    Well your sig shows 42... so you might wanna check the logs to be sure it isn't bombing any units partway through.

    Guys.. I haven't been folding for months, and was never a serious folder. I just saw dak's sig and copied it
    Check again.. now it's 343
    The GTX 280's are doing fine at the very least.

    Ok, another sanity check - do the PPD look ok? GTX 280's are running 700 core with synced shaders, the 8800 GTS is an old G80 core card, running 650Mhz GPU with synced shaders. I know I can maximize performance by lowering core and increasing shaders, but I know these settings to be stable so I just kept them. FAH is flakey enough as it is to set up and all.

    I've not had a 280 but in relation to my 260's I'd say in view of your clocks it is good. Stock clocked core and shaders set to 1512 or 1566 or 1620 (guessing) could reduce your temps a little and maybe power too?

    I'm not aware of any recent testing on the core mem shader issue but, in the beginning, increasing the core or for that matter mem would only reduce time by a few seconds per WU

    If you don't know already ...in fahmon right click on the headings (fortschritt, name usw) to get, and edit, a selection of details on screen

    So.. core down, shader up right? Okey.. let's see if I can crank the shaders
    GTX 280s are on water, so temps are a nonissue. The 8800 is on stock air...

    Edit: Okey.. changed clocks to 600/1620/1000 core/shader/mem.
    Ran fine for 3 minutes then froze the screen - I guess that's a little bit too much for the shader, at least at stock VGPU. Does raising VGPU help here? Temps are fine as I said, ~46C core while folding.

    Running 600/1566/1000 now. If that doesn't work, then screw it, I'm gonna up the Vgpu

    And another question: Does the driver version matter? IE should I update to 195 drivers? Running on 190 something I think.

    Can't answer that one, never wanted to bump voltages cos temps were high enough already.

    All shader overclocks seem to have a temp limit...I can run 1620 if ambient is below about 10deg but must drop to 1566 up to maybe 23 then above that 1512. Your watercooling should improve matters once you find the level to start

    Edit: I'm still running 190.62 on the 260's ...I think it is 182.xx on the gx2's and I tried 195 on the 98gtx last week ....all seemed to work

    Are these SMP WUs supposed to be worth 400 points? I heard the Linux SMP was much better than the Windows version but it seems to be slower...................it's using all 4 cores

    Yes, that's what they're worth. However, there are bonus points for how quickly you return the WU (if you have a passkey, so get one if you don't). The a3 core is thread based as opposed to using mpi and you will see 100% cpu usage in linux. I'm hearing windows is slightly faster on these WUs.

    You should find that chart at http://folding.extremeoverclocking.c...&srt=3&t=36362 later once you submit a result Then click on your name.

    I've not run Big WU's but I understand you need to fold using your own personal code called a passkey to get the best points. You need 10 WU's completed using this first to get the upgrade.

    This is the client.cfg I get from my 2 SMP's, is there any way I can optimize it?

    getting a passkey http://folding.stanford.edu/English/FAQ-passkey and completing 10 smp wu's using it will allow you to get more points and I believe the newest wu's or even move to BIGAdv wu's that are designed for 8core/threads and give Big points.....Hoping others here will confirm

    Don't know, I've never done this (no hardware). Maybe wait on one of the others or to play safe use the -oneunit flag (stop, add this and then restart)

    If your annoyed by sigs telling you to put things in your sig, then put this in your sig

    Colours are related to production numbers.

    Exclamation School

    So.. Yea, I'm at school, folding on a desktop e8400 while on my session. Is there a way i can get around the damn Novell login and monitor the entire workgroup's units from the same pc, or is there a way I could setup a "bot" client, a slave client that will only report progress to a "master" or simply to the 1ntarwebz directly? I tried fahspy but I can't access the hdd of the other pc's in the same lab(workgroup), even the guy beside me that I know he's logged in right now, I cant access his HDD..

    Installed it as a service (2x cpu client) and opted not to use smp the smp client because I can not provide admin username and password, while double cpu client doesn't ask for anything

    It is not recommended to borg school computers. Actually, we discourage it, as it can get people in loads of trouble. Stanford doesn't really like it either because they get flak over it too....

    Altough I knew responses like this were coming, this does not really help me. While I get your point, I re-read the computer user agreement and distributed computing is not prohibited, but it's not like they really faced any. It kinda pains me to see 30 something e8400 idling all day long, dealing with ppl surfing the internet, doing Word or Excel.. folding only takes place while somebody is logged in, stops when he logs out, and I saw absolutely no slowdown, even with both cpu's @ 100%.

    I assume my actions and do so only because the leash is set REALLY loose. Even computer science guys are not really l33t around here and it's not really hard to take over any pc around here.. Nonetheless, I'm not searching to do any harm to anybody or to the material at school. You might not want to help me, but I know somebody will. Still, thank you for your attention.

    If I am breaking a rule here, just clearly tell me & I'll seek help elsewhere, i guess!

    I don't want to set fire in the computer lab, but liberty feels so good..
