Folding Forum

I was intending to let the CPU do some work as well, as it only consumes a measly 140 watts.

With that CPU and 2 1080ti what sort of PPD are we likely to achieve? I would like to nudge 1 million if possible?

I will probably stick with an Asus Sabertooth X99, I have had a range of Sabertooth MBs in the past and they are unstoppable and are designed for the grief.

I am thinking along the lines of an X99 platform (probably Asus Sabertooth), i7 6850K CPU and probably a GTX 1080ti slotted on. Am I going along the ...

Please excuse me for the bone questions, I am completely new to folding, having only recently learned about distributed computing and began folding on my own gaming machine only yesterday. Since then I have been discussing the project with my father law whom is a (formerly very senior) retired docto...
