One particular disappointment with the MSI board is that the vcore adjustment has been removed from the BIOS David, I'm sorry to be picking on you but there is a thing I think I've mentioned before. If your board does not support VCore adjustment you can not have any decent overclocks. Period. The ...

Wow. This is certainly impressive. Here is what I've found. My dual Xeon 2.2 got 3 of those puppies and if I just run 2 of those I get something like 2,300 PPW but if I run all 4 clients (2 others are some regular Gromacs) then my actuall PPW gets down to 1,500 PPW. So what I'm saying is that if you...

Exact name from the fan is FBA08A24L. At 12v it moves no air at all. The other one I'm using is FBA08A12L. This one moves quite a bit of air at 12v (I guess around 24 CFM :P ). It is pretty quiet at 12v but I can definitely hear it. It is also made in Japan as opposed to the 24v model which is made ...

I tried this a while back and it was very cool. The only problem was that when it does a checkpoint, it writes a bunch of stuff and it seemed to be kinda slow over the network.

Well this is certainly very nice that we have one more active member but I wonder whether this is a typo. If you are thinking wtf is he smoking, here is the thing: there are 2 ArtCubed. Specifically there is ArtCubed and Artcubed. With separate scores. I wonder if this is the same person and he did ...

You ARM guys are cool. Thanks for help in folding.

I figured F@H is a decent stress test for the systems you build so I actually insist that you run 24hrs of F@H before you ship a PC to a customer ensuring the solidity of your product

In general I feel this is not right. I realize that it might be difficult if not impossible to predict how many points to give for a particular WU but this one is just WAY OUT!

You wanted to say: "Go ARM!"

Well ARM systems got WUs that they wanted I can't see why you can't ask Vinay nicely and get a big bag of those 804s.

No, let's assume it was something silly this way they have to explain it wasn't

What was the problem? How can firewall affect what type of WU you are getting?

Their output is so ridicolously high that they screw all my graphs on all stats pages. Their graph goes upwards at 45 degree angle and all the rest are flat :shock: Good work guys! I wish you to move out of my line of sight asap so I can enjoy seeing my real opponents again. Btw my vision is still b...

My Barton 2.4 Ghz is getting 1,291 PPW on one of these. 54.50 points, 4:17 per frame. w00t! Update: my dual Xeon got 2 of those and each CPU brings me 920 PPW :shock: so the PC gives me about 1,800 PPW :shock: :shock: Does it look like this protein is misconfugured as far as the point value goes? An...

No offense to you guys with all these "my PC gets this many PPW" (I'm also the one to blame here) but for example my Barton produces from 500 to 900 PPW depending on the protein. All those are Gromacs BTW :) Additionally there is one protein (forgot the name) where my 2.1 Ghz Duron is almost equal t...

See my other post "Newegg and Panaflo". I managed to get 24v fans and was running them at 12v (and also at 10v ). The were clicking. But I guess it is not very relevant granted those were 24v fans

I guess this is not very interesting for all of you but I have to confess in my utter silliness. I managed to get 24v Panaflos from Newegg and have been wondering for like 6 months "why on earth they complain about the sound of a Panaflo???". Now I see why I wasn't able to hear the sound, the fan wa...

This has a potential to evolve into a very technical thread.

/me applauds for NullObject's great knowledge of sysinternals

13:18 - Pentium III 1.05 GHz - 250 PPW
08:39 - Duron 2.1 GHz - 385 PPW
09:28 - Celeron 2.8 GHz - 351 PPW

This article clearly states the requirements for the HTPC: http://www.firingsquad.com/guides/building_home_theater_pc/ Upsampled DVD-Video: 1 GHz is plenty High-Quality Digital Video Recording: P4 2.0 GHz or Athlon XP 2400+ Windows Media HD 1080p: Athlon64 3000+ or P4 3.0+GHz So if you run F@H you w...

I assume he is using console. 1. I don't know. It should not happen. Try not running F@H and try maximizing via Alt+Enter and see what happens. I just tried on my box with F@H console running and got into full screen okay. 2. Right-click on the toolbar of the command window. Select Properties. You s...

If you compared AMD working on Gromacs and Xeon working on Tinkers then it's apples and oranges. Tinkers are way slower, by a factor of 2 or even 3. The advantage of Xeons is that you can build a dual CPU machine and with HT you can run 4 clients on it! The output of the dual 2.2 Ghz Xeon is almost ...

I'm getting approx. 1500 PPW from dual Xeon 2.2 GHz. 4 clients. Pretty cool, sort of equals the output of my 4 PCs at home.

Yes they are p4 Xeon 2.2 Ghz with HT. So far I'm not very impressed with the output, about 1000 PPW running 4 clients. I've got p4 3.2 here, will try 2 clients one day.

I've recorded 891 PPW on my o/ced to 2.4 Ghz 2800+ (unlocked at 200 MHz FSB). I assume David's numbers should be pretty close because he runs his at 2.2 Ghz.

There is a question of whether FAHLogStats numbers are too optimistic (I know they are) but I like optimistic numbers so I use them

We've got an 8-way Xeon here at work. 1.4 GHz :P I don't know if it is based on p3 or what but it's 1.4 Ghz. Needless to say it is such a wimpy machine. Not to undermine Stevo's but there are Xeons and there are XEONs :) BTW my 2.2 Ghz dual Xeon seems to be at something like 1000 PPW only :( Quite a...

I don't think it is related to "locking" but rather to the fact that you aren't using the PC for some time and it changes it's state to something. I don't know what that something is but suspect it has to do with power saving, etc. There are settings in BIOS, there are settings in control panel and ...

Yes this is the solution I had as a plan B.

Will GAH points count towards our team points or it is a separate thing?

Thanks!

machineId should be different only withing same physical machine, if I'm using several clients, yes? If all my machines are single CPU then I can use machineId=1 on all of them yes? Does it mean that I can run max of 8 F@H clients on a single machine?

Silly questions I know

Ok going back the topic. How can you download several WUs and run them sequentially on the machine that is not network enabled. It is really a pain to carry that WU to and back on a pendrive all the time. I'd want to request several WUs from the server and process all of them, then carry all of them...
