Note: Stats are updated as soon as possible, but less frequent than desired. Just keep folding!

 

Note: Extreme Team Members remember to use a different pass key than your ETF key.

 

Folding is stressful on hardware, and will often break an overclock unless it's been tested with folding. I do not recommend overclocking high end GPUs as the power draw can be extreme while folding. If anything, try tuning for energy efficiency. Casualties happen and EXTREMEHW can not be held accountable if you destroy your hardware while folding. 

 

Thank you for your participation!

Man wish my new electrical was done already. Could get the four 4090s going now. 

 

Two with the new cpu is pushing it on a 1600W PSU, so we’ll just have to roll with that

What y’all know about folding ? might come out of retirement …. 

[Alex]

Just got a new GPU and I can't use it until the 21st due to waiting on a waterblock, so this is badly timed for me haha.

I'll see if I can join with my CPU and 1080 Ti however!

 

 

edit - unless I pull out a cursed combo

A few of us know a thing or two... If you've been out of it for a while you'll be impressed by the PPD some of these newer cards are putting out

A single 4090 will put out 16-32mil ppd.  Varies greatly with the projects being folded.

Do it if you have the money. They are fantastic gaming cards too. If using stock cooler, the best ones seem to be the MSI Gaming X Trio and Zotac AMP Extreme.
