What Ugly said is correct. Trying to fold while overclocking just can mess things up for all involved - been there, done that, results aren't pretty :(

Hello, been hanging around the forums but never posted anything. Saw this folding team and started today, hope my system can help out.
:welcome: Sure you can help :up:
Welcome to the team cirons, we're very glad to have you!, what brings you in to our little nook here?
And welcome to XS :welcome:
Hi UnG, well i usually hang out in the amd forums (sad amd fanboy) or the vid card section but kept seeing the folding statistics in peoples sigs. I was led to investigate and thought it was a good idea to lend my spare cpu cycles.
Cirons,
Welcome to the team. ahh, a story close to many hearts around here, I'd guess. Your path to our group is like many, I'd say. We're an odd bunch but I hope you'll hang around and chat with us. We have some eclectic interests and perspectives on computing (and other stuff, too) here.
Welcome to all new folders equally :welcome:
And do not take me too seriously... I've often humor that I don't understand myself either :shakes:
Hey same here :D Can't help it, love the underdog, don't like intel much, so... :shrug:Quote:

Thanks for the welcome, I have a/some quick question(s). I'm using an amd cpu and i followed the window setup guide for services and now have two services running with the added arguments "-local -advmethods -forceasm -verbosity 9" should i change the -forceasm to -forceSSE? How much of an improvement would i see? And does stopping the folding to change values like this effect the current projects that are having work done on them? I also downloaded fahmon to watch the services and both of them are in the green.
Sorry for the noob questions, some of these I have seen touched on but the -forceasm/-forceSSE people that asked about changing usually gave ?amber? as what fahmon was reporting when using -forceasm on their amd processor.
I tried the forcesse thing and I didn't notice a thing so I stick with forceasm
You can change the flags for the services while they are running but they won't take effect until after you restart the services as it only reads those flags at startup.
Do you have your phenom folding as well? And if so how does it do on PPD? I'm thinking about building a dedicated machine, and haven't seen very many phenom folders. Don't know if i should pick up a phenom 2.2ghz or another windsor 3.2.Quote:

Unfortunately my HR-05 doesn't fit the northbridge on my board (hole spacing is too short for the bracket) so I'll have to come up with something to keep the chipset cool.Quote:

Edit: SMP up and running
just don't try to run both at the same time
ok...
SMP wouldn't save work? Interesting.... Was it dumping work units or restarting them every time the client restarted?
and :welcome:
actually, i didnt notice if it was the same wu.
but when closed after any number of steps(well, those i tried),
it would simply start from zero... :shrug:
and thanks..
I forgot, my PS3 has been folding for a short while. I'll keep it on as much as possible.
Great glad to hear that wes :) Sorry I didn't notice in the stats, I really should pay more attention. I wonder how many others I've missed :(Quote:
