Top 200 by 4th of July??? Who's game?

[Chevmeister]

At our current rate we will be close. We should hit 210-215, can we hit #200 by July 4th? Im going to try to turn on another I7 2600 in the next week or so, who else is willing to try to make a push. I got everything that doesn't get shut down folding.

I don't really have anything else to throw at it. Although I am planning on trying to cool my current video cards down on my main folding machine this weekend. If I can get them cooler without loosing any PPD I might add another card in the GTX 570/580 range.

I'll get my server back in the mix for a little bit next month. Now that summer is coming around (at least here in the desert), my power bill has been going up much quicker than I was hoping; so I'd pulled the plug on the folding. It's bad enough that the things suck down so much juice to fold, but the cooling bill wants in on it!

But late this month/early June I'll go all out for a couple weeks, see if I can help us toward 200th!

I just turned on my home server this week. Check out this PPD. I am just running in 2P 12-core stock clock on my 4P motherboard.

Too bad it was just an error. It is doing -bigadv with a TPF of around 24:25. . . so not terribly bad.

I'll try to get it up in 4P on all 24 cores by the weekend if I can. Hopefully it will scale well. It's taking ~40 hours for a -bigadv WU at 2.4GHz. I would like to get closer to 24 hr/WU but server motherboard overclocking is touchy.

I will see if Pat can turn some back on. He has been slammed trying to get the new building ready for the move and hasn't had time to baby sit the computers.

My i5 has been chugging away with little interruption since it's planting season and I'm never home. Once I move into the new apartment at the end of May I will have a couple of my cards folding again in an older pc, maybe another 8k ppd.

 

[jmaz268]

need to turn mine back on as well.

I need to figure out WTF is going on asap :rofl:

Sorry guys, I'll be turning on machines in the next few weeks.
Target date for the move into the new shop is July 1, and I'm still struggling with infrastructure in the new building, compressed air, forklift crap, networking, plumbing, electrical.

What does the advmethods flag do? I have one gpu, and the i7 doing most of my points. The i7 it set -smp 8 -bigadv and the gt430 has no flags. Is there any changes to get it to make more points. Even my amd quad cores, ones running all4 cores the other only running 3 but it has the Gpu. Am I set up right? The i7 has a gt430 but I read that it will slow down the CPU to the point it will hurt the points.
Last I have a cheap ati radeon in my amd single core, can I run the Gpu client on that card? The machine only makes like 200ppd, but it's on anyway so I figured why not let it fold.

-advmethods will cancel out the -bigadv flag as they do not work together.

Anyone know how to make my Gpu client run on window 7 after a restart? It fell off and I need to make sure it doesn't happen again.
