yes, you need separate client for them.
CPU - uniprocessor client, smp client.
GPU - gpu client.

the uniprocessor client is their classic client with lower credit.
smp client and gpu client are high performance client with higher credit.

you can found high performance client here:

Setting up of SMP one is tricky ain't it?

hmm, actually not so tricky, just follow guide.

Too many words XD

The SMP one when loaded is only in cmdprompt rite? Wow, I think i'll stick to GPU only..my cpu is too hot.


*P.s I also dled the normal version. it only says Working (0/250)..is it running?

Firstly can you post your FAH log in this thread, put it in spoiler..
what cpu and gpu are you have there??
Is not so hard to install smp client..i try my best to help you..

Actually, I install finish already, thats why i say tricky...so many words XD

And I'm not using it already, I noticed my cpu temp would skyrocket, so Im using the uniprocessor one already, which is now at Working(117/250), so I guess its working.

GPU one ran fine instantly.

I'm running a i7-950 and GTX570, both purely stock.

Hello there.. i read the 1st post, and i still dont completely understand how this works. So what happens when i install the software.. im contributing my pc's idle time right, for what exactly? What would my pc's idle time be used for?

yes, the uniprocessor client is working.
but it is really great if you can use smp client,
since core i7 950 is a really fast cpu and can give you massive points.
the folding@home is a project created by reknowned Stanford University in the USA and its main purpose is to find cures for protein-related diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, cancer, Huntington's diseases, and others.

after install the software it will download work unit and start folding.
after the work unit have finish, it will send back the result to stanford.

Errmmm... I think the first post is quite clear leh. However, I think you can get a more clearer picture here : http://folding.stanford.edu/

Wait till I get a new cooler first, then I'll run the SMP.. 80+c when using the SMP.

GPU temps at around 60c coz i put fan almost to max

Welcome to F@M FauxHawk! Don't bother with the unirprocessor CPU client especially on your i7, you can still fold on your GTX570 until you get a better CPU cooler and try the SMP client.

If you have further questions about what F@H is about, please do post in the F@M forums instead.

See you there!

I think its nothing but why are the log time totally off? its 3.28 now and it says 19:26

maybe it follow the time in stanford there.

Seems like it's following london time but off by minutes...stanford in us rite?

Don't worry about the time, it is probably following their local time. IINM, Stanford university is in California, U.S.A.

I wonder if there's any difference if I use the SMP client instead of uniprocessor client for my desktop as my desktop just having one processor?

You have a 950 right? That's ONE 4-core, 8-thread processor, can run SMP with -bigadv that allow you to get huge amount of credits once you complete in the preferred time.
If you have a decent cooling for your rig and very nice air-cond room, you should use the SMP with -bigadv, it'll helps lots.

i see the newcomers really have nice rig compare to us..i hope we can help them to configure the client or we will lost a lootss of points..

Hmm too bad I'm using windows, so I guess the -bigadv method won't work?

bigadv only works in Windows - you'll need a passkey, and to qualify for bigadv you need to have folded 10 SMP WUs under the deadline first...do post in the F@M forum if you have any problems setting it up, we'll be glad to help!
