Ultimate Guide To Folding@home

[sr10]

Current projects

You obviously haven't had a DGROMACS or a QMD yet either.

finishd 1 wu.dont see myself on the members list :huh:

Congrats Everyone!!!




















We survived the Guides section :lol:

yeah, clockers pretty sklow at the mo, but i was finding it hard to ctach up with him. hes only slow the now as hes working on sprocket, and now its sprockette i think.

i may be looking into running my 2500 overclocked, when i look into better cooling, and maybe a mobo upgrade, as mine doesnt support vcore changes.

do you use the -forceSSE switch on ur amd machines?

 

[girlygirl94]

well Im done im frist package its was a 400 wu it took me 3 days to get it done. Im onto p563_BBA5_ext Its a Genome so I guess the things i put into the target worked because ive been doing this one for about 3hrs now and its 30/250(12%). I will never be in the top 10 but who cares im help out thats all that matters.

Ahh, thanks for clearing that up for me Lynx, it just seemed rather odd that it was taking longer to work on a faster processor. lol

After the first WU, they seem to be going much faster now. The Gromac tags really do help alot!

i was thinking if this thread got moved or not:lol:

Sounds about right...those 400 WU's take a long time...

yes u are right they take a long time because they are TINKERS not GROMACS.....

:lol:

 

[Angie223]

Yeah, I believe so. I can see it go up to 65% (when the task manager first opens) but FAH only uses 50% of it.

Either way, even if it is only 50% it is still a lot faster then my old one

wonderful prog, I on it now with k-lite team. I think it is great and will try to 24/7 it as my grand pa has cancer

Sorry to hear that.
That's why we must do anything we can and find that cure...

[scouse2004]

do the dgromacs, ambers and qmd,s use different cores, just checked my install directory and i only have cores 65 and 78

 

[villagirly]

Ah, got "Extra SSE boost OK" now.

Wonder what difference it will make.
It might keep Lamsey behind me for just a little bit longer.

 

[Zombie King]

It was just a thought.

What sort of crash is it? BSOD, reboot or just freeze?

I used to find that my system would just freeze when running F@H, until I raised Vcore. Other than that it was usually alright, except if it got fairly hot after about an hour of game playing, and then the same thing would happen. Cured that problem too.

Virtualbody1234, where did you get 11 CPUs. you now have 7 folding and had 11 in last 50 days.
where'd you get so many? hmy:

 

[RIP MJ (miss you)]

Sweet using the -forceSSE switch speed up my folding quite a bit.

 

[ninjalette]

try updaating your graphics driver,

has it always done this? or just recently?

 

[Pooja P]

moving up the ranks fast

 

[Reagan.]

Slinger,

Especially when you're folding Gromacs your CPU-temp can go up quite a bit.
For me this was a serious problem as I'm addicted to "silent computing" too, having a low airflow rig etc.

When you fold (and you should when you have your rig running anyway), keep an eye on those temps.

EDIT:

Motherboard Monitor is fine freeware to keep an eye on your CPU and HDs.
Regard the 65 degrees Celsius mark for your CPU as a border you shouldn't cross.

Han.

coming up for 3000 WU's and 100,000 points.
9wu's to go and 1355 point to go

edit: also congrats to VB and Rocktron for 5000 points, and tracydani for 1000
