the case? The post was from some years ago. The WCG version of BOINC tends to be behind the latest version available. Check your version against the official download site. I think WCG provides their own client to ease the process of getting set up, but may be lacking the latest fixes and shiny new features. Here is a list of the major projects along with their supported platforms. Look for the nvidia icon for GPU options.

ARRRGGGHHHH I'm pulling my hair out here. I have BOINC set up and WCG running fine, but I can't seem to sign up for anything that uses the GPU. I tried to add Einstein at home through BOINC and it set up an account, but it used my user name from the computer instead of letting me choose one and I can't find a way to change it on the Einstein site. It also won't let me choose a team. I'm sure there is something easy I'm missing but I can't figure it out. Just to test I tried adding Asteroids at home and the same thing, it won't let me choose a user name or a team at signup. BTW thanks Planetclown for the help, I did get an updated version of BOINC from there. OK it looks like BAM! is not going to work as it wants to use the same email (OK) and password (NOT OK) for each project. I'll keep trying to figure this out. Edit: I think I have a (very small) handle on this. I can sign up to a project through BAM! then go to the site and change password and join the team. Doing WCG on CPU and GPUGrid and Asteroids on the GPU. Thanks for the help and I would appreciate any tips or tweaks. MMMMM, Crunchy!

Log in to your account @ Einstein then >Preferences>Community On the Communities page you will see "General Settings" the box with "Name *" can be changed and will be your user name you choose. Primegrid has lots of GPU projects if you are in to finding primes.

It sucks that Folding is that main use of GPUs in biology science. Most of the gpu projects are mathematical.

Fired up a second computer and have started PrimeGrid with it.
Unfortunately, it is not as fast (i7-860k w/GTX750ti) but it should get some work done.
