2011 Chimp Challenge has started!!!

Should I fold on my 560TI together with the 2600K running smp? Or would that hurt my smp output to much?

I fold both my GTX470s with my i7, I just reduced the SMP's thread count by 2 to leave a core free to feed the GPUs. But I am definitely not the most experienced folder out here, so you might want to hear another opinion.

23 hours, 35 minutes to go.

You can safely run both, and will in most cases get the most PPD that way.

5 port switches can be had for $20 in stores today!

Running four rigs + my wireless on a Linksys atm.

By all means. The 13K that you get from the 560 will well out pay the drop in SMP. It's not worth it with -bigadv though.

Hoping this one will finish in time...am I in error running both V2 and V7 together?

Never folded on GPU's so which client should I use in addidtion to a5 that I'm using now for smp?

Project P10121

Anybody have any information on the SMP Project P10121?

So far I completed 6% and it has a consistent 14.04 TPF.
HFM doesn't show the PPD or credit.
I updated the projects from Stanford to no avail.
My other SMP WUs have a deadline of several days but this WU has a deadline of 07/09/11.
Lucky for me it should complete 30 minutes before the end of this Chimp Challenge!!!

If you were running -bigadv and kept your GPU's offline to maximize your points but have now switched to SMP, turn the GPU's on unless they're like HD2xxx-HD4xxx.

What client are you using for your CPU?

eh, a5 is -bigadv, no?

You must of gotten something new. It isn't mentioned on foldingforum.org.

Yes a5 is -bigadv, I downloaded FAHClient v7 and fired it up and it seems to work perfect with the a5 on the side.

Buck Nasty: [HWC]3.0Charlie: depends on the WU, but most likely 4 hrs on a 2600k

LOL, I kept making new logins by accident and they keep rearing their heads.

I'm just repeating what I've heard. If you're talking about a hex core -bigadv, you will lose more points from running a GPU than you will make with the GPU. This is especially true if the GPU is a Radeon.

Is that the case when we run the cpu on V2 while running the gpu's on V7 at the same time?

I'm running smp on a 2600K and FAHC v7 on a 560 TI in the same rig

Same configuration here...980X and two GTX 280's.

 

[bogmali]

Last 2 of my -bigadv hitting early tonight and shortly after midnight

 

[BUCK NASTY]

Last -bigadv hitting in 2hrs and all -smp after that! Keep the pressure on them!

 

[bogmali]

Also, if you're switching to -advmethods from -bigadv, reconfigure your clients to receive normal or small WU. If you leave it at "big" it will pick up these WU's that can take up to a full day fold (P10121 comes to mind). Normal and small WU's average between 4-6 hours for completion.

 

[Mydog]

Three -bigadv hitting in 10 hrs, three rigs running smp here now and one 560 TI direct CUII
