Folding Team Captian Wanted.

[Scott]

I am looking for a Folding Team Captian for the team. This would be somebody that is a Folding Member for Bjorn3D's team. They would help promote the team and answer questions for new folks joining the team that may have them.

If interested please post in the this thread.

Thank you,

Scott

Well, no one else seems to want it, I'm always on here anyway, and I'm adding to my arsenal soon (very i hope). Gimme the specs for the promotion part, and I'll do my best for it.
BTW, I thought sonic had this job, did he retire?

[Scott]

He did but he is not active much on the site and I do not see him Folding unless I am blind. The biggest thing for the Folding Capt. to keep update on new Folding news and post about them in the forums and just try to keep the team talking on the forums and motivated. Rainy weekend this weekend so I should be able to not have honey do's. So have to find boxes for the stuff. Found the cards and bubble wrapped them last night.

[Dr.MightySnake]

So we will be on one team ?

Also :

There is an idea for promotion : to create an universal name where every one can fold under , so it will be easy for people having PS3 to fold, and family members to support the folding.
(EVGApes the universal name for EVGA folding)

[Blacksmith1]

that's for the chimp chase, a once a year event where teams all fold under one name to see who hits 20 million the fastest.
if someone want's to fold under your name they can. I got a buddy who throws in with me every so often.
as far as i know the PS3 can be set for indvidual names, and team #'s, like any other folding client. We have several members who have mentioned using thier PS3 to boost thier points.

[swmeek]

That's about all good PS3's are good for at the moment until they get their online service fixed.

We already are on one team. the Bjorn3d.com team. #41608

[Dr.MightySnake]

I meant in term of organization, but we are a small team so I will assume we will be as one.

[Joshua_Mahr]

Your team is ranked 53. I would not call it a small team by any means.

[Blacksmith1]

we have 45 people (current active). for the last 2 years at least, we have averaged between 22 and 30, except for contests, which started being monthly this year. so, as stated, we are doing well for such a small team. we are beatting the virtual snot out of some teams that have over one hundred active folders. we are holding our own against some much larger teams. this is the beauty of having dedicated folding team members. and I am including the guys with low averages because they keep these averages steady. they give all they have to it. we have 2 members that have gone over 1 million using a single uniproccesor client.
that's what I call dedicated.
if you search the phrase "small team" on the main fourm list, you will see it pops up alot here at Bjorn3D. we're kinda proud of it. at the same time, I am by no means saying we wouldn't like to be a big team kicking Everybody's Butt on the team list.

[Joshua_Mahr]

I completely agree with your statement. Guess for me it is big my home team has only about 38 active users. Don't get me wrong I would like to consider this a home team for me also.

thanks for the mention, lately ive only been averaging 200 pts or 1WU a day, but I still feel that thats one WU a day closer to a cure for our loved ones. maybe soon I could get my folding stats significantly up again.

[Blacksmith1]

every little bit counts. I started with the UNI client because i didn't know i could run anything else. since then i have added every client i could get running.
looking at your sig i gotta wonder what's up tho.' I see 2 high point clents waiting to run right there. just that 470 doing one a days ( hr, hr and a 1/2 maybe) would up your points.

[James86]

every little bit helps out my wife just doesn't want the electric bill to be so high

[Blacksmith1]

I think that's what stops most peole from running more than one setup. It's my main concern with the rig i'm trying to build. I need at least 1000 xatts and the supplies i see that have enough connectors are 1200w and up. My current set up, which I want to leave folding, is 750w. FPL is gonna love me.

[Joshua_Mahr]

Black I am not trying to correct or sound like a know it all but why you need a 1000W Psu? I see your rig in your tag and it cant draw more than 500W or so.

Brief example. My folding rig 2600k 4.7ghz, 2 GTX570's, multiple HD's & SSD H70 & Kaze Fans and full bore folding only draws 580W from the plug(no correction). My HX850 dosent even break a sweat.

[swmeek]

He's wanting one for a setup with either 2 280's or the 9800 gx2 or a combination of both that he got off of Scott here the other day.

[Joshua_Mahr]

You could run all three cards at the same time with just a HX850.

[Blacksmith1]

I was running the gx2 with one of the 280's. I want to run all 3 280's and the gx2 in another rig and both 9800gt's in mine. I found a place that still has some foxconn destroyer boards.

using the pus calc in the gereal hardware thread it says i need high 600's-low to mid 700's watt's depending on where I tweak the settings for cap aging and such. that's based on using 2 280'2 or 2 gx2's so i figure if i put all four cards in one rig I want enough to run my M/B, cpu, those cards, 2-3 hdd's, a couple DVD r/w's my famn controller, multiple fans. and (with luck and some penny pinching) leave some head room for a water loop or 2 ( or 3 etc) i have no way to measure the actual draw ATM. I gues I could ask my roomate if he has something that will do it. he's an A/C mech with alot of toys for that job.
do you think my psu could handle 2 280's and one 9800gt? or 1 280, 1 gx2 and the gt? or even 3 280's? I found a triple sli asus for sale new.

[Joshua_Mahr]

Yes wattage wise it will work, but does it have enough pci-e power coming out. A 750 PSU should have enough connectors for 3 cards.

BTW Antec PSU calculator is about dead on.

http://www.antec.outervision.com/

[Blacksmith1]

that's the same one rebranded for them.
Ok it is a bit different. It says I can't run any 2 of the cards I have while folding full time.

[Joshua_Mahr]

Explain who says you cant fold on both cards?

[Blacksmith1]

the psu calc you posted says i can't run any 2 of the dual power connector cards. when I put 2 280's in sli it goes over 750. when i put 2 gx2 sli it goes over 750. this means it's saying I cant run both cards in any combo in my rig. not that they won't fold but that my psu is too weak.

[Blacksmith1]

ok after playing with it i find that even if I hook up my 550w for the HDD's, fans, and optical. it cant drive three 280's and the m/b-CPU with O/C or not. it's about 50-60 watts short.
so I'm thinkin that if i drive the M/b, fans, controler, etc with the 550, i could use the 750 just for the cards. it's an ungainly, ugly solution, but it would work till i can find an 850 or better.
I just need to figure out how to mount the extra PSU so that it cant be disconected accidentily.
thermal take sunami dream case, if anyone cares to take a stab at a mounting idea. Now I'm wishing I had one of those cases i saw that let you choose between top or bottom mount for the PSU.

[Joshua_Mahr]

What do your 280's draw wattage wise. they just have one pci-e(6-pin) power or two?

[James86]

I would prolly mount the extra PSU at the top with the power plug coming out the front of the case

[tigero]

well I will commend you for posting . If anyone is in need of help...

1) 6pin 1) 8 pin, so does the gx2, the 260's are 2)6pin
got the power wire layout figured out as well as the mount. thread in the benchmarks and mods forum
