Funny thing is I just started on Sunday so it has been three days now. Yet it says my average is only 105K day yet i have 738,910 so far.

Well averaging 738,910 over three days comes out to 246,303. Something does not seem right there.

Hi, Welcome to the team.

The average is worked out for the last 7 days. So, in your example it would be 738,910/7 = ~104,000. You should have an accurate reading of your average in a couple of days.

3770K (which is barely doing anything) and a pair of Asus 780's doing almost all of the work. Seems to fluctuate between 320K and 360K PPD, but I stop it here and there to do other things.

Very nice. My 2600k is in a similar position. I'm gaining very little PPD from it.
 
With having such a low cost effective rig myself. My 3570k @4.2Ghz is doing only around 3k less PPD than my 5850.

Edit:

Est PPD on i5 is 10.6k
EST PPD on 5850 is 13.9k

Not sure if these figures should be that close to each other. But im just assuming my 5850 is now almost 5 years old, so that may have an issue.

I'm only getting 11K on my 3770K but I have it limited to 4 threads.

I've just cracked the 25k PPD Barrier and I thought when i started it up at 13k was alot. Haha, just got 11260 on my i5. It's catching up to my GPU. It's frightening. But i think i can push the OC with a Re-Paste and turn the heatsink around with the rear case fan pushing air in aswell. 4.4/4.6 If im lucky. We will have to see!

My 5850 is being pushed as hard as i dare it. The overclock can't go high enough. Using MSi Afterburner and it won't even go over 60 in temps. MAy need a new GPU. D:
 
I'd get 11k if I could figure out the OC issue with my FX-4100, I can game all day & render all day at 4.01Ghz and it's solid even in Prime95 it's sweet as a nut but guaranteed 3-4hours of folding and I get BSODs, at the moment I'm only getting around 5k on 3.6Ghz stock.

I have an old Acer Aspire 8935g with the Intel Q9000 that our lass uses and she's currently folding vastly faster and more than me :(
 
In the past just to mess around I ran Linux inside of a virtual machine within windows and I was getting really good numbers. I wasn't sure what would happen but I believe the virtualization happens on a hardware level so it makes sense. Just a little bit of overhead but not much.
 
May have to look into that bigdaddy.

Any reasons why my GPU just lost over 9k PPD? "An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine." this was in the log for it. Pls tell me what's wrong D:

Edit:

I may answer my own question here, is it just down to the WU my GPU is doing and what part of it it is at depending on how much PPD and time it takes? It jumped from 22Hr to 2Days. Baha

Those core 2 duo quads are sweet! I still have a machine around here with a Q6600 in it. 2.4GHz and it used to do 4.0GHz it was insane. Now in it's older days im down to about 3.6.
 
For SMP (CPU) folding to be worth it you need to run it under Linux (whether that is in a VM or straight install). You also need to overclock the snot out of it and run it with fast memory and timings as tight as possible.

If its not a dedicated F@H rig then your QRB for SMP can take quite a hit when you do other things. I need to invest in a GPU at some point, all my points have come from SMP so far...

I have it running while im at college, so which is from 8 to at least 4. And if im not on my computer, i leave it running. It's not 24/7 but it gets at least 8-10 hours a day. My OC on my CPU is at 4.2 ATM. I'm going to look into getting it to 4.4/4.5 if im lucky. My Memory is at 2133Mhz, on an XMP 1.3 Profile but with set timings which the Ram use. Dont know much else other than that.
 
I don't know how to increase my PPD anymore, I know you said to get a VM Linux , but I don't know how to do that :o

Any help will be grand, and if it's easier to talk on anything else, drop me an inbox.
 
I've not set up VM Linux myself tbh, I just run a dedicated Linux box, which is pretty easy to set up. There are a few Linux whizzkids on here that may be able to help you though.

i have no idea what this is but seems fun and im interested, someone get me started on this please?

Best place to start is here. There's a video explaining what folding is and the client downloads are there as well. You will want to use the v7 client and will also want to get a passkey here so you can receive extra points after your first ten WUs (Quick Return Bonus or QRB ).

OC3D's team number is 98860. You should be able to pull some really nice PPD with the rig in your sig. Any questions don't hesitate to ask. Welcome to F@H. :cool:
