And something weird....

It seems my RAM is hotter than my CPU when folding.

on your lappy or desktop?

Lappy.

But that's just how it feels.


*I see we are in top 5000.

The individual stats can be found if you're running the GPU client by right clicking on the icon in the system tray and selecting status then either User Stats for personal stats or Team Stats to view rankings of members in the team.

lol, well, my server is still grinding away at that one core. Slowly, but surely. ...just give me a sec...I want to get my other systems up and running before I go to bed.

[farlo]

contributing now.

Yup, not only did we fly into the top 5k, there is NO-ONE catching us, and our production rate is still accelerating - we're doing great IMO for a new team

Well, I got my main system working and started folding. 1090T and dual GTX260's (one 216, one 196). I'm not sure the the smp flag is working or that both my cards are being used..any way to check that?

[SXRguyinMA]

use whatever card monitoring program. ATi cards you can check the usage and temps right through CCC, my 6870 is staying between 70-72ºC with 85-95% usage and no more than 32% fan speed

Scrap any and all folding clients that you're currently using (you MIGHT want to let them finish any part-done WU's first if you don't want to waste the time spent so far, then download FAH GPU Tracker v2. When installed, this will automatically re-download the CPU, SMP, GPU2 and GPU3 folding software, and will present you with a single interface for all of them - you can then have the program auto-detect GPU's and it SHOULD then pick them up and configure them (as GPU3 with Nvidia Fermi).

The GPU3 client gets the most points but it DOES use a chunk of CPU ability too - as a result you might want to do the following.

When you get back to the main screen, you simply click on Start All Clients and it'll go - it should (almost) immediately show you the clients it is running. Personally, I'd try going GPU only for an hour, then GPU and CPU to see what gets you the better results. I have a Q6700, Radeon 4870 and Nividia GTS250 in my main system and I've found that running CPU folding actually slows down the GPU folding by enough that the points I get from the CPU are less than the points I lose from the GPU, so now I only fold on the two GPUs and don't CPU fold at all.

Different systems may well produce different results but my own experience with my system (which I appreciate is substantially less powerful than yours) has resulted my setup.

I now get roughly 11k ppd on this one computer whereas it was around 9.6k when CPU was enabled...
