Version 7 UPDATE
I'm delighted to announce that I was recently appointed to the Communications Advisory Board of the [email protected] initiative: https://foldingathome.org/communication-advisory-board/
It's an honor for me to be included in a group with such distinctive individuals, and an awesome opportunity to help this wonderful project grow.

UPDATE 2
CORONAVIRUS
We are now actively targetting it! Check this thread for more info!
My mother passed away from cancer in July 2016, only 30 days after I was told that she had the condition.
Like me, many others have seen family and friends suffer with this plague. It all makes us feel helpless and desperate.
Only with scientific advancement is it possible to fight against cancer. There are little things that everyone can do to help such advancements happen sooner than they otherwise would. Our suggestion is the
What is it?
[email protected] is a project by Stanford University that uses our computing power to help study the process of protein folding so as to aid research on various diseases, including many forms of cancer, Alzheimer's, Huntington's, and Parkinson's. It is basically a big distributed supercomputer, and you can contribute a node!
What do I have to do to help out?
All you have to do is install a small program on your computer. Said programs downloads a small amount of data that it analyses. When finished it then returns the results to the research teams and collects another task to work on. You can even choose what disease research to base the bulk of your computing power on or just let it fold them for all projects!
I don't have a 9900k and RTX 2080Ti. Is my effort worth anything?
Everyone, no matter the hardware they possess, has a chance to help researchers fight against cancer and other illnesses, and, perhaps, make a big difference in the life of other people, or even their own. While the better your CPU, and especially GPU, the more folding power, every little bit can help!
Overclock.net has a good resource where you can check where different GPUs rank on what concerns folding
Joining is easy and takes about 3 minutes!
- Visit this link and download the installer.
- Install the software. (Windows guide) | (Linux guide) | (Mac guide)
That's it!
You can choose any username you want, even if it's already taken, and select to be part of a team to 'compete' against other teams to see who can accomplish "the most science". Our team number is 225605 but you do not have to join ours. Regardless of which team you join (or even if you don't join any) you are still helping!
In the initial config screen, you can also have a passkey e-mailed to you. You can add this string in the app settings, and that will give you extra folding points, under some criteria, if you finish your work units before scheduled! For higher end hardware, finishing early happens very often! [email protected] benchmarks their tasks on an older first gen i5.. If your machine is more powerful, you will do better!
But doesn't this make my computer run very hot?
If you want it to, yes. It is designed to run your system as hard as it can to get the fastest returns on results.
However, you have control as to when it runs and how quickly you want it to run. Your options are Light, Medium or Full.
- Light: CPU is Folding at half speed and the GPU is not Folding at all.
- Medium: CPU is Folding at three-quarter speed. GPU Folding is enabled and at full speed. Medium is selected by default.
- High: CPU is Folding at full blast and so is the GPU. This will consume the most power and generate the most heat.
You can also control whether or not you want to Fold while you're doing other things.
- While I'm working: Folding is enabled (as above) at all times.
- Only when idle: Starts folding when you leave the machine for a couple minutes.
Many people also find that running it at medium or even high makes no difference on what concerns performance if you're only just browsing the internet. It all depends on your specs.
If those options aren't enough and you want some more control, you have many more advanced options.
- Programs like TThrottle can suspend and resume Folding based on the CPU / GPU temperature. [email protected] already does this, but only at extreme temperatures.
- [email protected] can be configured so it only uses the number of CPU cores you want it to.
- Programs like MSI Afterburner can make sure your GPU will never go past a certain temperature when folding.
If, instead, you are going for MAX/FULL power folding, then know that [email protected] is designed to max your parts even more than video games or benchmarks! This means your temperatures will be higher than normal so you will want to check what they reach and/or tweak your CPU/GPU fan curves so they run at a higher speed. Your CPU and GPU are designed for this.
Consider running a monitoring program alongside when folding at a constant FULL level. Some program recommendations are OCCT, MSI's Afterburner or other similar programs.
TEAM PCMR
Team "PC Master Race - PCMR" (225605) has the potential to be one of the top 15 teams in the world. Right now we are ranked 20th in the world and there is plenty of room for you!
Even if you don't want to join any team, or have another team in mind to join, the important thing is that you join [email protected]!
If you have any questions, ask them here! You can also refer to the previous versions of this thread, linked at the beginning of this thread.
Thank you for joining, and stay glorious!
