Just started folding on my desktop!

 

Not sure if I'll be folding 24/7 but I'm glad to have started. I plan on setting up a dedicated folding rig in the future with my FM2 system so that should be fun.

    I've thought about F@H with my PC while I'm at work. How easy was it to set up?

    @dizmo Folding is super easy to set up it takes maybe 3 minutes

     

    @Crunchy Dragon Welcome to F@H! I actually just bought a used gpu to dedicate as my folding gpu that way I can put it to max while I still do other things on my main gpu

    @WhisperingKnickers How is it power draw wise? Is it similar to mining?

    @dizmo You can set it to use lower power, medium power, or higher power.

     

    I would imagine it's similar to mining, but I have it set up to only run when my machine is idling so it doesn't take as much as it would running 24/7

    @dizmo I haven't mined but I would think that it is less, plus you get to tell it how hard you want it to work whether that be only when your PC is idling or whether you are running it full throttle or maybe somewhere in between

    Ahhh I see I see, good to know!

    I've been thinking about setting up a PC just for folding, with a couple cheap GPUs.
