Folding@Home: CF Official Discussion Thread

since im not cool enough to have the fanci-fied version i just have the console but do i need to keep that window open for F@H to keep going?
 
alright i really wish i had a better computer as far as, everything goes...
i gotta save my money unless some one has some parts i can take off their hands for a price of nothing? :P
 
CopperKid, it is actually better to use the Console version; it has less problems with running other programs at the same time. If you wish, you can install F@H as a service, and then it won't be on your taskbar. However, you can't monitor it quite as easily then.
 
MY folding has stopped for the past week or so. My laptop is broken right now and I have to wipe it and re-install. But I'll be back!
 
so by as a service you mean that it runs in the back ground all the time unless i exit it?

By that I mean that it will just be viewable in the Task Manager, and nowhere else. You can't check up on it nearly as easily. What I do, is use the Console Client, and then I use Trayit to put my clients in the system tray instead of on the taskbar portion. It cleans up the area.
 
The race is coming to a close! Superpetrik has 99,797 points, and Grey410 has 99,524. It shall be close, ladies and gentlemen!One more WU could finish it off for either contestant!

EDIT: 99,797 for Superpetrik and 99,524 for Grey410! It is down to the wire!

I was playing around on newegg.com and came up with this nice folding rig:



3 X1950XTXs (probably over 900PPD each) plus one one Q6600 core (around 300PPD) = 3000PPD. That would be a lot of folding power for just one computer :). The total was just under $3000 excluding Windows and monitor/key/mouse.
 
Congratulations to Superpetrik, who is the first Folder from Computerforum.com to have 100,000 points!

Now, the X1900XT 512MB might actually be running stable :). Ironically, it only works at stock clocks for folding if I lower the voltages from 1.425V to 1.225V! I had tested everything, and then decided to test what would happen with lower voltages. Every time I lowered the voltage, it would go a bit longer before EUEing. At 1.225V, it got all the way to 27% before EUEing. At 1.2V, it is unstable again because of too little voltage. So, I have lowered the clocks just a bit to 600mhz on the core, and we'll see tomorrow morning how it works out :).

While this has certainly been a long time in setting this up, it is well worth it :). Most likely, it will be getting 700PPD at these clocks. Add to it my 100PPD for my CPU, and "Jet" might be Dark Orange for the first time :).

Btw, Congrats to Grey410 for such a high PPD these last 7 days. He has put in over 9000 points!
