Folding@Home: CF Official Discussion Thread

I've joined up as 'OffTheStern', why I chose that name I'll never know but this core has reset itself at least twice, and with 5000 frames it could be a while.:eek:
 
I dont get it....on one computer i set it to 100% CPU and it does 100% on the CPU....on my C2D OC 3Ghz it wont let me do 100% when i set it there....only goes up to 55%.....why?????????
 
It's the way the client works at present, although I'm hoping they'll bring the SMP client out for Windows (Mac and Linux Only atm.), which lets me thrash my processor.:)
 
heya

The SMP client is meant for server motherboards which can house Several physical processors. In other words, not dual-core, but rather dual-processor (of which each can be dual-core too).

JAN :D
 
You can run it on a dual core processor, actually. It is recomended that you have 4 logical processors. The Intel Core 2 Duo series can run it. You just have to be running Linux. The PPD for SMP is really high because of Bonus WUs. Overclocked Core 2 Duos are getting over 1000PPD with some WUs.
 
IT WONT WORK! IT KEEPS SAYING ITS AN INVAID PATH!!!! WTF??????? HELP!!! THIS IS STARTING TO GET ON MY NERVS!!!!!!!! THE DUMB cmd THING DOESNT WORK!!!!!! IT WONT EXEPT THE PATH!!!!!!!!!!! BETTER INSTRUCTIONS WOULD SHUR BE APPRISIATED!!!!!!!!
 
Well

well, i jumped from last to 71st place in just 4 days! wow! Still want help on how to do dual core :mad:

ADE, I do not see what the problem could be. I suspect that you are forgetting something in the way.. if only I knew what. I wish I had a dual-core to set it up myself. Try contacting a F@H user that has a dual-core (Perhaps Jet - he has a lot of experience with dual-core folding). Either way, your input is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

:mad: Now my Zalman 9500 fan is starting to squeal.... :(

Ouch. Why do you reckon it's doing that? I am still using my stock and have not had problems. The Zalman should last longer if you ask me.

JAN :D

ADE, are you trying to use the Console version or the GUI? The only way that you can fold with both cores is to use the Console version. During set-up, you need to go down through the settings, and when it comes up for "change advanced settings", enter yes. The very last entry is for the ID number. With folding and dual core systems, one client has to be ID#1 and the other ID#2.

Example: I have 3 clients on my computer. Even though they aren't running at the same time, they all have to have different ID numbers. My GPU Client is #1, my main CPU client is #2, and my backup CPU Client is #3.

And Jan, my fan seems to just have been temporarily squealing. Maybe because of how cold it was in my room: 6.9C :)
