I Fold, Do You?

[KarmaKiller]

A poem by BenBrown..

I Fold, Do You

Some people Race for the Cure
Some people walk
Everyone desires a cure
but most do no more than talk
But I Fold for the Cure
For Family, Friends, for everyone else
A desire to help
Maybe someday myself
So Fold for the cause
it's only right that you do
The cure that may be found
Could someday be for you.

Just thought I'd share with you guys. Team TechIMO could use all the help it can get.

Nope.

I don't want the extra strain on my power supply or want to dump all that extra heat into my case.

If I had a beefier power supply and a larger, more vented case it might be different.

Then you don't know.

Ex, beefier PSU has nothing to do with it. I run a highly OC'ed Dual core,2gb or RAM 9600GT, 5 case fans, 2HDD's and 1 DVD drive all on a little FSP350watter. It crunchs 24/7, with no issues. And the heat is very minimal for the GPU folding. Which just happens to be the fastest way to fold now a days.
But I understand folding isn't for everyone.

Also, EX, I myself would send you some more case fans if it led to you folding. LMK.

KK,

If you can get a few of your online gamers from TIMO, it would boost our output a lot. Maybe its time to link the official Stanford installation link.

What your 9800 can crank out 5500ppd? Just that video card and it does not affect your gaming??

[KarmaKiller]

Not really at all E. Some games are picky about it, but for the most part I run all my games with GPU folding in the back ground with out issues. Some games it does cut down the FPS, but nothing unbearable.
And the CPU folding even has less of a effect. I don't notice it's going at all.

I've got a Q6600 setup with an 8800 GS. This is using the power supply that came with my Dell (says 375w continuous IIRC).

I am not sure that a 350w will hold out on a setup like you have for long, no matter how good it is.

[KarmaKiller]

Well, I'm gonna find out one way or another.
And I admit, your pushing it. But if your experiencing no problems in games/normal activities, I promise folding isn't gonna cause any.
But I'm not gonna try to convince you of anything. I really liked this poem, and found it to be inspiring.

*Off Topic*
Ex, have you ran 3dMarks at all? I saw a guy with a Q6600 at stock, and a single 8800GS OC'd hit 14,200. That is freaking amazing. I'm just curious to know what kind of score they get stock

I don't know about the Dell psu but I have the same setup with a 350 Antec psu and 2 hdd and liteon dvd burner. Even with just the 8800gs running, you can help out FAH TIMO a lot.

Like KK said, if DC is not your game then it's not.

KK don't be sad that Dave has turn us down like a......

I hope they find the poem also inspiring and help out the cause.
