Oh ok thanks!

If you are running just CPU folding on it, then you could assign all 16 threads to CPU folding. But if some cores are going to be needed to support GPU folding the maximum you could use is probably 12. You would have to check to see if that provided better throughput for CPU folding than just assig...

8 core CPU with AVX support i guess 100k PPD Wow that much? I didn't expect that. It's more then the GTX 760 offers (around 80k PPD). Again, out of curiosity, are there people that use dual socket motherboards to fold on Xeons with 10 cores and such and use the PCI-e ports for GPUs all in 1 system?...

Thanks for the input MeeLee! I know a Xeon is kinda overkill for folding, but I already have the system, I've bought it a year ago for testing. The motherboard I'm going to use is the Asus P9x79 WS, it has more full size PCI-e slots that I can shake a stick at ^^ (6 PCI-e 16X slots! Quad 8x and 2 4x...

Hello foldy, and thanks for your answer! I don't know how to run Linux, that's why I stick with Windows. The top card is the GTX 970 and it isn't throttling at all. it's running at 75°C for 72% fan speed. 1328 on the core and 3005 on the memory. The 960 on the other hand is running 67°C for 40% fan ...

Hello everyone! I've been folding for a few months now on an extra system I had. The system is comprised of an i5 2500k @4.3GHz stock voltage, GTX 970 from MSI and 8Gb of RAM. Plus I have a GTX 960 2Gb that was around so I stuck that in there but Windows 10 being windows 10, it didn't want to work. ...
