... So, I'm out of retirement and just finished my first WU in a very long time.
Great ! Welcome back !

An example folding PPD's
An example of the PPD's for i7-3930K CPU & 4 x Asus GTX Titan GPUs
~244210 PPD

I would not complain about your 65k PPD without using the GPU's. Optimum CPU virtual cores assigned to folding appear to be N-2. I certainly couldn't afford 4 Titans & the power bill for this machine.

4 Titan with Core 17 should give you > 150kPPD each; that would be some 600kPPD on GPU only.
And yes, the room heat increase while you account melt ...
But we are sliding a bit offtopic now between GPU and CPU folding

No... not even close. You'd barely be able to pay back the cost of the electricity to run the machine at "full pelt."
But if it's a work machine and somebody else is paying for the electricity, you might earn enough to buy a sandwich....
You're probably going to have to run your software on IBM Blue Gene/Q, which can achieve a peak 20 petaflops, to exceed Folding@home's 18 petaflops.
GPU folding gets you more points. Nvidia is better too but only is available in Windows.
I haven't folded with the w3690 as I just leave the Titans for that when I'm not using it for other things. Them together brought me upwards of 300,000 PPD.
Lucky me you don't fold 24/7
Oh, and those Nvidia cards fold perfectly with Linux too (no AMD GPU with Linux yet because of driver quality). I have ubuntu with two GTX 780 cooking 280kPPD depending not the WU
(Hey, we should move over to DC)

Yeah you're lucky lol.
I haven't been folding lately because of the latest Nvidia Surround drivers causing BSOD when I try to run bezel correction
I've been down for a week or two. Hopefully I'll be back and running soon.That and I've been shutting down my computer because of Mavericks crashing. Not a good time to have a Mac Pro I guess lol. I even thought opening a local ad and of seeing if someone would possibly trade for a nMP. 3.46 hex, 48GB 512SSD 2TB Titan SLI could be enticing...

Really that's considered slow?
I built a 32-core Opteron dedicated folder a few years ago and it didn't hit 60k PPD for sure!
Also it used too much power and I was paying through the nose for power. It did make for a nice space heater in the winter though!

All those Cores and you didn't get this basic score?!
Mate that was years ago, and quad dodeca opteron was considered the best folder then. Don't think it's the case now?!
