nah its any cpu you just have to have a fast enough wont to turn WU quick enough. reborn how do the large units give you better points? the 126-250point ones get me 8-10k a day but the 1000+ work units get me +-5k a day...i hate the big ones they murder my points.


edit right now i got a 1700point one getting me a total of 7k points but its 4k per day

SUCKS!!!!

Hey Buddy,

Yeh for me when I was folding on a few F@H clients back I would always manage to catch a big fish if you would like to call it. It would net me say 10k to 13k points in about 20hrs or so. Back then it seemed like quite a bit and was pretty awesome. However your right it doesn't seem or feel like that many points anymore, especially after HPCS.

With the newer F@H clients I found that my PPD was much more consistent, I would be getting 4k - 5k per each SMP WU which would take around 10hrs or so to finish. So if I calculated it roughly speaking I would be getting the same amount of PPD as the other so called bigger WUs that took close to 1 whole day to complete.

The only really awesome so called BIG WU's that I have really seen were when Thierry managed to catch one that was worth like 140K PPD. It took him like 2 or 3 days to finish but man that was well worth it ey lol

I would really want to see how the GTX680M (with its insane 1344 CUDA count) tackles Folding!

Cheers.

Congrats to the Chief for hitting 20 Million points!!!

Thanks DAN the MAN!

Hows the R4 going? Have you finally opened the box lol?

I want to see how this 7970M and Ivy bridge CPU goes up against F@H.
Hurry up lol lol ahahahah!!!

Cheers.

I thought you had to have an 8 core CPU running 16 threads to use the bigadv?



I could snag one and mail it to you. I'm talking to the rep right now. Don't know what kind of price he'll quote though.

Thanks Turbo man! If you really are able to snag the awesome 3riple pipped XM CPU HS. I wouldn't mind a couple of the CPU triple piped Ivy Bridge HS for the M18x.

I have funds ready and waiting in paypal ready to fire at you lol

Are you planning on upgrading your GPU and CPU HS's?

I'm thinking about upgrading my GPUs soon as well. Hmmmmm which HS should we get lol. 7970 or 680M!!!? Or Both HAHA!
I have a new set of 580M Nvidia HS as well that I bought off Joker last time. I reckon they may be useless now though seeing as Dell released newer updated HS for the 7970M. They should still be useable but I sure would like the best cooling solution if I was going to upgrade the GPUs.

Let us know how you go. Thanks.

Cheers.

When the Rep calls me, I will see how much they are and let you know. Worst case scenario, I'll grab one extra.

Sadly getting things ready for the upcoming baby, and going out of town and work have all kept me too busy to even open the box. I may ebay it off since I seem to not have much time for it. Though I am determined to fold for a couple of days on it just to evaluate the 7970 for folding and the Ivy 3720. I don't know I'm so torn on keeping it, and selling it to build a desktop. Not sure what I'd sell it for, probably around $2K shipped.

I know if I keep it I'm just going to want to keep upgrading it hahaha.

[bp101]

anyone have a solution to my problem? or at least know anything about it? it's really weird. it gets stuck on updating. but yet task managers says that fah is going, and using my cpu. so help?

EDIT: I reinstalled the client, and that seemed to work. I don't know what happened to that last WU, i guess it's just lost.

Sorry for the double post, but this is completely unrelated...

I was on folding.extremeoverclocking.com, just checking up on my stats and what not, and i happened to notice that while we have over 80 people on the nbr folding team, only about 20 of them are active, and a huge portion of our production comes from the top 10. So basically 10 people are carrying 70.

Was the team always like this or was there more participation at some point? We should get more ppl in again.

bp101, anyone who finishes 1 WU with our team number is considered to be part of our team. I don't think FAH@Stanford removes you off a team, they just keep record of your points, WUs, and which team those points were made on. Although many of us fold have folded for the team, we don't always have to opportunity to constantly leave our computers idle, that's what usually happens to the inactive people.

The reason why it seems like only the top 10 people are carrying the team is because they all got together and used HPCS (Hewlett-Packard Cloud Services) for the sole sake of folding (imagine you had 20 CPUs per 2 servers per 10 people which is 400 CPUs and their original desktop/laptop CPU work at the same time. Thus, the promotion boosted their PPD to several millions and pushed their rank in our team to top 10.

I used to fold on my laptop 24/7, but after hpcs, I basically stopped folding. Maybe I'll start up again soon...
