How to set up Windows SMP/SMP2 CPU Client

[El Fiendo]

You got Install.bat to repeat the message twice? Because it seems to me before I got it set up correctly I got the same result as you are currently getting. Refer to the second post if you have issues with it as I see you also have Vista.

Upon actually reading the post, is it just FahMon not showing it? Or is it actually not progressing? The last post suggests its not working at all.

I did the install.bat and got the message twice. Fahmon displays the WU info but the thing will not progress and after running it 8+ hours I should get some kind of a percentage completed This is the second time that I'm setting it up and got the same result. It did the same thing two weeks ago and I just got frustrated and said screw it; now it looks like I might have to do that again

When you install it, do you just do a standard install and install it where it initially wants? I almost never do this and usually customize where to install it. (I hate things installing to Program Files) I don't see why it wouldn't work but try installing it to a Temp folder or any other folder of your choosing.

Download Fahmon. Your running GPU2 and posting in the SMP thread.

sorry my bad man... I downloaded all the files you recommended and the fahmon doesn't work for me I piont it to the work folder and nothing happens..

and what about core i7 , it is 4 core and every core have two threads , so the read will be 8 cores

Figured I would share this, probably most helpful for i7 users, to get full usage out of your CPU (100% in taskmanager) set up multiple clients. I myself did 2 clients running 4 threads each.

EDIT: Thought it might be helpful to explain a bit how. Like setting up multiple GPU clients, do seperate folders for each client, and I renamed the clients in the fold to match the folder name so that I wouldn't be running the same client twice. 2nd pic shows how the short cuts are set up and you can see the difference in names.

EDIT: Also helped me find out the settings I was running weren't stable, decided to go lower speed same voltages, then maybe work down.

Hey Buck_Nasty and El Fiendo, I just wanted to let you know I found your guide very helpful. I just bought an i7 and I'm running two SMP clients along with the GPU client thanks to you guys!

 

[El Fiendo]

I'm glad that Buck's guide and my additional information was helpful! If there is anything else you need help with, don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks for joining the Folding cause.

Tonight, on the system that I've run SMP on before, it now instantaneously starts and stops (so fast that I can't see any error message). Deleted and reinstalled without a change. Ideas???????

Edit: seems to have been an issue with the newer 6.24 .exe file AND how I was running the install.bat. FIXED

on the latest smp client does the -smp flag still need to be on? i set up a client on my phenom2 and a q6600 neither of which have the -smp flag and both are maxed on all 4 cores...

Look in task manager and see how many instances of the core file are running.

Why isn't this a sticky? I say sticky this mofo!

It was a sticky, but we had too many stickies. It is now consolidated under the F@H essentials thread.

Ohhh. Sorry.

I tried the SMP client on i5 and I find that it's just not worth the PPD considering the processor takes up 100w even without OCing.

that's like 3k+ PPD per 100w.

a low powered 9600GT could do the same for half the wattage.

I believe this is your problem: "2b. Create a windows password for your user name if you do not currently have an existing password."

I believe this is your problem: "2b. Create a windows password for your user name if you do not currently have an existing password."

i did that and it showed this error:

I think if you want to run the SMP Client, you should run it in a VM, you will probably get more PPD from it. Follow this.

 

[thebluebumblebee]

Did you: "Please use the v6.23 installer package to setup the SMP client. Then download the v6.24 "drop-in" binary below to replace the expired v6.23 client executable. A new installer package with v6.24 will follow shortly" from where you downloaded the SMP client?

i'll try it out...thanks!
