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.
*
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. wink.gif

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?
*
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. biggrin.gif

ya
the progress bar and the time left..
no name no progress no bar no time left
just hang like that
but when re run can continue...
it's problem related to GPU?

QUOTE(nzxkore @ Jan 30 2011, 01:09 AM)
nah stopping CPU fold do GPU fold only...scary -.-!
ppd? errr... where can i get it? sorry just started few days... all i know fold only..ahahah
eh right side...hmm both la biggrin.gif
*
the viewer is known as unstable.
i try bsod when open the viewer before.
so usually also not open the viewer.
just let the folding run. biggrin.gif

but hope you can continue cpu folding, since smp client give a lot point also. brows.gif

do you install any folding monitoring tools like fahmon and HFM.net? brows.gif

I run both CPU and GPU Client.
Using AMD Phenom II X4 and AMD HD 4870.
Using Windows 7.
Mostly,it stuck on "attempting to get work packet"

haha, AMDFusion is you? brows.gif
hmm, internet problem?

i only read until 2nd page so..if someone asked before, sorry ya..hope can clarify it again.

im new to this folding stuff. i google about it tho for further understanding. until now, some things still quite a mystery which i think, try 1st then ask tongue.gif im interested to participate.. maybe on cpu not gpu since using 2nd hand gpu coz my gts250 still waiting for warranty to return. cpu i7-920 only.. hope that gonna help

my question is, will folding eat up my internet bandwidth? im using wimax so there are capped bandwidth, not like streamyx..
*
yea, suggest you run smp client on your core i7 920. brows.gif
ya, folding won't eat up the internet bandwidth, just like bro EricCYL mention.

@saturn85: after i did all this below, then? give me links to what i shall do next.
my rig: win7 home premium 32bit, i7-920 currently with crap gpu. option i change is 'do not lock core'..
well, now i assume its running since my cpu gadget seems so busy but i still not sure. what else?
edit: how can i know whether it use my cpu or gpu? i hope this thing wont touch my crap gpu  sweat.gif
*
hold on bro.
you should download the smp client, available here: brows.gif
http://folding.stanford.edu/English/DownloadWinOther
at the bottom of the page there:
Drop-in binary for current Windows SMP2 console client (6.30). nod.gif

installation guide here:
http://folding.stanford.edu/English/WinSMPGuide
make sure you enter -smp in Additional client parameters []?. nod.gif

and don't worry, smp client won't touch gpu.
you can check cpu usage using task manager.
and check gpu usage using gpuz or msi afterburner. biggrin.gif

after download Folding@home-Win32-x86.exe,
1. i create new folder under c:\users\ran1337\FAH.
2. i place Folding@home-Win32-x86 under \Fah folder.
3. rename Folding@home-Win32-x86 to fah6 (optional,but i did).
4. i run cmd, there is C:Users\user> so i type fah6 -configonly -smp ( C:Users\user>fah6 -configonly -smp )
5. i got 'fah6' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

what went wrong?
*
i see. hmm.gif
i think in the cmd, you have to change directory to:
c:\users\ran1337\FAH>fah6.exe -configonly -smp

oh forgot to tell, when it ask me Additional client parameters, when i enter -smp, it crashed. tried 3 times. then i restart pc, try again & crashed for the 4th times. so i skip[enter]. i thought i dont have to put that since early on the cmd, already put -smp?

what should i do now?
*
wah, how come can crash one. sad.gif
hmm, you are using a shortcut to launch the client?

for the client,no.
for the cmd, steps i took:
everything from username until before additional client parameters,all as suggested. for Additional client parameters, i cant set "-smp -configonly". when i insert '-smp -configonly' those cmd crashed/not working/window try to find solution  hmm.gif

i should type "-smp -configonly" w/out bracket, right? if yes, after i hit enter, it crashed.
*
hey, DO NOT enter -configonly into Additional client parameters []?.
only enter -smp into Additional client parameters []?. nod.gif

is this normal? so many attempt
btw, i change core to 70% only for this. sorry if u expect from me more tongue.gif
for the 1st time it work just before this, i put 100. its really scary to hear the sound of my v8 fan + cpu gadget all maxed out. i left it & try to sleep but then i feel like im gonna die if my pc explode
*
yes, you are running smp work unit now. rclxms.gif
the many attempt maybe because the server temporary down. unsure.gif

since you are using core i7 920 with 4 core 8 thread,
maybe you can use -smp 7 or -smp 6 flag instead of lower down the cpu usage to 70%. brows.gif

-smp 7 means you only allow the smp client to make use of 7 thread out of 8 total thread.
same goes with -smp 6. biggrin.gif

yea, i see. also can, as you wish. nod.gif
from your stat page, notice that you are running uniprocessor work unit instead of smp work unit.
so suggest you to run smp client on your Phenom II X4.
smp work unit give much more point compared to uniprocessor work unit. brows.gif

how is your HD4870 PPD? brows.gif

ok i have fahmon now.i added my client to the list.i have to run fah6 or just reload from fahmon?
if have to run fah6, is there any way i can hide the cmd?
if just need to reload,seems like its not working.i press reload from fahmon, nothing happen.
i google for fahmon faq but currently nothing i found helpful
*
i think have to start fah6 manually.
not reload from fahmon.
maybe you can make the smp client run as service in back ground. unsure.gif
