Folding@Home: CF Official Discussion Thread

[Motoxrdude]

O ok cool. Yeah I stopped folding on my ps3. At 21 cents per kilowatt hour (which is generous because it gets up to about 35 cents typically), it would cost about $280 a year to run my ps3 non stop. Once i build a new pc i will run the gpu client because my computer will be on anyways.

A clean single core rig is more than sufficient

True. I'm so used to discussing duals and quads, I often forget single cores exist.

-- dont drink too much of the koolaid

Barcardi, actually.

I haven't been able to fold with my PS3 lately... why? I DON'T KNOW! For some reason I can't find Folding @ Home anywhere on it anymore!

Ughhh.

 

[kobaj]

Hehe, I've only been having two of my family pc's folding and they have kept me in the top 20 for cf, nice!

Im thinking of making my main rig fold while Im asleep or something !

Keep up the good work guys!

Ughhh.

It's at the bottom of the network things, I'm sure it's still there!

Oh, and it's changed names to playstation live, or something, crap..

Nice work, Kobaj. Our team is really kicking ass. If everyone with a G80 or better nVidia GPU, or even Radeon 38xx series or better card were folding, we'd be in the top 300 in no time.

Kagome-- Go to Network, scroll down and click on F@H (as Buzz stated).

Is it possible to be on 2 teams? I'm debating between CF or Maximum PC.

EDIT: Went with CF

let's put it this way:

If you join maximum PC's squad...your cf account would mysteriously disappear.

haha I was afraid that harsh consequences would occur

What clients are you using? You can run the SMP CPU client and the GPU client with your 9800GT. I'm running both at the moment without any issues.

 

[Calibretto]

I'm running the version with the GUI, not through the console.

 

[Calibretto]

I just got a virus and it said it was from the Folding@Home.....?????

The virus was called the Nutcracker Family...

OH. The name changed. Okay. Thanks. Hah.

 

[Calibretto]

Is my F@H working ok? It says "Attempting to get work packet" and it's been like that since yesterday...

I hate to be Mr. Obvious, but, obviously you are being punished because you were doubtful of whether or not to join the CF squad.




Really though, i have no idea. Just reinstall it. Did u follow all of jan's rules?

You mean ian? not jan Yes I tried to follow the instructions in the sticky but the version he demonstrates with is out of date and has since been a better version so it's a little different.

 

[mep916]

Sorry for the delay, Craig. Uninstall your current SMP client. Later, I'll post back with detailed instructions for installing the 5.91 beta6 client.

 

[Calibretto]

Ok thanks for helping me out Mike!

Update: I uninstalled and started over again by installing the console version. A few questions though:

- It says it's "writing local files" while showing the progress. Can I close the console window?

- How can I make it run automatically when Windows starts? because there wasn't an option about this in the console.

The tutorial on CF about F@H is way out of date so it's not helping me out to its full effect...

You can minimize the window, but you can't close it. If you want to run the client in the tray, try TrayIt. Unfortunately, I've never had any success with the program, but I think Jet got it to work for him. It allows you to move any minimized window into the tray.

It'll be updated soon.

I also got it to run as a service....
