You will need FAHMON to have your stats published, if I'm not mistaken. That's how I found mine, after getting Fahmon . Before that, even completing one work unit doesn't get me any statistics recorded.


. My 9800GT is stressed to 55C ~ 57C with the fan turned to the lowest.

Ima afraid if all of a sudden it succumbs to the load and dies . I will have problem claiming warranty then due to the replaced cooler .

@karthyhu

You do not need FAHmon to have Folding@home running, I believe without it you won't get your scores published though.

hmm....ur card temp is quite low le, how come mine can go up to 87'c+ ? this temp is similar to 3d gamin....

finally found out my antivirus block it.
another question:
what is ns/day refer to?

since i cant get it to work....
i wont start folding....

why FahMon there, the ETA show *Hung* for all client?

Good morning everyone!

Great responses so far. I see that many have already submitted WUs as shown on the stats page :


Well done! I have also created a welcome thread at the F@M forums - please take all your discussions there, and please introduce yourselves to the F@M community!

Now to answer all your existing queries :

wildwestgoh, if you have followed the default config options your gfx card will be utilised 100% - if this is too much then feel free to reduce the utilisation via right-click -> Configure and adjust the slider accordingly. Even at 100% utilisation I find that my gfx card temp is still lower than gaming or stress-test tools like Furmark.

The viewer is nice to see what the protein looks like, that is all it does.

TDUEnthusiast, you do noeed FAHmon to check your stats on the stats page - it is automatically uploaded to Stanford, and then EOC picks it up and processes it and updates it in its own stats page. FYI the stats are updated on an hourly basis so it always lags a little.

Your 9800gt is running very cool then! Nice! My 8800gt running 24/7 gets up to 75C at 100% load, which is still ok. The Nvidia GPUs are spec'ed to run up till 90C so no worries about the temps. Again, if you're worried about the temps then feel free to dial back the GPU utilisation to e.g. 50%.


Great work saturn85! I see your contributions already in the stats page.

karthyhu, your stats are already showing up the page. As to why FAHmon is not working, let's take this discussion in the F@M forums - can you please create a new thread and post the error messages? It would be a pity to lose your contribution...

saturn85 Sometimes that happens especially when you access a client via a network drive, just reload the client and it will be ok.


Great responses so far guys! Please take all discussions into the F@M forums so we can keep it there and introduce you guys to our existing members.

Fold on!

hmm... been reading folding for quite some time but i never actually bother. but since i open my pc for torrent nearly 24/7, might as well join in the fun and help out.

so, i got few questions:
1. my home pc specs are below, so should i use the i7 to fold or 5850 to fold? last time i heard there's no support for ATI to fold, is there any now?

2. i'm torrenting, will folding affect my speed?

3. while working, the pc's torrenting at home in my room, and usually i only on a fan. usually i'll open up the window for better air flow, but sometimes no coz my neighbour is doing renovation, kinda dusty. so, if i use 5850 to fold, it's going to be 95% load at all times right? mine's a reference heatsink, will that be sufficient? i scare the card overheat while i'm away, and died or get into some troubles. and burn my pc, and my house

Well... I believe the ATi card can be used to fold now, and yes, perhaps fold on your i7 as well since it's pretty fast .


As for any overheating issues, either set the GPU maximum load to 70% or lower when away or set the fan speed to at least 70% constant. You won't be there anyway, so you don't have to face any noise.

That is some serious h/w you have there - I have reposted your question in the F@M forums here. See you all there!

I am on my way folding my second work unit now . However, I think I will fold a few times a week and not daily for power consumption issues ( my monthly electric bill reaches up to RM500 and will get worst since it's holiday time for me now and I can't stand the heat . )

Well done TDUEnthusiast! Sure, whatever you're comfy with. Remember that it's also a form of charity (helping find cures for these diseases), and the competition and fun comes next

Nevertheless, we are glad to have you onboard. Fold on!

I'm going to fold with my GT220 for now, no point letting idle while i torrent and host my own stuff.

Great to hear that Eric! Let us know if you have problems in the F@M forums....fold on!

I'm having little problem with my rig , my nVidia GT220 from Galaxy been running driver'less all the while and once i install either devdriver 3.2 or 260.99 desktop driver and folding GPU keep on popping out said my GPU is not supported

I did check on nVidia website and GT220 is CUDA enable graphics, is there anything i forgotten to setup?

I already tweak my gpu 8800gt to its maximum capability without any problem on folding.
I use folding as a benchmark to test my card stability so yeah did not fail at all
if you are worry , just use stock clock. do not oc if you unsure or you want to save the hassles

happy folding

currently not in hometown and studying, cant fold, later bill expensive

GT220 is definitely supported! Try uninstalling the existing Nvidia drivers, and reinstalling the latest? What OS are you using? If you still can't fix it please post in the F@M forums. Will get everyone to help you there!

Windows 7, tried un-install and use driver sweeper to clean those old drivers.

That's very strange then. Could you please post a GPUZ screenshot after the drivers are installed? You are using the latest GPU client also?

Yes, both desktop and driver are the latest i can find in nVidia website.

Devdriver + GPU-Z

Desktop Driver + GPU-Z

this few day damn hot, only fold after midnight...
