I joined 36362 today.
:cheer: Yeah the more the merries I say :up:
:wave: Welcome to the team, we're having a litle inner competition going but we're all working for the same cause and that's to cure some deseases :up:
Looking at your signature, you will outproduce me for instance without much troubles, and be sure to wave when you pass me bye ( Mike forgot to rub it in... well he did let's not encourage him to do it again and better this time around ;) )
If you ever have any questions, the whole forum is ready to help in an instance. You can pm me or any of the other guys as well.
We're currently going uphill, though with a recent loss we will need all the help to get back on track to the top!
I think RR is the one who set the standard. :yepp: I'm still trying just to equal his old average. ;)
I found out my power company is planning a rate increase Oct. 1st and a second Jan. 1st. :shocked: I have no idea what that will do to my folding. 2 months ago I ran 6 quads and an X2-4800 full bore for a month and the bill was $500. :shocked: Cutting back to 3 rigs after 2 weeks lowered it to $300. Much more reasonable. :) I like running with the "big dogs" over here. :D I'll be contributing after the 2 week race ends too. :up:
Thanks for the warm welcome. I'll be folding with the system in my signature - still not overclocked until the next paycheck comes in for me to buy some WC equipment.
My mom passed away of lung cancer last December 23rd. I'm no doctor, but if I can help by doing this... well, that's what I'll do.
I'm sorry to hear. Many of us have been personally affected by cancer, myself included.
Pande is doing interesting stuff with this research. I was hoping to see more p53 studies, but maybe that'll be in the future. MDM2 as well and, I hope, more studies that involved the DNA repair pathway.
Its a small part of the puzzle, but the research in very valuable and might help open up new opportunities for distributive computing clients.
Thanks again. :up:
Welcome aboard mate!:welcome: Have a beer.
He's doing work on DNA repair? Like Cohesin and such? Weird... I work on that too :)
Edit: Oh.... only p53 :p:
Sorry to hear about your mother Rise, mine died of liver cancer and in this team you'll find allot of people who lost loved one's and want to get even. Crunching is a nice way to do it isn't it :up:

8800GT 512MB @ 764/1890/1100 ...still shaking out what it can handle F@H.
Question: running the client under Vista x64. Is 18-25% use of one core normal? I see peeps running the same with as low as 7-9%. Don't want to pull too much from WCG if possible but will run F@H regardless. Tips or tricks?
thanx
Hey hawkeye :wave:
I run XP on both mine so I see 100% usage all the time. I don't know what the typical vista usage is for the nvidia client though :shrug:
Nice clocks on that card :up: I have 3 8800gt's and can't get over 1800 shaders on any of them.
What cpu are you using? 18-25% is about what a dual core uses, 7-10% on a quad. But it changes all the time, that should be peak usage. Most of the time it's below 5%. That's when nothing else is using the cpu. Kind of hard for me to tell though because I have WCG running along with F@H.
Yeah, tbh I haven't really pushed the card yet to see exactly what it will do. F@H seems more forgiving than most 3D apps so I might gain a bit more there and use a RivaTuner launch item for crunching if it can handle higher clocks. I can run 3DMark05 through Vantage @764/1890/1167 at least. Where do I check to see if my F@H results are valid (stable clocks)?
And I'm running on the rig in my sig so the ~20% average seems about right. I didn't realize the lower CPU utilization was occurring on quads, thanks for pointing that out.
hey, i just started folding tonight. Using my new AMD 5400+ BE CPU for good and evil (folding and COD4 hehe). My mother is an Oncology Nurse Practitioner and I have a large family history of cancer. What an amazing thing folding really is.
:welcome:
:wtf: Welcome Bob
Welcome aboard Bob, have a nice stay! :yepp::welcome:
THANKS! everyone. Just glad to be a part. I am currently running SMP for my Black Edition and the GPU client for one of my two MSI 8600GTS's
My HD3850 is folding for you guys now.
http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/...ername=Bobsama
We need to assign someone to start a new roster and keep it updated with how many people we have coming in now. Just a suggestion... not me.
Here we go.... :D

(yes I'm lazy!)
Hey i Just Started Folding last night I'm Using my 8800GTX and my 4Ghz Qx9650 :D
:welcome:
Alright. I'm dedicating my machine's free-time to F@H.
Q6600 @ 3.6Ghz and my GTX280.
^_^
/\awesome!/\
:toast: Welcome
:welcome: and thanks for helping...:up:
I've also started also as of yesterday I ran 4 WU's on my GTX260.
I've just finished fine tuning and getting this system right, and added my Q9650 at 4.0 ghz. I'm going to go up to 4.2 Ghz sometime this week, as it's stable there also. Not sure how much farther I can go. but I'll most likely be folding at 4.0 ghz and with my 260. I'll start the CPU folding on top of GPU2 as soon as my 2 new yate loons get here tomorrow in Da mail.
I'm ranked 125 already.. lol. 3 from last. but that was only after 4 hours of a single day.
Thanks for all the info to everyone that helped me get started!
Is it time again? Yeah I think so :up:
You should know one thing though, the people you're passing left right and center, those with so 'few' points maybe in your eyes with now stagnant profiles, well they might have folded harder then you can imagine. The points you can make in one day, is something people folded weeks for in the past, no joke. Not saying that is bad, just wanted to tell you to respect evereyone you're passing, as they rightously deserve such.
Other then that. welcome :wave: and I'll be waiting untill you pass me :cool::up:
Oh, no no. I wasn't disrespecting anyone.. if anything I was bagging on myself saying I was 3 from LAST!
but I do see your point. Not everyone is as fortunate as me to have a system that pushes this. Others may have folded 24/7 for a good while to get where I did in a day. I saw one guy only a few above me. with only a little more points, but he'd done over 400 WU's.. and I've done 4.. So I completely see your point on that.
and I don't think I'll be passing you anytime soon.. or will I?? ;)
I didn't say you where :confused:
It's all with good intention xguntherc :up:
And who knows, I'm not upgrading in the near future unless I win the lottery ( which I don't play atm so... can't win it either ) :rofl:
Try your hardest and you might succeed, or push me enough to screw life essentials and buy me some more folding gear :wtf:
lol.. ok I'll get going so I can give you a little stress and pressure. then maybe you'll be temped, forced to splurge a lil bit.. We'll see
No worries.
edir*. oh and if I get my temps where I want them with a re-seat and the 2 new yate loons that I'm getting tomorrow in the mail. or today sometime i guess.. tueday. then I'll be loading up the CPU folder also.. for now it's only GPU. so when I get this Quad going. then you should look out!
We love to see you enthusiasm my friend, but if you leave it 24/7 you should get in front of us in no time I'm folding just 12 +/- / 5 , on weekends it doesn't fold it's the only time I play on the PC and when I sleep PC needs to sleep to :hehe: So basically you can make to the top fast , well you probably won't crunch over Angra and others but you can still be at the tip of the iceberg :hehe:
How can I look up my points in a list of our members of our team.. I did it once but can't find it again.. lol.
EOC is your friend for stats :) There are other 3rd party stats as well but I think EOC is the best. EOC= ExtremeOverclocking.com http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/
Thank you.
IDK but i can't sleep if i don't hear the hum of my rig crunching right next to me :D
Rank 200 on team woot! :P
:up:
Easy climb at first, +142 places last 7 days. Wait until you get higher, then it gets interesting... And the addiction sets in even more! :eek: :D
Im giving some gpu cycles to the cause
Room for an OldChap? I'm bringing an evga 9800 gx1 ssc. Might bring gx2 later once I've sorted my other MB and stuff. Fahmon shows me around 5841-5924 so I should be able to add 5kppd or so
It's not only the ppd you bring, you're temporarily accepted, for now :poke:
:sofa:
j/k OldChap, :welcome: to Xtreme Stanford Folding team, you're bringing as much ( or less.. ) ppd here as I'm putting out on average the past time but ... I'm still waiting on my bday gifts :(
Then temporarily .....thanks
I'm still trying to decide if I should buy me a christmas present or 2....was considering a gx2 but now maybe a pair of 260's just not so clear now about how these things will perform as the number of atoms increases ....need more legoman charts...who's got what here? is there this sort of info?
Do not break up my posts like that their meaning get's lost and I have had people 'use' that feature before to put me in a bad daylight. Please?
Sorry friend, I forget the verbal beatings you have taken for folding. be at peace...I'm here mostly because I admire your efforts to get things put right with folding
Thanks, for both :yepp:
I'm humbeld by your above post, I really am :sofa:
Allot of people feel like I do I think, maybe not.. because I'm not like most people, but I believe in the good of human beings and in the intend that most of us just want to be part of something positive. I'm not sure that message comes across but I hope so.
Just started folding for 36362 pulsarXtreme just have to figure out how to setup dual and quad cores.
+1
And welcome to the team!
You can click the team badge in my sig for links to guides and such.
Just gonna let you guys know that you have my support. Im gonna set up my old socket A 1.5Ghz Athlon to fold almost 24/7 (gonna do some light gaming on it in college) :P Anyway My contribution will most likely be insignificant I have folded for about 24hrs total and have 350/1500 :ROTF:
Hey Guys and Gals,
I was wondering, how is it that some folders have only completed 150 or so WU's, but have more points than someone like me who has over 300 WU's? Am I missing something?
I have a PS3, 2 GTX260's, and a Core i7 all folding away. SMP is enabled on my i7... so what gives?
Maybe those 150 are all SMP WUs which are way higher in points per WU than GPU WUs. Your 300 WUs are mixed with GPU WUs, propably mostly GPU/PS3.
Back in the day i had a bunch of Uniprocessor Work Units, then i got my PS3. Now i reached the 1.5 million mark with this team in no time thanks to the GPU2 client and i'm sure i don't have as many WUs done as my last profile.
Hey King,
Is that Tatsu? I haven't been to Magic Mountain in a couple years so I haven't actually seen it yet.
hey... My room is cold, so the folding is resuming on my 9800GTX+ while I sleep!
