just keep folding,
just keep folding,
just keep folding, folding, folding;
what do we do, we fold..

i joined u guys. using the x86 client (not the GPU one, dunno the proper name for it though..)

tried GPU folding with my gtx460, but seeing the temps going up to 63 degrees, i had to stop.. that's even higher that when i played crysis @ max! kinda scary.

just broke 1k score barrier!

folding on my i5 760 at stock speeds (2.8 GHz) using the normal client (x86)

i want to, but i still use my pc for watching movies + game + other stuff...

i plan to install the SMP client on my lab's pc, let it fold 24-7, see how it goes.

ok, just tried the SMP client on my pc, and i chose 80% cpu utilization.

from what i've read in the site, the SMP is a multi-core client right?

it's kinda weird bcoz out of the 4 cores i have, only core #4 is consistently over 40% usage. the rest is just 12, 15; and the occasional spike of 30-40%..

did i do something wrong in the config, or is it meant to be that way?

no, i didn't.. do i have to run the config again by restarting the client?

still looks the same to me...

if anything, core #4 is now steadying at 60+ %.

the -smp is entered at the "additional client parameters []" right?

ok, did that..

does yours look like this when running the smp client? i mean, the cpu usage (reconfigured it to use 100%).



i remember seeing one folder here in i7 with 4 concurrent clients, while i only have one. i suppose he used multiple clients (different working directory?)

The effect of not sleeping after 24 hrs:

@ diademz: i'm pretty sure i DLed the smp client... the size is less than 1 MB, correct?

i see i missed some steps there..

so what i should do is: create shortcut to desktop → r-click shortcut → at properties, i type in -configonly -smp ?

btw, i'm not starting the client as a service.

my gtx460 is all stock clock.. i don't see any need for me to OC it..

it's an Asus gtx460 TOP direct cu 1GB version. idles at 39 C, while folding it shoots to around the same temps as yours, 61-63C.

so here's what i did:



and this is what i get:

i didn't use the -bigadv flag, so shouldn't that be ok?

Finally, all cores engaged!



i think the previous task weren't compatible with smp, now i understand what "work type b4 not eligible for variable processors" means..

@ diademz, did you get a spike in temps when folding this:



currently mine's at 66 C, with a high-pitched buzz from my gpu.

'fraid i won't be continuing from here...

i think so, the WU before were all ok: temps 61-63, silent operation.

with this WU it jumped man! 66 C OMGWTFBBQ ayam sked...

jokes aside, i'd stick to smp for now..

attached is the fahlog.txt file..

i didn't knew i can set parameters for the systray client.. can i?

my 460 is this one:



it's not the temps that really worries me, it's the high pitched buzz.. did you experience the buzz when folding the 6811?

EDIT: you're running the same 460 right? may i ask, what PSU are you using now?

@ diademz: thanks for the information up there; appreciate it!

my PSU is a Corsair TX650, btw..

if the ASUS guys say it's normal, that clears some air of anxiety.. (a bit..)

in any case, i just found out that pressing the F-keys with the viewer can yield rather interesting results... for example:

nooo... imma using gtx460 bro..

so if u fold using gpu client ( ver. systray) open the viewer → press F5 → ????? → PROFIT!! (the nvidia logo turns to ati)

try to spam the f-keys, see what u got..

EDIT: F3 to F6 changes the viewer screen from nvidia to ati, the difference being the way the protein molecules are displayed. try it out..

open once in a while no problem i guess... just to see detailed progress, spin the molecules around, spam the f-keys..
