Well my name is now on the team list. But the previous 15 wu I have completed do not count! How sad

Was looking forward to being 2nd on the list. Anyway happy folding. I'm only on 1 wu now.

Then lower it to 75% or so during daytime. Much better than nothing.

Have you thought of toning down that overclock

or perhaps adding a better HSF?

**dragon2309** · 04-09-2006, 12:06 PM

at the moment my board is being a real pain, the PCI locks dont work, and i cnot overclock even a single Mhz, im currently running at stock 2.8Ghz.... depressing isnt it..... anyway, finished the 3rd WU, next pleas!!!!

and to get it to run in the daytime in my searingly hot room, i would have to lowerr CPU usage to around 10-15%, pretty pointless, as then it calculates WU time left and it say 146 days....

tweaker, yours runs only at 50% right? Or did you find a way to get more than one copy to run?

Setting up two instances is really easy. I'm going to wait though until I get better cooling (current solution is to noisy). So yes, only one core for now.

would you mind telling me how to do it? I tried installing it in a different directory but it wont run when the other one is running.

You must use the console version, heres a link that explains it.

Edit: Also, make sure to give each core a unique #.

Dragon:
1. What are you using for cooling? I had to cut a duct hole in my case to directly feed the CPU fan with a tube.
2. What is the room ambient temp, and what's your CPU temp when folding in this "searingly hot room"?
Using a duct, the hottest my CPU gets in an ambient 30°C room with high humidity, with stock heatsink and a quiet 29cfm fan is 48°C. Right now, in a 23°C room, it's 38°C.
If you don't want to cut holes, then you're going to need to move a LOT of air through your case.