Just joined up. Never had a rig capable of doing much with folding before (always lowend stuff geared to silence) but now have a 4870 so figured I'd throw in.
I signed up although Im not going to have this laptop for long and am going to have an actual rig. My parents said i had to give them my laptop to build a desktop so how long do you think that took me to answer. I will also have in my possession my old Pentium III and matrox 500 box back soon and will make that a 24/7 folding box that i can add a third 120mb SD memory stick to. i should probably also do a fresh install of XP. But i know my dad wont let me do that. I am folding as =SOC=_Phenom_II. Do you think that the Pentium III will do fine.
i just joined with my sig system but i have been running the gpu client cuz i have found it performs much better.... how do you run two seperate instances of the gpu client on each seperate card??? i know that you have to first take SLI off but the guide on the F@H website didnt work for me...
There are 2 guides. Also what OS you running? The guide on F @ H site worked for me
i am using vista 32 bit
i followed all the instructions for that guide but when i run f@h it shows the following dialog:
http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/8801/picture1fto.png
?????
Look like your flags are wrong. Are you trying to run 2 clients on 2 card? If so you need to have -gpu 0 and -gpu 1 for your flags.
so i went into the properties for the links i used...
GPU 1
http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/2569/gpu1.png
GPU 2
http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/6472/gpu2.png
in the "start in" the address is
C:\Users\Karan\AppData\Roaming\Folding@Home-gpu
and
C:\Users\Karan\AppData\Roaming\Folding@Home-gpu2
it seems to me that that is the problem but when i try to change it to gpu0 and gpu1 or even gpu1 and gpu2 it gives me an error saying that no such file is present
::EDIT:: Maybe this is the problem... when i made shortcuts to the desktop, they were that of the F@H gpu .exe file not the F@H x86 .exe file?????
::::EDIT:::: Seems to have fixed it but now complaining that 2nd gpu's drivers are out of date......as far as i know drivers are all up to date
EDIT: Didnt see that you may have fixed it. not sure why is says driver out of date. Just reinstall driver and try again.
This is exactly how mine looks... I think I may see an issue: on your target it should have a space between gpu and #
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Folding@home\Folding@home-gpu\Folding@home.exe" -gpu 0
C:\Users\Powilleit\AppData\Roaming\Folding@home-gpu
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Folding@home\Folding@home-gpu\Folding@home.exe" -gpu 1
C:\Users\Powilleit\AppData\Roaming\Folding@home-gpu2
Also, can you fold on either card right now the way you have it? Also dont forget when you initially start it; you have to config and make sure user id is different.
I am using version 6.23 too. the system tray version as well. I followed the guide on F @ H exactly, no issues. there has got to be some minor mistake you/ we are overlooking.
I personally always install into a seperate directory such as C:\FAH_GPU1 as Vista security can cause problems if you use Program Files and User files locations.
Also when you run for the first time with -configonly flag make sure that you add additional parameters -gpu 0 -local (that will ensure that all files are in one directory). Also, that way you don't need to edit command line in desktop shortcut to exe.
Ok so I ran into a weird problem with Win7. I had been folding on the Win7 Build 7000 and upgraded to build 7100. I did a clean install so I had to reinstall my folding software and I configed it to my username and team number 36362 but for some reason keeps turning WUs into Default. Anyone know why this may be happening. I mean I dont care about the points as long as I am folding and completing the tasks but I would like to help out XS as much as I can even though it isn't much right now.
well all of a sudden now both are showing the same driver issues I'll reinstall when iget home today... See if that fixes it...
I had this problem on vista on a machine a while back, but cant recall how I fixed it. I think I had left over files from another install and ati card. I think I totally wiped FAH off the machine and did a fresh install; re-setup and was fine.
I think it has something to do with the shortcut not being proper so to speak.
Wazzup Guys ,
Just stopping by to say hello and that I'm throwing my gpus in the ring.
I have ran WCG for over a year now and am getting tired of it(No GPU client, when the gpus are far more powerful than a CPU.),but I'll leave some power there .But I have 2 4890s and a Phenom2 940 @3.6 that will be running F@H.
I know neither are stellar performers versus I7 and Nvidia but you use what ya got lol.
Also used this post to help me get ma crap right.http://forum.xcpus.com/xtreme-foldin...pu-load-2.html
Made quite a difference.
Welcome aboard!
Ordered 2 vf1000 zalman coolers,2 sets of copper ram sinks and mosfet coolers for the voltage regs on these cards .
one ran fine all day yesterday@925/1100 .Made my dummy plug got #2 going and error CITY on both,damn things wouldn't add 2+2 correctly.:explode::dammit:
Finally had to back the card mem down to 900 to get it stable.
Hence the ram sinks on order.
So right now I have 2 cpu clients going and 2 vga going. :yepp:
i've got F@H GPU client running on my 9600GT while WCG on my cpu... both run whenever im not using the computer... but i still have to play my games :)
should have a S939 A64 system running F@H soon as well.
