Is F@H having issues with servers?

I'll assume you're running a normal Systray client and that you fold a WU quicker than 24 hrs. Can you post the log by rht-clicking the systray >log> and C&P it here wrapped in code tags and I'll take a look at it for you.

BTW, I'm having no issues but then I use the advanced clients. You may like to bookmark Stanford's list of server status.

 

Ya, turning PC off doesn't help at all.:-D There's nothing wrong with your log. If you ever want to get your i7 properly folding, just holler. :drool

JungleBill eh?:-D

BTW, I just checked your stats and for the points that you are producing you are wasting your electricity if you're running that rig 24/7.

 

OK then, you fold when you're on that PC, that's good enough.

 

Stanford was/is updating servers and since you don't run 24/7 you may have had an old link to database.
Also you could go to the folding folder and there should be a previous log file to review.

LOL, so many updates, so little time.:-D Ya, Stanford's been going through a lot of changes these last two weeks, especially with SMP2 being released which is the eventual replacement for VM folding on at least an OC'd Q6600s@2.7GHz quads which is giving me the same PPD with the bonus now as it was on a VM running Ubuntu. The faster procs will really get much better results, esp. i7s because of the bonus for the shorter deadlines met.

Oops, sorry Halo as this is probably all gibberish to you. I'll continue this elsewhere.

 

roflmao !!! Sorry Halo, that got me going!:-D Yup on checking because right now the big bonus points are gotten with an i7 920 D0 or better OC'd @ 3.4GHz. Also it's all beta ATM which of course means some TLC is needed and 24/7 folding ATM.

I believe you don't want to fart around with that yet. We'll be here if'n you do. (Esp. when I get my i7.:drool)

 

Little Hijack -

Watch out augie. Done got my 920 C0 to 3.36 Ghz.
Cut about 9 minutes per frame on the a2's compared to the standard clock of 2.67Ghz.
Seriously looking at that Corsair H50 for my cpu as temps are mid 70's now.

End Hijack

 

/augie continues hijack

Aah, you must mean the -bigadv ones then.

/end hijack

 

Yeppers on the -bigadv. (Sorry Halo I'll stop now.:-D At least the hijack)

 

Everything I have read on overclocking the 920 indicates the D0 stepping can achieve a higher stable overclock as opposed to the C0. But that might only be a difference of 200 or 400 mhz. Anyway with folding, you can't be on the ragged edge of overclocking. Any instability will trash the WU and waste everybody's time.
At the price of a 920 I've got a 965 performance-wise plus a little and might have to spend $80 to get the temps down so I'm to the good about $600.

 

Weeelll, it all depends on who is answering the question, a regular or an uber folder. You have an excellent machine there Halo and will give you great points as is, I'm only talking from the 'uber folding nut' end.

I don't recall what GPU you have in that machine but that would be your best bet to get the maximum points with the least amount of pain. Just for example, I can easily get 7K points per day from my GTX260 video card whereas my quad will only give maximum half that and with a lot more hassle like running a virtual Ubuntu machine running the appropriate client.

I think the standard GPU client is the way to go until you get comfortable with folding and add a monitoring app to see how things are going. It all depends on how much sweat equity you are willing to invest as one can go from a 'Set it and forget it' type mode to the 'uber nut' mode.:-D Of course, the points increase with the same hardware but different beta software and 24/7 operation to get the max points.

Whatever you wish, tell us what you are willing to do and we can then recommend something for you.
