Almost got into Red territory again

I knew something was up - I just could not figure why the totals changed so quickly. I just guessed it was something you were doing Shemp - but thats not bad. :cool: I'm l33t like that LOL. :rolleyes:

yeah those 1.42's were the only offically overclocked machine Apple ever put out - out of desperation when Mot went tits up. Those CPUS are really rated at 1330 Mhz. Maybe reduce the CPU usage on each CPU by about 20% or so and see if that makes it go away, that would help methinks.
 
Folder G5 (me) WU Oddity

My initial setup was with G5's and apparently the version of the client was not working well with these processors so I had initial huge WU scores. It's working well now, however.

Cheers!
 
:D G5s are working real well now though, eh?

i just added a 2x2GHz a few momo's ago. 'cuz i seem to be addicted.

I'd say that crosses the line.
 
Well we need to get more machines - SAGoons is producing just 1k behind us....today we have 28k and they have 27k. If we don't get more soon someone will be passing us!

ha if theyre really not into computers it'd be on there forever :D :D

if they accept your default config, then they are accepting anything malicious you might have put on there. so i would say they are asking for it, but they are also taking your setup in good faith....

computer ppl should never assume anything though. whats the worst that could happen-- they would delete the program???
 
Nah, I'm not really gonna be doing that. That would be wrong. But, until I'm ready to sell, I'll have two computers folding. And my new 1.25 ghz should fold a little faster than the old 800mhz, so even when I'm back down to one, I'm helping a little more than before!

Then again, I could list Folding @ Home as one of the included programs, and let them know that they will be folding for team macrumors until they decide to stop/change it.

Your last post hit the nail on the head. Just let them know and it's up to them. Explain the cause and they may keep it running! It doesn't hurt to try.
 
When i installed F@H on my tibook the fan was running about every 10 min and it normally never runs. I could feel the heat rising up through the keyboard. The fan is really annoying and i don't want my laptop to melt or something like that. So sorry I can't help.

You understand... Titanium's melting Point is
3020.0 °F
1660 °C

Sorry... I'm still thinking we need to get the folding client to have a 'max CPU' limit like I saw a windows client have...

Some people are being discouraged because of the heat/noise...

:(

I put my Ti1000 up on one of those iCurve stands, which raise it up and allows air below it. It folds 24/7 and the fan rarely comes on. It's pretty quite even when it is on so it's not a big factor anyway.

the CLI client does, if u delve into the advanced options

u can specify idle/low and %CPU to use, of course it take forever on a percentage of CPU

I suppose, but with the script you made I really don't know how to do that...


Alas. A GUI controller for this script would be nice. ;)

Max % CPU when idle...
Fold During Restart...
Advanced Features...
Work currently...
Possible finish date...
