THGC - Folding@home team 40051

Hello distributed computing fans

<A HREF="http://forumz.tomshardware.com" target="_new">Tom's Hardware Guide Community</A> has a very successfull <A HREF="http://vspx27.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=teampage&teamnum=40051" target="_new">team</A> working in the Folding@home distributed computing project. As we climb through the <A HREF="http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_summary.php?s=&t=40051" target="_new">ranks</A> we are continually seeking other members to join this team and bring it into the top 100.

Folding@home is a serious scientific project carried out by <A HREF="http://folding.stanford.edu" target="_new">Stanford University</A>

I sincerely hope you'll join us in helping to cure disease and make both Folding@home and team THGC a success!

In one of the many Folding threads, someone posted a method for benchmarking a users computer. There was a method for users running the console as well as the graphical client.

Would you mind pointing me to that post or recreate it here for me?

Thank you for your help.

These instructions are done from memory. I may have left some information out. Let me know if you succeed of fail with these instructions. (Reply to this post)

Graphical Client:

Right click on the F@H icon in the system tray and click on configuration and enter 40051 as your team number.

Console Client:

Shutdown the F@H client. In the folder where you installed F@H is a file called config.* Use notepad to open the file and where is says team number = xxxxx, change the number to 40051. Save your changes and restart the F@H client.

This forum is not very active. There are very active F@H threads in the CPU, Memory & Graphics forums. You might want to check out those forums as well.

I'm guessing the instructions are similar for linux or any other non-Windows OS.

Welcome to the team!

The team appreciates your help!

I just joined... Is there anything like SETI Spy out there for FAH? Which CPU's perform best on it?

700 Mflops in SETI!

I finished my first 3 work units over the weekend

Hey! You're back!

I started folding about a week ago. I don't have much, but I'm giving it hell. I think I have 5 WU's finished so far.

Hey I didn't know Tom's had a section labeled Distributed Computing. I'm going to see if we can encourage everyone to move discussions over to this forum area.

i agree with you (boring voice)

yeah, good idea to come here, hope we can get some tutorials and whatnot.

(other distributed computing projects don't matter (joking))

do you guys know that SETI is asking for donations? it makes me so sad to see such an honest project going bust.

I shall now annoy people in this section of the forum!!!

My production has gone through the floor, I have no idea what happend a few of my PC's. They are at remote location so there is no way to monitor them, grrr.

Super, what'd you finally get your benchmark to? Mine has settled at 9320.

8664 but im stuck back at 2750, I need to re-up the voltage and kick it over 2800Mhz. Damn your San Diego Core lol

*ComputerDude

The only benches I know of for F@H are the ones that are listed in FahMon. What bench are you and SuperFly using?

You can also use the -Verbosity 9 arguement for the F@H Graphical client. Benchmark gets recorded in your fahlog.txt file.

True enough, just thought it should be mentioned.

Also, I lied about my benchmarks. I'm up to 9536. Hehe.

Still need to play with my RAM timings some more. If I'd just pull my wallet out and get some dang water cooling, I know I could break 10k on that benchmark...did a little testing and found that my processor will stay stable up to 2.97GHz if my CPU temp stays under 42C. Too bad I can't keep it that cool on air. Oh well.

-J

I see we jumped to 89!

My machines finished 3 WU today but my stats only show 2? I guess it's not all about the credit I get, but the team sure could use it.

I singed up for the heavy cores...is it normal to get them with 20 million steps? Jeez that takes a while.

how about just keep that machine (with slight OC or not) on double folding and use it as a water heater.

Ara

YOu are such a punk... I can't even get past 2750 if my RAM is on a DDR333 Divider and now you have another proc to OC. DAMN, lol. Good job man and congrats, but becareful water is abitch. Mine is acctually leaking slowly atm which is why im headed to get some sealent again. My advice, stay away from plastic splitters and tubing that is not compatible with compression fittings (which is use lol). It was an interesting "mod" to get the tubing to work.

Fix your sig.

Congrats everyone on breaking the 7 million mark. Keep up the folding.

doesn't happen unless you end the "fahcore_x" in the task manager or something goes wrong (not sure exactly what really), but under normal circumstances, it shouldn't happen, My P4 has dropped 2 WU's which it has re-done, i'm just glad it wasn't one of the big 20,000 framers.

BTW, guys, is there a 64bit version of F@H? would it benefit speed?

first time was my fault, second time i was having stability problems because i was playing with clock speeds, so those are both accounted for, i haven't had any others so far...

i'm just glad i was on one of the shorter WU's. The RAM you find in this country isn't great, it's all generic. And the biggest brand name i've seen (which i have 2 out of 4 modules in my computer) is kingmax (not kingston) and i don't think this brand is something great, but so far they have overclocked well. i just need cooling to pump up my processor voltage.
