Ultimate Guide To Folding@home

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?

Lamsey....look out, Linx will soon be overtaking you... :) You will have to add another processor I am afraid :lol:
He he, I've already got another processor waiting to go into service as soon as I've got my water cooling sorted out (and a little more space). :lol:
 
if your machine has sse commands, then go to your startup folder, and alter then folding at home run command, and add the -advmethods switch, this should give u mostly gromacs, which use optimisations, where as the tinker core doesnt, thats why they are slower.
 
Ok, was chatting about this with a friend on tha Chat.

Apparently this app might heat up the CPU if left alone,
any opinions on that?

I will install some CPU-temperature-controlling software now,
just to make my PC to shut down if it heats up too much.

:cool2:
 
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.
 
dose eny1 know about overclocking ?How dose it work?do i need a prog?to check my cpu heat level do i need a senser?sorry to ask so much Q's but i want to learn about this stuff. :D
 
I've just joined in the fun...

Cpu=P4 2,5

Errr, dumb question: I've got a laptop so I won't let it on 24/7 (more like 16 hours a day) because I don't want it to overheat... Is that bad? :unsure:
 
lol lynx and ariel u guyz dont need to do all tht....

just download the FAH ONE-CLICK and edit the .cfg and put ur name...and with one click it will installl as a service...

(i use this for borging other computers :lol: ;) )

To Install Folding the easiest and fastest way on a Windows XP/W2K machine, use the One-Click Install:

If you are running XP/XP Home/W2K(all versions) on a single cpu computer, do this:

1. Download the One-Click FAH Install (New Client and New Core)here .
2. Unzip the file to a floppy or to a directory (folder) on the desktop.
3. Edit the client.cfg with notepad and change "Wedo" to your folding username. Only use notepad to edit the client.cfg as WordPad, Word, or any other word processing program will mess up your config file!
4. Click the .exe file.

Poof, your folding.

To get other's to fold for you with this:

Download the zip file, edit the client.cfg using notepad, re-zip the file, email the .zip file to everyone and talk them through unzip and click of the .exe file.

or....

Copy the .exe and edited client.cfg to a floppy/cdrom/pen drive and give them to everyone on the planet (except me, I already have it).

You get the idea....



To Install Folding the easiest and fastest way on a Dual CPU or a P4 with HT machine running Windows XP or W2K:

You will do everything noted in the above section except use the Dually/HT version of the One-Click:

The Dually version, OC-FAH-Dually.exe can be downloaded here .

The only other change is that there are two client.cfg files to edit, both of which need your username (again, use notepad to edit this file). The client.cfg's have different names, but don't worry, when you hit the .exe after editing the One-Click changes the names of the files and copies them into the correct directories.
