    Bringing FAH back...

    FAH is to much work for me to run on my cluster of systems but I do have two GPU heavy systems that can run 24/7. So far I have switched one over and if I don't have any issues I will switch the other one over. These two systems are hitting over 36K blocks a day in RC5-72. I also have an HD4870 ready to put into a system to add to the mix. Who else is with me for a FAH revival?
    I'm having fun!!! I'm just not sure if it's net fun or gross fun.

    I'm running three GTX285 in each system. Both are running 1KW powersupplies but one seems to be a little weak. RC5 running on the GPU's pulls about 705W and is stable. FAH on all three GPU's pulls 730W and shuts down after a while but is stable on two GPU pulling 560W. I have a newer 1KW power supply that I will be swapping in later this week. After looking at how slow the ATI clients run on FAH I think I will put it on RC5 since it is about twice as fast as a GTX285.

    Got two gtx-460's on it and very shortly will be 24/7 as the temps here in vegas are finally going down.
    Yeah, you certainly get a lot more points compared to the old days.

    i'm going to be running folding@home until the day i die as far as i'm concerned. hopefully we will make some kind of a difference.


    Fold moar!

    I'm adding two more GTX285 and GTX580 part time. Got the new power supply in and it is working great, 900W of 12v power. Total of 8 GTX285 and one GTX580.

    After playing some with the new SMP client it looks like it is a lot easier to run on many systems with more then one core. And so I am releasing it on my CPU minions.
