Ya...that's a cool program I like it

Temps are good and I am crushing WU I am averaging between 7,900 and 8,400 PPD right now depending on the WU. I have had a couple up around 9,000.



GPU @ 685MHz and running a cool 57c

CPU will barely break 50c under full laod

10,000,000 here we come

I actually tried 2 times...followed instructions to the letter on overclock.net and the F@H forum. It would never work right for some reason

That sucks... It worked the first time for me, had to say i was impressed when i saw it crunch a WU in 2 hrs less time than windows, and only on 2 cores (As vmware player only utilizes 2 cores so i gotta run an instance per 2 cpu's) Id try this guide, its the one i used: (hardest part is getting the ip address of the vm lol)

Just started folding. (finally) I was wondering if it uses all 4 of my cores automatically, or if I have to make it do that. Also, I have SLI running, so I want it to use both of my gpu's. Do I need to run 2 instances of F@H for it?

You need to disable sli and run them independantly Read"About multi gpu support"
http://folding.stanford.edu/English/FAQ-ATI2#ntoc17

You need to run the SMP client to use all four cores. You would need to download the smp client,Its a console based client, and when it asks for advanced flags give it -smp.(you would set flags under the Advanced features when it asks "Change advanced features?")

[just a noob]

not sure that i'll be able to run f@h 24/7, maybe just when i'm away, i've got a whiney coil on my gtx 285(probably doesn't help that it has no case, and is like 1 foot away from my ears)

I'm sure I could get #3 or 4 for 24 hour average. Just need to figure out how... stupid SLI.

If i was folding here it would basically double the teams output Ive been folding around ~14k ppd with my rig plus a ps3. Sry guys..the evga bucks and random giveaways won me over.

I am disappointed with you...eVGA...come on They don't need any help. Have you won anything yet? I didn't think so

As far as the eVGA bucks...I could understand if you were cranking out 30,000+ PPD or more.

Look at the bright side...you can Fold for like 9 months and the eVGA bucks will get you 1/4 of a x58 Classified motherboard! Now that's a deal if you ask me I don't know why everybody does not do this
