Is anyone else having problems using the web client in chrome? I'm finding it won't display properly but works fine if I switch it over to Edge 

I have that problem on all my systems too. Don't know of a solution other than alternate browser as workaround. I just don't use the web interface any more, and use the client.

You can use Windows 10 forever without a key, just can't personalize the desktop without one.  The ISO is free to download as well.  Worst case you use it for the month of folding and then you are done.

Yeah I’ve had issues with it in chrome. I’d recommend using the advanced client anyway (right click on tray icon > advanced client).

Why not ?

My next PSU will be full modular.

So do you have to put your system's picture and specs here to qualify for the giveaway or can you just fold?

From what I understood, no need to put a system picture and specs.

My main PC's vega FE and secondary PC's GTX 1070 are glaring at me...

 

Its getting cooler out here in nevada.

 

Hmmmmmmm

 

Might get back in to this, even though I can't win prizes lol

Started folding with a redundant laptop. A HP G5000 (G5056EA) from 2007 that runs Windows Vista 32 Bit on an Intel Pentium T2080 (been looking to upgrade it to a Core 2 Duo T7600 but there are very few on the market outside of China) with 2.5GB RAM.

 

My VAIO laptop is also up and folding (specs in signature). Desktop not folding just yet.

How many PPD are you earning? That GTX 1070 in your desktop will earn you a few points if you get that going.

Got my rig folding all the time when I'm not using it! Running a Ryzen 2700X along with my GTX 970.

Please ignore the bad wiring and such. It's an old picture and has since been fixed

You've got enough CPU cores to spare that you could run 2 or 4 while you're using it, even for gaming.

 

When I decide I want to play some games, I bump my folding power down to light, which runs 2 of my CPU cores but not my GPU. I've got a Ryzen 5 1600 sitting in my rig.

So sorry to hear about your dad. I'm folding in support of Alzheimer's since it runs in the family and I lost my great grandmother to it. That's a really nice looking rig, most of us here have definitely seen much worse cable management.

[Morrowgamer]

Picture not current, I've changed things around a lot but my phone is in the other room. Been folding a couple days now, but forgot to sign up for the forum competition

Yeah, my great grandfather passed from Alzheimer's as well. A noble cause to fold for.

 

Heh. Thanks I'll take that compliment!

 

Good luck

If you rotate the cooler 90 degrees so the fan is towards the front of the case pushing air towards the back, you should be able to have enough clearance from the cooler to install your memory in its proper dual channel configuration slots.

I have all four slots populated Corsair Vengence. I used the same brand with the exact same stats except its the low profile variant. But thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately it came three years too late however lol!
