use your gamer cpu as -smp core A3 work units as they don't take long to do a work unit and then you can shut it down to game and start up when not gaming

Ok, 20 minutes in and I think I just caused the ISS to lose power.
What I want is for F@H to use 100% of my GPU and 2 cores (50%) of my CPU. Is this possible (or rational)? What I've done so far: 1) Downloaded fahclient_7.1.24_Windows-2008-64bit-release.exe 2) Did a custom install with SMP selected and "donor name"/"team #" as ChimPowerUp/50711 3) Attempted to add my GPU: Follow the instuctions here EXCEPT when you get to figure 5, before clicking on OK, click on Add under Extra slot options (expert only) and then type client-type in for the name and advanced for the value and then click OK and then OK. Repeat as necessary.The client will start automatically. Do not disable Crossfire! (if applicable)4) When I clicked on Save a command prompt flashed on my screen at least 10 times but eventually stopped. 5) I edited my SMP slut to use 2 threads. The results: -GPU was very busy doing nothing, CPU was busy at 100% and the process called "fahcore_16.exe" was taking up all the CPU. Any help? Clever insults? Jive about my mamma?

If you have to put a cap/limit to your folding, I suggest you use the standalone SMP and GPU console clients. This way you input how many cores you want to use folding.
What CPU and GPU? Is it the one on your system specs?

Yeah, it's the most powerful one I got. I'm not going to waste power with my other (much older) PCs.
Also I was unaware there were standalone console clients. I now feel like a sap for installing the bloated GUI app. Argenblarfen.

Use the V7 and do the following:
1. Start the client 2. Pause both CPU and GPU (See figure 1) 3. Make sure you are on Expert Mode (See figure 1) 4. Click Configure (See figure 2) 5. Highlight CPU and click "Edit" (See figure 3) 6. In SMP area locate the CPU value and change it to whatever number cores you would like to use (0 is default meaning all cores are used) (See figure 3) Figure 1 Spoiler
Figure 2 Spoiler
Figure 3 Spoiler
Lastly don't forget click OK at each one of those windows to save your new setting.

![]() In all seriousness I even tried changing this setting: ![]() The result is that a process called, fahcore_a3.exe, takes up >80% of my CPU. I can't get it to work with my GPU either. The F@H GUI correctly recognizes my GPU as "Cypress LE" but it might still be conflicting with my ancient 10.8 drivers. I swear I'm pretty technically adept. I even know how to use email , which makes it amply embarrassing that I can't set this up. Adding to the insanity is I used to do a lot of BOINC. I think I better take a break tonight and try it tomorrow.EDIT: I got it working with GPU (less this) and amusingly the setting from the image I posted applies to the GPU . I have to restart the program to get it to apply though. I also dunno if the PPD is low enough that it isn't worth using it without the defective fahcore_16.

Go back to the V7 tutorial and there is an added setting for the Cypress GPU's to work properly.

I started up the client on my kids' PC this morning - that's the E7200 and 8800GT. It was showing about 4K PPD for the GPU, but nothing for the CPU before I left.

I think I'll be pulling about 30k for one day with the addition of the 275 Coop. This CPU is spitting out 19,584 at the moment.
Funny thing is the 275 is baking at 75 while the 470 is chillin at 66

Added my 4890 and my 5770 to help out. I never folded before but will give what I can. I think my CPU would give better numbers to help can some one let me know if that would be better than the two cards.

Just got my stuff moved over, I was out of town until last night... Hopefully I can rack some points in before the end.

Your i7-950 would be better than the two. You can run it using regular SMP or SMP -bigadv.

2.7 mill yesterday and almost all for the CC. WOW and thank you a lot to all the new folders (and old of course) for making that possible. Even on a cold winter day we never passed 2 mill (+/-).

Rick-I'm seeing 2 SMPs on there, 1 for 6 core and 1 for 12 cores. What exactly are you running besides the 980X? I don't see the gimped 5970.

4 GHz hex should give at least 25.000 PPD
