Official 2010 Chimp Challenge Thread

are you using the -smp flag?


for you that aren't getting any work using the SMP client make sure that you have it so it selects advanced units

@mailman are you willing to try CPU again if i try to help you out step by step with screen shots along the way? If so PM me tonight or tomorrow and i will put something together for you

 

At the end of your shortcut target you need to add a space then enter -smp after that another space and enter -advmethods

 

That did the trick

My suggestion is to add to your shortcut...

-smp X -advmethods -verbosity 9
Where X is #of cores.

If I'm correct what everybody else missed is that your running a SMP on an i7 920 and since the client didn't detect all your cores you need to add...

-smp 8 -advmethods -verbosity 9

 

First time folder!!!

 

ok i got it all up and running, might even add my laptop to the mix a little later(celeron 520 oc to 2ghz! lol)

....

i keep getting an error when i try to upload my img...

"folding1.jpg:
This PNG image has the incorrect file extension."

well anyway... i was gonna show a pic with my ppd...

9600GT: 3800ppd
Athlon II X4 630 @ 3.0ghz : 725ppd

are these numbers about right?

... i'm guessing the celeron with dig up another 200 or so lol

 

I just got a g92 8800gts from my uncle, which will replace the 9600gso in my main rig. The 9600gso will go in my server as a dedicated folder, so I'll get at least 4k ppd from that. How much will the g92 8800gts get at stock clocks (674/1674/1940)

 

maybe 5k due to extra shaders... or even close to 5.5k?

 

I would say that is about right on the 9600GT my 8800GT(stock) ~4.5k
The athlon II X4 i'm not sure but seems to be about right(are you using FAHmon or HFM.net? to get PPD)

BTW my i7 is about to turn-in a WU for chimp
I think after it is done i am going to try to get alittle better clocks from my i7 so when May 5th comes around i am at peak production.

 

FAHmon, was actually about to get hfm.net for my laptop...

just overclocked the laptop to 2.0 from 1.6 and about to give it a try at folding.



lol its only getting 124ppd

 

I got the 8800GTS installed in my main rig, and the 9600GSO is installed in my server (I'll post pics soon, hehe). Everything has gone smoothly thus far. I'm on my server right now, download nvidia drivers. Since the card was BIOS flashed, it's already overclocked... the 8800gts needs tweaking, but not right now.

 

Could it be Sarge....No, Rosemary the telephone receptionist....No, Penry the mild mannered Janitor....Could be!!

Allright, the 9600gso in installed and working, and the server is packed away in it's little corner where it belongs. The 8800gts is in my rig, and working beautifully. This should double my output... heh heh. Here's the pics of the rigs now:

The server:


The main rig:

 

Makaveli, could you check that you have your Username and Team Number set up correctly.In your first pic it is not set up right.You can scroll up in the console window to check.

The username is ChimPowerUp and Team Number is 50711

Also with your i7, if you have hyperthreading enabled, make sure to run -smp 8 as an argument in the shortcut.It will then utilise all 8 cores.

If you need help to change it , just PM me.
Also welcome to the Team

EDIT:You can also PM me for the Passkey (which it will ask for if you have to change your UserName and Team Number)

 

What is the passkey for? Do I need it?

 

Thought id turn up

Well as my 8800gt doesnt do much most days id thought id put it in the loop.



Hope this little fold helps.

 

Welcome to the team

A tip for all the new people folding on their GPU's, Keep an eye on your temps, they can heat up quite quickly.Maybe set your fan to manual control and up it to ~80%.

 

Thanks for the advice, but owing to a crap sparkle fan ,i have modded it to run of the board header with an intel c2d heat sink fan zip tied to the 8800 gt(58 degrees @ 98% is pretty good

and thanks for the welcome,

Hug

 

No probs, 58C is good, you should have no worries.

 

I bought my uncle's 8800GTS, so I'll be bringing about 9k ppd rather than 4k. If I overclock my 8800gts, it'll be about 10k

 

cheers for the tip-age

had this pop up when i ramp my shaders up any ideas, ive ramped em down a bit now 1728 shaders as opposed to 1780

so were the oced shaders causing this issue?
