. Seems interesting... Ima help out a lil .

I believe it may be in the High Performance Client section found below the page of the link.

* Yes it is certainly at the High Performance Client section.

Am using the GPU folding client now . The CPU client was getting my whole processor maxed out and lagging everything .

Off Topic : Luckily I haz teh wonderful Zalman Z-Machine GV1000 cooler for my card or it'd go kaput . 95% load all day long.

Just a question. Do you keep your computer on 24/7 for Folding@Home or you turn it off when you're done using it?

Have any of your PC components failed due to the intense load put on them? .

Am doing the Alzheimer's DI work now . Another 4 hours to go. But I think Ima shut off in two hours time.

Ah. This does answer why I don't see any of my own contributions even when completing one work unit at the page. Now I see it after getting Fahmon. Thanks .

Perhaps you may have downloaded a wrong version of Fahmon. Try going back and checking again .

... Have you tried compatibility options? Are you using Windows 7 or Windows XP?

In that case, have you tried compatibility options, administrator privileges option? .

In that case, have you already tried re-installing the whole thing? .

Well... that's pretty strange.. .

I am using Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits myself too, and I had no problems using it for the first time.

Have you tried deleting any traces of the Fahmon files ( manually deleting files that aren't deleted through the Control Panel's uninstaller ) before initiating an re-install again?

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.

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.

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 . )

You will need to use both of the Folding@Home application.
One would be for the processor, which would be in the link on the first post on the first page.

The other one is in the "High End Clients section".

. Sorry. I am folding, but not very quickly. . I am not allowed to turn the computer on for 24/7. And for electric bill concerns, I am doing it just a few times a week. .

Just completed my third work unit, and would be doing a fourth one soon .

Many people tend to think that having their web browser(s) open with multiple tabs and with Windows Live Messenger and et cetera running while playing their games requires a processor like an Intel i7 to handle. . They're unfortunately ill-informed and in most situations you cannot do anything to correct them on their thought as they're dead set on it. The salesmen at PC shops also often mislead people into believing such silly things like the situation that your friends are in.

Well, if they're not keen on helping out, then there's no point in trying to convince them anymore. You might even get them to label you as an annoyance if you keep trying to get them to do something they're not interested in and something that they have no idea of what's it about.

Look for some other friends, preferably those who are interested in computers to try persuading them. The friends you talked about above are unfortunately computer illiterate based on what you said.

I'll apologize for that because I'm plagued with a lot of work this year, and also high electrical costs. . I'll probably start again soon though once my work clears.
