Does this project use GPU like FAH does? OpenZika is only using my CPU for now, and I want to make sure I have it set up right.

Quick Start Guide
 
This involves downloading BOINC, selecting the "World Community Grid" project, and then selecting the sub-project "OpenZIKA".
 
1. Download + Install BOINC (https://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php) 
2. Open BOINC and click "Add Project"
3. Select the "World Community Grid" project, and then click on their website url. (https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/discover.action)
4. On their Website, click "Join Now" at the top left or right depending. Enter your information and Register.
5. Once presented with the Sub project selection, choose "OpenZIKA" and click next. It will download a program, but you don't need it.
 
6. Go back to the BOINC app and click "Next >". Login with the World Community Grid account that you just signed up for.
 
Your BOINC app will now benchmark your system, and then start running. 
 
BUT, you still need to set your team to the LTT forum one.
 
7. Navigate to the team selection page, and login if you aren't already (https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ms/team/viewMyTeam.do)
8. Type in "LinusTechTips" in the "Contains:" field.
9. Click on the "LinusTechTips_Team" result that shows up. Once the page loads click "Join Team".
 
You will now be BOINCing for the LTT team
 
This is the easiest way to help out the cause, but there are more beneficial / advanced ways to do so if you're interested. Refer to the OP for more information.

Hey everyone! 
 
I'm here to talk to y'all about BOINC. I'm sure many of you heard about or participated in our contest last year for Folding, which is another awesome way to help push forward medical science. This time around, it's using a platform called BOINC, which supports many different scientific ventures!
 
With your gaming PC, laptop, server, or really any computer, you can donate processing power from your CPU or GPU when you're not using them to help run calculations on a vast number of distributed computation projects. This massive shared computational power can help researchers learn more about these diseases in an effort to better treat them, or how numbers really work, and it can make a HUGE difference in the fight to conquer them. 
 
Using BOINC, a simple software you can run on your PC, you can automagically use your processing power when idling (or full time if you desire) for the previously mentioned calculations. 
 
 
In exchange for your valiant processing effort, we're going to give away a PC game (up to $100 per), to 3 lucky BOINCers, in support of the cause.
CONTEST ENTRY FORM: https://forms.gle/DEnxDgWB4k2xkhw88
 
 
Check out the official Pentathlon 2019 thread for more information, and the quick start guide below for how to easily participate.
 

 
 
 
Contest entries will be handled by a Google form, and will be based on your BOINC activity in the World Community Grid project (specifically OpenZIKA).
 
I will post the contest form Monday, May 13, 2019 at noon PST. 

i saw that also, so you said its gonna use Spare GPU but OpenZika seems to only use CPU becues thers no projects whit GPU it says

There is a GPU project coming up, Einstein@home. 
 
But ZIKA is only CPU based.
 
Come over to the actual event thread to ask for more details.

Just got the MSI MEG Z390 ACE and threw it in my 570X. Works well and has all the features you could want. I'd recommend against the Godlike or any E-ATX board. I don't think you can fit any E-ATX mb in the case, and if you can, it won't be worth it IMO.

Every bit helps. Probably doesn't mean I should be running my 6850k at 4.6 Ghz and 80C continuously under load, but I digress (and will be downclocking it to around 4.3 for this)... ?
