I just started folding at home and I was wondering if there were any tips about generally anything to do with if?

 

Estimated PPD = 55,000 with a 3770k @3.5GHz and a GTX 670 @ 1200MHz

Make sure the room your PC is in is able to be cooled quite substantially I have mine in my basement and it started to warm up the whole basement, I am kinda thinking that it is to do with the fact that it is 2 old Xeons, sucking power and giving of tons of heat, That is why I am only GPU folding right now, So yeah keep the place cool,

There are 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't.

Just some helpful stuff: You're - You are, Your - Your car, They're - They are, Their - Their car, There - Over there.

The new version now runs pretty well without much tweaking. If running on Medium, make sure you screen saver is set to some low value, like 5 minutes. That way you don't waste idle time. OC'ing your CPU will bring in a few more K PPD, but only if you have the cooling to handle it.

 

Also, read the FAQ - lots of info. Add in the client-type advanced switch.
