here i am :)

[Firat]

i just started folding, so hopefully ill b a good addition to the team lets see what sandy bridge can do

its nice to see people helping contribute to science in some way

ahhh protein folding lecture tommorow lets see how that goes

 

[Firat]

what kind of PDD point is sort of a good score level? this stuff is confusing

 

[kup]

Welcome to the Team.

Using the 'GPU Tracker' (it does CPUs too) you'll probably be pulling 30-40k PPD with that Sandy.

 

[Firat]

my cpu is at 13K with all 4 cores used and my gpu is at 5K, is that right im sure im doing something wrong....im overclocked at 4.7ghz ?

also do i need a eocid? to get my signiture image?

 

[kup]

Once you appear on the stats you'll get an EOC ID.

Did you set the CPU to SMP Folding and BigAdv? And the GPU, ATi doesn't Fold too well and will hurt your CPU PPD. I'd run just the CPU with SMP and BigAdv for now.

 

[Firat]

it doesnt let me ccheck the box

 

[kup]

For BigAdv? It might be because that Sandy only has 4 Cores. Ok, Set it to AdvMethods instead.

 

[Firat]

should i prioritise this program and if so how should i do that?

 

[Firat]

im now getting around 17k PDD does that sound good, is there anything else i can do to go higher? ive set it to all 4 cores???

 

[Firat]

im now at 19000 PDD

and risingggg how high will it goooooooooooo?

 

[kup]

That sounds spot on. It'll probably rise and fall a bit depending on the WU being Folded.

Hey Firat! Good to have another new folder on the team, I just started folding today aswell!

 

[Firat]

yup definatly its nice to see everyone is trying their best to help the world

, Aurus what kind of PDD are you getting on your cpu seen as we both have the same processor?

Well I haven't enabled SMP on GPU Tracker, so I can't tell you right now. I am waiting to finish my first advmethods WU (it's at 80% right now), but when it is finished I will tell you what I get. Anyways, are you running an overclock on yours?

EDIT: Just checked your rig gallery, and saw you had a 4.7 Ghz overlock running on yours, nice one there

I got 4.0 Ghz on mine, but I just don't want to really push overclocking right now, since my rig needs to get finished first.

 

[Firat]

overclocking these cpu's is so easy, and talk about fast, amazing stuff let me know when you begin overclocking

Welcome to the team Firat, there seems to be a problem with your sig? are you firetaco on the team list?

 

[Firat]

Can i set this program to only fold at idle? so whenever im not using the pc it will always be folding

 

[Firat]

Its currently set to LOW priority in task manager, does that mean that it will use the remaining % off the cpu that is left when im using it and be 100% at idle?

 

[chudley]

yep , basically whenever you use your pc for work that will stress the cpu it will pause and then restart folding as soon as your pc is not being pushed. So internet browsing for example your pc will still fold, normally if FAH detects a game or itunes etc it stops folding. You will see all info in the tracker when you start certain apps, games etc.

 

[kup]

It'll only ever use IDLE priority, regardless of what Task Manager says. The Folding Core will always give as much CPU as is needed to everything else before it takes what it needs.

I game and encode whilst Folding and very very rarely does it have an adverse effect on either.

And then add that to the Tracker Config window.
