Those little annoying F@H things ..

V7 will only get you more points. Providing you enter your passcode during setup, bonus points will still be credited and your current WU will likely be ported over.

The work units you have completed are linked to your username and passkey combo on Stanfords server. So as long you you enter your username and passkey correctly Stanford will know you have already qualified for bounus points even though the software on your end wont have any record of your pervious work.

Personally I have both GPU Tracker and the V7 client installed at the same time. I use V7 for SMP and GPU Tracker for the GPUs. In general I found V7 to give better SMP work units, however if it goes through at bad patch I'll stop V7 and get SMP running on GPU tracker to see if its any better for a short period of time.

At the end of the day it's upto you. But I think its worth you giving V7 a try.

Thanks for the replies guys

Looks like I will be giving V7 a tryout then. Also, Im currently using V7 on my main rig and folding on my CPU. If a WU isn't completed by the deadline, do I lose bonus points on my FAH rig as well? Since its all linked to stanford's servers

You shouldn't loose bonus points on your folding if the main doesn't complete a WU on time

113 PPD on my 1090T @ 4GHZ, its a P8004. This seems very odd

Dropped to 105 PPD. Think my chip has turned to wood or somthing

The only way you will lose getting bonus points is if you fall below the 80% threshold, that is you need to return at least 80% of the work units you have recieved 100% completed by the final deadline. I have yet to heat of that happening to anyone.

Other than that the points are on a per work unit basis so what happens on one rig will not effect the points on another rig.

That is some weird-oh-weird-ness going on there. Check task manager to see if anything else is eating cpu time.

By final deadline? So like the last last time it can be received? And had a look @ task manager, nothing much going on except google chrome/FAH Control running

Yeah there are two deadlines, the prefured deadline and the final deadline. I'm pretty sure it's after the final deadline that it goes against the '80%' rather than preferred.

Is the CPU actually running at 100%? or is it basicly not folding.

Yup, running @ 100% on all 6 cores and WHAT THE HELL MY OC HAS VANISHED O.O amd overdrive saying 3.2ghz on all cores

really confused now o.o

And do you have a process called Fahcore*something*.exe running at +/- 98%.

As for the overclock. Maybe the board/software felt the clock wasn't stable and so went back to normal?

Got a process called: FahCore_a4 running @ 82% on the CPU. And another process called: FahCore_16, running @ 16-17%

As for the overclock, I don't actually know what caused it to reset itself, There was a windows update recently that made my rig turn on again during the night, May be cause of that but I don't really know. Got it back to 4GHz. Did stress testing @ 4GHz couple of weeks ago and it was stable with prime95. Don't know really why it decided to go back to stock settings

The a4 is SMP and the 16 will be GPU. So you can see how much the GPU is taking away from the SMP.

On my old rig (Q6600 & Gigabyte DS4) the overclock would reset on that seemingly for no reason when booting or resetting. And since then on every computer I have, I keep a copy of CPU-Z at hand. On this partticular laptop I have CPU-Z and Hardware Monitor pinned to the start menu, this is because I have dual IDA running on here and also have the CPU undervolted. It getts too hot for folding if the CPU gets the full fat 1.25v - 1.3v when being boosted to 2.6ghz. So I like to just check that Throttlestop has booted properly every once in a while.

SMP seems to be folding faster now, will leave it and see what happens on a next WU. Thanks for the help

Edit: I've got my bios settings written down somewhere now, will need that

Ok, adjusted nb clocks to 3GHZ with the CPU @ 4Ghz. The 1090T getting decent PPD now, seen it get 8k I think. But it varies alot for some odd reason, it goes to about 8k or even 10k, Then drops back down to like 1k or somthing, even when im not using my rig whilst im folding. Is it supposed to do this?

Also, is there a way to decrease TPF? So from like 10 mins to 3 mins.

I've also used a "Multiplier" only approach to the 4ghz OC. Would it be good if I changed the RAM speeds? Right now in the bios it says 1333Mhz for RAM but I've got 1600Mhz corsair dominator.

3Ghz NB will support up to 2000Mhz RAM now, so definately increase the RAM to what it's rated for!

Ok, will do. What about HyperTransport? I've set it to 2.4Ghz. Does it really make a difference?

You just gotta love Stanford's WU assignments and WU valuations

2 weeks ago I'm doing 300K PPD now they have it down to under 230K PPD all on the same equipment

The xspc dual-res bay pump failed on my gf rig

,folding on a wu7808.When i found out temps were close to 100c on all cores

.Installed a spare ek dcp-4.0 pump,and lucky me the i7-970 is folding fine again

I noticed the same; I'm down to around 50K whereas I was able to get around 70K two weeks ago. I think the problem is the new SMP WU's I'm getting some that take 10 hours to complete now and you only get 2272 points... I'd rather have the 1 hour WU's that give you ~ 1000

The annoying thing is all the GPU WUs are still getting their usual PPD, so all the GPU folders are storming on ahead and the guys with multiple SMP rigs running headless are feeling it hard.

I'm loving these large WU's on SMP, 17K points but the issue that i can't leave my rig on 24/7 so each night thr rig is off, until the WU is complete, im losing out on around 2500 points. Is there a way to make v7 to give smaller WU's instead of big ones?

Gpu is doing fine, 5757 point WU for 8 hours
