The stats just updated within the past few minutes so you're no longer the day's top producer.

Just install the client from the first post in this thread and follow my instructions to norton on how to set your GPU's for beta work units. You have 2.5 million points so you should have a valid passkey so make sure to use it.

Feels good to sit on the Official techpowerup Folding Throne even for a few minutes huh Norton? Every now and then Buck or Raptor have to go to the bathroom so we can grab it. Just dont get caught. Gratz on the new badge.

I decided to switch my avi to something older.

I have to wait until my BOINC WU's are complete I forgot this morning to suspend getting new WU's.
Thanks for the advice

Any tips for someone running a client with my specs? Also, what PPD do you guys think i should be getting?

Edit: And another question: can I still use the same passkey i got a year ago? the one with username chimppowerup

And another question: can I still use the same passkey i got a year ago? the one with username chimppowerup

Do not use that passkey as it will only work for that specific username, request your own using your current username. Use this link to request one:

This year you don't have to switch anything. Use your own pass key.

Norton, you have some high end hardware and so you need to configure a little bit differently.
First, you need to get a passkey. This will allow you to get bonuses for your SMP work and access to the beta work units (WU's)
Second, you need to turn those GTX580 loose on the beta's. Bring up the advanced control interface, click on configure, slots and for each GPU, you need to select edit and then under extra slot options click add and then put client-type under name and beta under value and it will look like this:

When the client is done with it's current job, it will pick up a beta WU. If it doesn't, restart the client.
For everyone else reading this, it is MHO that only the high end Nvidia cards should run beta. A GTX 580 can get over 40,000 PPD with the beta's but I can't even get 20,000 PPD with my GTX 560 Ti's, which is less PPD than the non-beta WU's.
AMD cards? You'll love the beta WU's. No more huge hit on the CPU.

Heres help from thebluebumblebee on how to run AMD cards.

How are we doing so far? I don't feel a ton of motivation this year...

 

[Mathragh]

Thanks all, Decided I throw my PC and laptop in for the team! Only downtime will be in the evenings from like 6 to 10, since my PC is located in our living room, and the gf wont be able to hear the TV over my fan noise rofl.

Do you guys think I should use that beta client for my laptop GPU aswell?

Edit: currenty getting about 6k PPD from my 8120 at 4,7GHz, isn't that a bit low? or do bulldozers just suck at this? =D

No betas on a laptop. I hope you raised that laptop, if you are folding on it. It will need air.

Yeah dont worry, i've been overclocking my laptops for about 6 years now, always got some monitoring program open, and I always make sure no dust is clogging the heatsinks! Currently the CPU is maxxing out at 85C, while still running on the max turbo state, and the GPU is maxxing out at 66C(because of low utilization mainly, so kinda wondering if i can do anything about that, otherwise its maxxing out at about 85-90 aswell when overclocked).

And thanks!

ive just started folding. im getting an 8350 soon and will put that up for work. i will only fold when im asleep or through the day.

7950 @ 1100/1650
fx @ 4.4

equals 9.5k a day, i suppose a every little helps

oh when i get the fx8350 i can also put the 4100 with a gts450 and get that folding

I suppose you should also use the beta client for your GPU, like explained above when I asked about it^^

More air. My folding room looks like this with the window open right now.

what do i type in for passkey?

You can request one here. Will be sent instantly to your email, I got it within 5 seconds

Edit:

Air is not the problem; the heatsink and fan of this laptop is! Its not really producing enough heat for any change in room temperature. My PC is though, but that one is limited by the fact that i dont want to push more voltage trough my chips. Might give this laptop a thorough cleaning, and redoing of paste and such, since warranty has just ran out.
Awesome to see such a hardcore set-up btw! do you have a fan in the window?
