So, I’m working from home in my office and realized that I had my son’s old PC sitting in the corner. Later that night, I was watching Linus Tech Tips<\/a> and watched a video<\/a> on using Folding@Home<\/a> to help find a cure for the COVID-19 (Corona) virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My son’s old PC is an Intel i7-4790K with 16 GB RAM and an EVGA GTX 1070 Superclocked graphics card with a Corsair RM750i power supply and H75 AIO cooler. That seems like a bit of a waste just sitting there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I loaded up Linux Mint<\/a> 19.3 on the Samsung Evo 850 500 GB SATA drive and joined LTT’s F@H <\/a>team. (He’s also a Canadian so – Go Team Canada!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good thing it’s still cold outside. The CPU and GPU running at 100% could make it a little toasty…<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
