Many of my friends here at Sysnative are also members of Landzdown.com so I thought I'd share that one of our Admins created a team. If anyone would like to fold for the LandzDown.com team, the Folding@home team is ID 261265, Folding@home stats report.

@Corrine I'll promptly add myself to the team. I've got about 5 computers running it full time.

 

[Corrine]

Thank you, Rob! That's great. I wish my old devices could handle it.

Joined the team as well, I'd like to see my GPU a bit challenged as I've never seen my GPU anywhere near 50% usage. With F@H using the GPU at full, it's around 40%. At least something is using the GPU a bit decently.

Thank you, @axe0

I have joined the Team @Corrine

 

[Corrine]

Fantastic! Thank you, Sherry.

I wish I could but I only have Laptops even though there High End Alienware Laptops it would make the Fans scream and Sherry @ssherjj showed me her system task manager and it's to much for hers as well unfortunately.

I wouldn't recommend running this on laptops - working on WUs generally means running your hardware at 100%, and laptops won't adequately cool under a continuous full workload. You also don't have to run this 100% of the time!

Thank you Daniel! That is true my Fans were roaring upon startup and when using Microsoft Edge with the Folding@ Home program. My CPU was staying at 99% down to 46%. I had to use Task Manager to shut the programs down. I have a a laptop as well. Sorry Team!

I'm going to jump on the RTX 3080 when it releases. We'll see how it grinds.

I still, do not have a 3080. scalpers with buying bots and bitcoin miners snatched them up. It retails for $699 at Best Buy. You can get one for $1600+ on e-Bay. Nope.
