    What sort of hardware are you all throwing at this problem?

    I've got:

    1. a Celeron giving about 400 points per day (ppd)
    2. an i7 laptop (that runs on light) dropping about 7000 ppd
    3. an old Dell R710 in the Server room running at about 15kppd
    4. an AMD FX-8350 gets about 30k ppd
    5. a GTX970 that gets between 280k and 310k ppd

        Oddly enough, that is the same box that our poor little IRC bot Exec runs on... but his home is nice and warm!

      I regret to report I have but one core and one GPU giving their life for this project.

      The roar of fans in the office is worrisome at time.

      No, you are mistaken. I've always had this sig.

        The roar of the fans is because they love you.

        Any folding is excellent, it all adds up. You aren't joking about the heat. Had to redo the cooling to support non-stop 100% usage. When the house gets warm it sounds like a leaf-blower on the desk. Replaced case fans with Noctua ($$) and the sound went down a lot. Couldn't figure out how to make the GPU quieter though :( Might have to rethink cooling again for the next build. I hope your computer stays cool!

    Using two computers here. An old gaming machine in the guest room that has an AMD Phenom II 965 CPU and AMD HD 6970 graphics card. The other machine is my current gaming box in the office and has an AMD A10 (7850k?) APU and AMD R9 370 graphics card.

    Going to build a new machine later this year when AMD releases their new CPU architecture (very excited!). Might even get one of those discrete gpu cards for computing, something like: http://www.amd.com/en-us/products/graphics/server/s9300-x2 [amd.com] That way i don't have to stop folding to play games. Weekends are really bad for folding points : P

    AMD FX-8350: 8 cores at 4.0 GHz.
    32 GB DDR3 at 1600 MHz
    GeForce GTX 760
    Linux Mint 17.3

    I run FAH on both CPU and GPU. It runs in Light mode when I'm working and Full when I'm not at the computer. This would probably work better if the software would do this automatically, but it seems they can't detect idle in Linux, so I have to remember to do it manually.

    I unfortunately haven't really been able to fold much lately, but at my peak I was using:

    1. FX 8370e @ 4.6GHz, Radeon HD 7870, 16GB PC3 1600
    2. i7 860, 8GB PC3 1333 (GPU isn't supported by FAH software.
    3. A10 5700, 8GB PC3 1866.
