This is the official discussion thread for the Computer Forum folding team.
What is F@H? "Our goal: to understand protein folding, misfolding, and related diseases" It's basically a distributed effort to unfold the secrets behind proteins and the way that they fold which sometimes causes mutations and serious disease like cancer etc. to occur. By joining in, you can help humanity and have fun competing with your friends at the same time. To find out how Folding@Home works, how you can get involved and help, and to view the team stats and information, check out this thread: Folding@Home: About And help spread the word by copying and pasting this code into your signature: PHP Code:

yeah, i thought about that one, but i decided to list things that may be of more immediate applicable use. Not that i'm discrediting the work of the guys of seti.

That is a bloody great idea!!
I have just set up a team for the computer forum for folding@home http://folding.stanford.edu/ The good thing there is a ranking system in place within the team, so we can see who is doing most to help out a good cause. Common guys all join in!! the team number is: 44358

team data will take a while to update, as it is only updated once you have completed a packet of data / unit of work, which may take a few days. Bearing in mind i only just set it up it will take a while for numbers and user to appear on their. Have you signed up. Well done.
If a lot of people sign up (as i hope) i will ask preator if i can post updates of the scores every week or so. So it's prob best if you sign up to folding@home with your computerforum username. Good on ya!

The thing that worrys me most about these number crunching programs is, i dont have ideal full load temps, isnt this just like running a burn in program all the time?

Sure is. I've been running F@H for team 11108 (Maximum PC...sorry) since June 2004 and I definitely needed to fix up my cooling to keep temps down. I had to cut a side panel hole and do the direct ducting route.
