Folding.extremeoverclocking.com (my favorite, just search for ChimPowerUp in the box on the left) or Stats.Free-DC.org also does F@H (but EOC does it much better IMO)

can't find the team? :(
 
My AM2 5000+ is out of the mix. It can't fold at 100% without going a little over the safe temp zone even at stock. The case it is in just doesn't circulate enough air because it is an HTPC and small with only 1 case fan. But it was only about 900 PPD so on well.

I will be online sporadically and I can give anyone who can't get Buck or someone else to get the Passkey.

Whoa, got tied up and almost missed the start date :eek: Switched my 275s over easily- just used the -configonly flag and changed the username on my current clients :)

Will try to move the i7 over tonight. Heat means the 275s wont run all day, but the i7 is holding up fine, so that should bring us some points.

The 8800GTS is now switched over, I'm setting up SMP2 now
 
The i7,x2 4200,8600GT are folding 100% now and overclocked. I am going to try and get alittle more out of the x2 tonight.
the i7 is hitting 68c with the extra heat
the x2 4200 is hitting 48c
8600GT 56c(with volt-mod)
8800GT(when it folds) 62c
 
fan @ 60% on my 5770 temps don't go over 60ºc on stock cooler. Gotta love those puppies, too bad ATi puts out such crappy PPD :(
 
As promised, I am clipping along @ 110K ppd with the new cards added. If you have not already switched to Chimpowerup, please do so by morning. Good Luck Guys!

:toast:
 
Got the SMP client setup and the i7 moved over. Will have to balance time to make sure I finish the remaining WCG WUs I was assigned as well (just stopped accepting tasks this afternoon, oops)

Im going to let it go over night 100% Folding@Home and see what it does. Here's what it looks like now, might get to add the 8800GTS in there too :D

A Google search turned up these and other responses...

That error is caused by inadequate privileges. If you are running Windows Vista or 7, disable UAC, reboot, and try again. If it still doesn't work or if you don't want to disable UAC, uninstall F@H and reinstall it in the root directory of your drive (ie: C:\Folding@home Windows SMP Client V1.01\ instead of C:\Program Files\...).

Is the client installed in Program Files? If so, Windows 7's security is blocking the file from being unpacked. Running the client as an administrator should get around this problem.

Could this be your problem. I've never seen this error but I don't use the Program Files folder.
 
Re-trying w/out using Program Files Folder. Thanks

Right Click on the shortcut......Click on Compatibility Tab and put a check mark on the "run this program as an administrator" under the Privilege Level;)

So I got the GPU client up and running right now. I'm sorry I waited until the last minute. If I can, I'll get the CPU one running tomorrow after work.

I entered my username as ChimPowerUp, and 0 for the team since I didn't see anything about it.

Is it legit to set up the CPU client late and get it running after the contest has started?

team is 50711
 
How can I reset the client?
 
Right click on the F@H icon in the system tray. Click configure and change the zero to 50711
 
How can I reset the client?

Turn off the client. Go inside the folder it is installed it, delete client.cfg file. Then restart the client, it will go through the prompts again.

If you are switching to SMP for the CPU client, delete the work folder so it will download a new work unit.
 
Thanks for the help, guys. I reset the client this morning before I came into work and now it's folding under the username and team number.

I'll get the CPU client set up tonight and get it folding as well.
 
Okay, I finally got three i7 920's folding using SPM2 (sorry couldn't run -bigadv).
One of my rigs restarted over the night so I lowered the oc to 3.45 GHz. The other two have been folding for about 14 hours at 3.8 GHz.

I am not sure what I will get for output, but it should help a bit at least:)
 
So, the challenge is officially on. Can we get a daily report of our chimp's great work (the points it puts out)?
 
I'll try to get all my clients moved over in the next few days, I should be kickin out around 18k PPD now.
 
Guys how do I make sure my cards are folding for the chimp challenge correctly? just got into folding to help out on the challenge and I am completely lost :laugh:
