    Folding@home is tackling Corona Virus and needs our help. I now have the perfect use for my 1950x, our team is 213698.

    Thanks for the likes guys, I think this is a worthwhile usage. I did find that 1.4Vcore @4.0 GHz caused issues with video lock ups. I backed down to 1.2Vcore and 3.8 GHz and all became stable.

    Now that all is stable this machine is a folding monster. Already between the GPU and CPU it has just broken into the top 10 overall for the team. I should note I had about 72,000 credits before starting this machine folding.

    Not even 2 months with the 1950x and I am now #2 on the team list. This machine just crushes Folding@Home.

    --
    i also got hit w/ the dell (plundervolt roll out) minus -500mhrz fun! so a few obstacles to clear out before I can seriously team up w/ all I can...petty BS, but my machines should be doing constructive things at least while i sleep!
