What is the Foldathon?
Every month we hold a Foldathon, or FAT for short. The FAT is a mad dash over a 2 day period where we fold on as much hardware as we can get a grubby fingers on and try to amass the most points possible. It is winner takes all. Okay, that's not true, but if you're lucky you might win something, probably not, but you will have made a honourable contribution to the science behind Folding@Home. What is that science you're probably asking, have a gander over here to learn more. All units crunched for team 37726 count, even if you can only manage to complete one unit, but if you're already a folder, there's no excuse for not folding for the full 48 hours
How it works:
Sign-up and run Folding@home for Overclock.net (team number: 37726) during the specified times. Those who Fold will be entered into a drawing to win the prizes listed below. If you still don't know what Folding@home is or need some help getting started, feel free to post here, make a thread in the Overclock.net Folding@Home Team forum or check this guide: FAHControl v7 for both CPU and GPU
You can verify whether or not you're signed up by looking for your name here in the member list.
If you don't submit any points during a Foldathon, you will be removed from the list, this is to push for active participation in the event.
You are required to re-sign up each month for the prize option, this is to hopefully push a little more active participation in the event as well and prevent prizes going to people who aren't active in the community.
When:
12:00EST / 16:00UTC Monday 22nd August 2016 - 12:00EST / 16:00UTC Wednesday 24th August 2016
Wish I had my i7-4790 under water but I am in with the FX 8120. Really would like to get the Haswell going this go round but stock Dell cooling won't cut it at this time of year.
Haven't tried folding just yet... they gotta be good at it tho. Yeah - uniblocks, but I'm a bit worried about a 3-day load with just fans cooling everything but the cores.
We use to have the Chimp Challenge and we have another (if someone could list it..please{I think a team run..I was on the BBQ team}) but I do know the Chimp Challenge went away.

Indeed we did have chimp challenge... Until the main organizer passed away. The other event is the Folding Forum Warfare (ffw) and those of us on team BBQ got to enjoy the glorious and tasty victory over those darn ponies this past event. Mmmm, BBQ'd magical pony - we told them we would BBQ them, just took an extra year to pull it off
