I run my GTX260 (216sp) at 724/1514 and 999 mem for 24/7 folding with the fan set ~80%

ill have a look at those clocks - how many ppd does that yield?

Yes shader is most important, I actually underclock my ram to reduce heat. By the way, I would never run these older 65nm gtx cards at over 80c constantly, I'd jack up that fan speed a bit. My card can actually start to artifact at 83c!

it fluctuates between 75 and 80, and with the fan on auto. If i do some proper folding Ill crank the fan to 70 / 80% though :toast:

Follow the filepath from the GPU shortcut. Copy and paste that filepath into the Fahmon client settings. This is, unless you have installed it as a service.

Thanks for the instructions folks......Got mine to work (I believe) and I've never folded before....

Any tips on GPUs running on SLI or is there some benefit to it?

Sli must be off for F@H. Multi-GPU2 is a little more difficult to set up. We can walk you through it.

I cant get FAHMON to actually monitor GPU usage. I navigate to the folder but it still doesnt work. When i click on the FAHMON folder, it opens up and shows a subfolder which is a config folder.

Im using Win7 x64 RC.

msgclb · May 6, 2009

Just as CrAsHnBuRnXp, I using Windows 7 RC x64 and I can't get the FAHMON monitor to work. Any ideas what's wrong?

Edit: I'm using the latest NVIDIA driver for Win7 RC x64.

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P
Processor: Q6600
Video: 8800 GT
OS: Windows 7 RC x64

I'd also like to know what's the difference between the setup described here and "How to set up Windows SMP CPU Client". Which one should I use?

bogmali · May 6, 2009

From the FahMon monitor window, click Clients and point it to where the client folder is located.

That was too easy!

The tutorial here pertains to GPU clients while Windows SMP deals with CPU clients

You can use either one (or both) if you so choose

2a. (Vista) To point it to the GPU folder, SEARCH for APPDATA. In AppData locate the folder that says ROAMING. In Roaming find Folding@home-gpu folder. Right click on folder and copy location into the Fahmon.

I dont have the option that is in bold.

Do this...

i.e.
I clicked 'Add a new client' and entered my username and then browsed to where I installed 'Folding@Home-Win32-GPU_Vista-623' and when I hit the OK button, bingo!

bogmali · May 6, 2009

1. First, locate the folder where you have the files in and remember it.
2. See post # 34 and follow it.

CrAsHnBuRnXp · May 7, 2009

Got it now.

Thats totally not what the instructions say to do.

I'm trying to do this right now. However, I can't find where I installed F@H. It's not listed in the program files. Maybe I'm just too damn tired. :mad:

bogmali · May 7, 2009

Paul-If you still have the zip file, try to unzip it again (or go through the motions) and it will tell you where it went.

Where's the folder that you downloaded 'Folding@Home-Win32-GPU_Vista-623' or the XP version if that's what you're using? That's where I found mine. I have a dedicated download folder.

PaulieG · May 7, 2009

Thanks guys. I was just too damn tired. I've got it running on my gtx260 now. I'll get the other rigs going tomorrow.

I dl the F@H what is the Passkey? Is that just a user created PW?

Aww crap What does this mean.

bogmali · May 7, 2009

Just leave it blank

Altered · May 7, 2009

Well I did but I still seem to be having an issue. it isnt showing anything in my fahmon box except my name. I dont see anything its either N/A or blank???

bogmali · May 7, 2009

reconfigure it and make sure the only thing you fill in is your username and team number (50711).

Altered · May 7, 2009

What I am not understanding is under Part 3 of the tutorial where it says

Point Fahmon to C:\Documents and Settings\{user name here}\Application Data\Folding@home-gpu

Where exactly do you go to put this information to point it?
I cannot see anything in the Fahmon that makes me believe it is working properly.
