3 tips to have a good time on the LTT forums | 1. When you reply to someone please quote them | 2. Please follow your threads | 3. Follow the C.o.C 

If you follow these 3 tips you should have a blast.

Hey guys, I'm new to this forum, and also to folding. I have been a fan of Linus for quite some time and if I'm going to fold, I atleast owe it to him to contribute to his team. I'm suprised that he hasn't made a video about it TBH.

 

I've got a main workstation with 2 980s and soon recieving a second rendernode (2x E5 2680 v3) that i'm willing to use for folding when I'm not rendering. Thinking of building a dedicated folding node as well and want to know what an ideal setup would be. Not very familiar with what folding utilizes more.

 

Thanks guy!

Well I was all about that bling when I got the Razer Blackwidow ultimate as I had a M17xR3 from Alienware at the same time ... Needless to say i've moved on but they keyboard has stayed as its still a good gaming keyboard just overpriced.

I've been folding for one year now on linustech and have gained 20million points with just my 780 Ti. I would not mind trying out that Titan X to see what type of points that gives.
