Folding@Home: CF Official Discussion Thread

Weird or what?

hint: look at ppd
 
Wondering if someone could help me. The majority of the time when my computer is idle and I'm folding CPU usage in Windows Task Manager will only be just above 50% and when I look at Core Temp it might show 25% on one core and 75% on the other. But if I open the display both cores go up to 100% but only for about 30 seconds then the display starts to lag a bit and it goes back to 50% but if I move the mouse it jumps back up to 100% :confused::confused: Its very confusing lol.
 
CPU and GPU (sorry not sure if you want more information then that) but it does it even with the GPU client turned off.

Which CPU Client are you using? In order to fully utilize all of your cores, you need to run the SMP Client--not the standard one.
 
Ok so I'm doin the VMfolding (using virtual box) and I set everything up, got past all the points until the Fahlogin is required..
So I enter in my FAH username, and then my password (I got my password from the FAH site, which they emailed me the long code for as my password) and I manually entered in the code (about 4 times now) and it stills says invalid login.. what am I doing wrong?

Your network settings might need to be changed. Shut down the VM and try a different network setting.


Luke, VMWare Player is free and is faster than VirtualBox

Got it working again just got setup fahmon again


Underclocked my 8600gt to keep temps down and managed to get a few more ppd out of it. It seems that underclocking makes the client work harder which, produces more ppd.
 
So how powerful of a GPU does it take to run this? I've got an unused ATI Rage 128 (32MB) in the AGP slot...or alternatively, a free Geforce(see sig) in a PCI slot. Fail, I know.

edit: nevermind...finally found it on the FaH site. I'm not even close. :(

Maybe it was throttling before because of heat? FYI, the only important frequencies to GPU folding are the shader ones--try underclocking the core/memory and overclocking the shader for best performance.

Heat before underclocking was never above 52c im just anal when it comes to temps

Got it down to about 48c tops now
 
Wow

Hey guys, as you may remember, I am one of the founding fathers of folding for computerforum's team :-) I am so glad to see that this forum and OUR TEAM is still alive and thriving. Keep up the great work and expect to see me here more often from now on :)

JAN :D

Yep...it sure is thriving! I'm expecting to hit 100k here in the future :D. Just need one more i7 and we're there!
 
Sweet

If you go to the EOC stats, you'll notice there are only 4 people that will overtake us!

I saw that, amazing progress :-) I am currently folding only on one PC. However, I am definitely gonna get more PCs to fold on. I will start with my sister's PC ;)

Sorry I've taken so long to reply, I've been away.

I can't remember which one I downloaded now but I'll download and install the SMP Client anyway just to make sure. Thanks for that.
