FAH and BOINC Badge Request

 

Recommended

Posted by TVwazhere,

Starting January 1st, 2021, we will be handing out awards based on new higher folding badge thresholds. These new values have been decided due to the increase of power a GPU can provide; this has made it much easier to achieve badges in recent years. Anyone holding a current badge will be grandfathered in! This means you won't have your badge downgraded after the new thresholds come into effect.    F@H Badge Thresholds In order to be rewarded with the Folding @ Home badge, please

83, climbing rather quickly now. Becoming tempted to get some actual dedicated hardware for folding, it's a little bit thrilling!  :rolleyes:

that is 100% possible, just stick another gpu into your mobo.

 

I actually have a 780 as my main card and a 7970 underneath it. the 7970 is folding 24/7 and I only pause the 780 when I play games or go some editing.

 

here's the link to the thread I made https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/53402-amd-or-nvidia-why-not-both/ if you need any more info on my rig, feel free to send me a PM.

I'm waiting for someone to be like "I am Number Four." :)

 

Currently #10 and probably staying there for a while until I get that winter heat radiator of a 4P system going. And then still, I probably will produce much less than the top 2 people until I get a second one running or something.

 

jmrios just overtook me, hmpf. ;)

For dual cards, one dedicated to folding, it is quote simple, but save yourself some headaches and make sure they are same brand - don't mix AMD and NVidia - other then that, easy peasy.

 

Via advanced via you can actually pause individual slots, so when gaming, "pause" your primary card and leave the second one folding away...

To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.

overall #97...I'm at the point where I am conflicted, I can either game or fold but I can't do both. I really need to find a way to use my old 7770 that I have but my PSU doesn't have another 6 pin PCI-e connector :(

Any massive reason i shouldn't mix the two? I honestly just finished putting the other card in my rig. everything seem to be working fine, or is there long term damage i could do if i leave it?

 

pics for proof!

No issues at all with doing it - just sometimes you get driver issues and one brand won't fold and it is a b$%^t to trouble shoot. If yours it working, perfect!!

You can buy, online, Ebay, local computer store, a connector that will take 2 x molex to one PCIe 6 pin. That would do it, if you have two molex connectors free.

so something like this? And I shouldn't have any problems using both my 7950 and 7770 with the Seasonic 550w?

Is this the model you have: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151119

That one has a single 12v rail, which is perfect - so, based on your hardware, and no overclocking - it should be able to handle it. If it was multi rail, then I would worry as you could easily overload one in a 2+ rail PSU.

Yup that's exactly what I have. Sweet now I just need to order the 2 molex to 1 6pin and I can finally use that 7770 that has been collecting dust for a couple of months. Thank you Master Whaler Lord ;)

Today I had to RMA one of my 7970`s because one of the fans decided to retire!

I expect it to be gone for 2 weeks so I think that my short time @ #3 is over. :-)
