Right now I only have two PCs (with 10 GPUs) folding for the team. I stopped using one PC and the PS3 to try to save a little money on electricity, but my points per day have actually gone up thanks to the new work units.

I’d be glad to help others start GPU folding and offer some tips. For example, if you want to run F@H on your graphics card 24/7, then you probably want to adjust your card’s fan speed to make sure it stays cool. The most popular program to do this is RivaTuner:

BTW, I finally reached #20 on the team today in total points. I might be able to make #10 by the end of the month.

I noticed that your efforts have awakened a sleeping giant.

Keep in mind that I have been folding since 2001 or 2002 with CPUs, between 30 and 50 systems most of that time. Klutz has has over 400 CPUs running at once.

Here you come with 10 GPUs and a Playstation (!!) and will pass my points total in 3 months. Arrrgh.

I also saw that Stanford has looked at the whole FLOPS issues and decided to adjust FLOPs (but not points).

F@H is now running at 8.8 petaFLOPS. Insane.
