I figured out the guarded run errors, it seems with the new 59xx jobs, I can only run one card at a time. Alone they'll fold 24/7, together, they both fail. So it looks like mixed card rigs may have problems.

CPU folding is far slower than GPU - a Q6600 @ 3.6 can yield around 3.5K PPD.

Almost wish I hadn't folded for another team, I have to keep folding under my nick, need to see 1 mil! Even thought I'm actually well over a mil now. Until I get my 280/285? back, I just can't do much.... sniff....

Uh, I'm not gonna touch that one. Let's just say quite a few of us agree with you as far as the other team is concerned.

Soooo frustrating

Takes 24H to finish a WU 2653 (SMP) and in the end... after the magic 100% done

[02:37:11] Folding@home Core Shutdown: MISSING_WORK_FILES
[02:37:11] Finalizing output
[02:39:13] CoreStatus = 1 (1)
[02:39:13] Sending work to server
[02:39:13] Project: 2653 (Run 32, Clone 49, Gen 133)
[02:39:13] - Error: Could not get length of results file work/wuresults_04.dat
[02:39:13] - Error: Could not read unit 04 file. Removing from queue.

[02:39:13] - Preparing to get new work unit...

I hate stressing my CPUs for nothing

does ram make a big difference in ppd?
I have a 4850e@3ghz on a 1760pt WU i get 1189.69 ppd it is running ram at 1000@5-5-5-12 dual channel
I have a 5kBE@3ghz on a 1760ptwu i get 1152.87 ppd it is running ram at 824@4-4-4-12 single channel

they both have been sitting overnight with nothing but F@H going. could that difference be the WUs or because of the ram?

Your talking about a tiny difference in points. (37) it's most likely due to different background processes running on the pc's if even that.

i know its tiny i was just wondering tho if that could be a reason.. the 5kBE has less background processes and the 4850e rig has the GPU folding(9800GT) thanks for your input i didn't even think of what maybe running in the background

Apart from joining the team at stanford, i don;t think there is much you can do. i'm guessing you just get the next piece of work up for processing

why is it every time i shut down the SMP client on my 5kBE it deletes the WU and DLs a new one? it happens EVERY TIME i now keep a backup of the files on my main rig so when that happens i can start it back where it was.. what is going on? how can i fix it?

EDIT: i just saw that the read only box was checked so is that why that was happening?

I gave up on my SMP client. If I shut it down, it would find the work files corrupted, delete them and DL a new WU upon restart.

If my GPU clients finish the WU but the net is down at the time, are those work units lost? I've got a couple of 1680 pointers, both done sitting here 'Waiting to retry' and it looks more like its attempting to get new work without having sent the old stuff in. Is this 8 hours each card and 3360 down the drain? Any help would be appreciated.

Probably just a server/connection issue, it'll keep sending completed work until that certain WU's experation time is up iirc correctly. Could be from so many folding, dunno..give it a little while though, it'll go through.

Alright, that's excellent. I wasn't sure if it'd just overwrite with a new work unit. I fixed the net now. For some odd reason my router wasn't talking to my modem when I got home, and it's been like this for 5 hours. Simple reset and everything was working again. I tell you, leaving computers on all the time sure helps you see how many things can go wrong. Its still performing admirably for being a 24/7 machine though. Just its kinda heart wrenching sometimes.

Close the client and re-start it. The work will be sent. I do not know why, but mine hang up like that too.

Excellent, it says its sent it off. Now, because of the sudden addition of liquor tonight I've decided to scheme and attempt to scrape together all my old parts into a second rig. If I'm right and I can get these suckers to work, I'll be cranking out another 5-6k PPD. Power bills be damned! I won't be happy until I've consumed 1.21 Gigawatts(!) in a single month.
