Folding Forum

Since I already bought the hardware I will use it. Can anyone confirm that CPU threads are sufficient?
I hope that the PCIe bandwidth is such a big problem given that I already have the hardware.

I have now installed all GPUs and the PPD is quite low for 5 GPUS (between 200k and 400k). I think, as some of you have suggested, the CPU has not enough cores to deal with all GPUs. I will buy a new CPU and I was wondering does Folding@home require physical cores or are threads sufficient?

Hey, I am currently building my folding pc, and I was wondering whether I could use the folding pc to contribute to other projects simultaneously. I found two things that might be interesting: 1) Setting up a honeypot for hackers and, 2) Providing a relay for Tor. Does anyone here has experience wit...

I also bough a 4U Server-like Mining rack that can house 6 GPUs and the necessary risers. Furthermore, the mainboard has integrated GPU and a Celeron G3930. I hope the GPUs will be suitable for this project. I know that they are older but I guess they deliver the most bang for the buck (ignoring ene...

I decided to buy a folding rig. I ordered a ASRock H110 Pro BTC+, 6x Zotac P106-90, and a Corsair HX1000.

How much Ram would you recommend?

Which OS would you recommend (i.e., is there a difference between the Linux distributions)?

Anything I should consider?

Thank for your help.

Dear Community,

Thank you very much. Your input is super helpful. I am not quite convinced by this idea myself. Since I will not order anything at this moment, I still have some time to think about this.

In contrast to this idea, are there any resources that describe the costs of a full mining rig?

Dear Community, I am thinking about buying a folding computer at a small budget and I would like to hear your opinion. I am not paying for power hence I am not too worried about the power consumption. I thought about a cheap office pc (Dell-Optiplex-7010-with a Core-i3 ) plus a decent GPU. My only w...
