Yeah, I found that, and I'm there, so I assume I did it right,
now how do I get that Folding : counter 
on the left under my name?
 
hmm, after only 4 hours it looks like I've killed the fan on my 460 oc ee.
has developed a seriously irritating whine whenever it under load.
damn

 well, I certainly don't have that kind of cash lying around just to 'fold' with!
I tried setting up the core selection option in Tracker, clicking apply and making sure the
applying new config settings line came up, but it kept using all the cores.
Also in the setup/configure/heat control there appears to be an option to select
'default GPU usage percent' but that does not appear to work either.
I changed it to 50% hit apply, but it continues to use 100% and when I return to
the heat control screen the percentage has returned to 100%.
strange.
 
Are you watching the performance tab in task manager?

Replies may appear at odd times as I am in Australia (9.30 am 26/5 or 5/26 as you put it!)
 

I guess you really are on the underside of the world. 8^)

Hi rklapp,
Using performance manager and also have a windows "desktop gadget"
from here http://gallery.live.com/l...a0d6&bt=1&pl=1
that is pretty useful for monitoring CPU usage.
Forgot to mention my O/S is Win 7 64 bit with service pack 1 and all the other updates etc
 
Yep we certainly are on the lower end of the world!
 
weird thing, been playing COD 2 getting up to 750 FPS and 55 degrees celcius and don't get that whine, (fan at 50-60%)
as soon as I start folding with the GPU the whine starts even before the fan spools up
don't get it doing Furmark bench tests either.
Some sort of electrical problem? dunno. most strange

If you set for 3 out of 4 cores for example, you'll still see activity of the 4th core. If you add up the %usage on all of the cores, it should add up to 75% plus whatever the system is using.
 
The whining is from the card's capacitors. I had a 470 that made a high pitch squeal until I changed the psu and the noise almost deminished.

hmm, I tried that, still maxed out all 4 cores.  strange.
The power unit is brand spanking new Antec  Truepower  750 so that
should not be a problem. As I said, it only does it when folding,
benchmarking/burning in at 100% does not get the whine from the GPU.
odd.
I'm only folding with the CPU until I can figure out how to limit the GPU
when folding.
Question. Why are the CPU projects worth so little points even though they
take quite literally 100 times longer?
edit to add - definitely not the fan making that whine. I can make the pitch of the
whine change by changing the core clock speeds with precision, lower speed = lower pitch
higher speed = higher pitch. Still only making the noise when folding

Hi there guys and girls..
 
My name's Fred and I run a online store in South Africa (Not as far away as the Aussies, but on the way) - don't go googling for it just yet, we're still busy loading products and started lagging behind as we kept getting orders before loading our list completely.
 
Just getting my name on here. I'm folding with 2 laptops (One is running the a4 - dual core and the other the normal single core) as well as a PC running the GPU version with a GTX280. I put my name down on the list and see the first finished WU is up on the stats, so I think I'm sorted. (Anything I left out? Please let me know)
 
I lost a family member about 2 years ago to cancer, but haven't heard of folding until a couple of months ago.
 
I find it's always nice to do what you can to help others out and who knows; 50 - 60 years from now I might sit with Alzheimer's or Cancer and would've wished more people joined the cause.
 
SA is lagging behind on folding, but I'm planning on starting a little initiative a bit later, perhaps giving a free EVGA t-shirt every now and then with my earned rewards to get things going (Will of course get people to join the EVGA team while doing that although I think my customers getting their boxes stating very big #1 folding@home team might just do the trick).
 
See you guys around.

Hey All! MisterGhost here just started folding a few minutes ago. Heard about it before but never tried it until today. Hope I can share some tips and get some advice when I can use it. Well pretty much Folding to put my GTS450 to good use and not only for video games.

Hi Bikers and Welcome.
 
If you have the F@H tracker installed then yes you use team 111065 and your name in the tracker like this:

If you don't have the tracker it can be found here: http://forums.evga.com/tm.aspx?m=219556
You'll also need a passkey which can be gotten here:http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/getpasskey.py
You can see how many EVGA Bucks you have if you click on Member Home up the top to the right.

Cheers buddy. I think I have updated all I need to in profile. Will sort out when I get home the team changeover. I have a passkey, do I need to change it when I change teams? Do I need the tracker? I use FAHmon at min

Bikerz... no you don't need a new passkey
however you have to re-prime it again for the new team
(you have to do another 10 wu's before you can get bonus points for Bigadv)
 
if you have you profile all straight with your Folding name the same as your login name and all the other info shykal gave you - you should be set
 
PS:
welcome to all you new folders...
you have joined a great team and hope you enjoy your partcipitation here

Re:New EVGA Folder Check-IN 2011/06/09 16:48:31 (permalink)
Since I just ordered a new EVGA 560 Ti to go with my 2 year old EVGA X58 760 (which my dumb brain failed to register) and because I'm in a mood to slowly upgrade my system, I decided to tax the bejeezus out of the CPU and fold.
 
Guess you can call me a newbie at this. 
A few things about me:
I hold the patent for dirt, meaning I'm an old fart (56).
Currently running an Intel I7 950 with 12 gigs of OCZ Gold.  Yeah it's old too.
Tomorrow my new 560 comes in to replace the 275 in my system and that 'old' card goes into a build for a friend who is a bit down on their luck.
I don't OC yet, played in that arena years ago but it was iffy back then.  I need to learn more.
That's about it, oh and I joined the EVGA folding team... eh, it's a good cause and like many of you I keep my system on 24/7.  Had to find some way to justify the upgrades.

Hi ya All,
 
just checking in and i hope that i'm GPU crunching right,  as the download page sent me to the CPU download page...
 
here have a look :-
http://www.evga.com/folding/download.asp
as you hover over the GPU and CPU downloads they are the same page,
when in-fact i believe the GPU page should be... 
 
http://folding.stanford.edu/English/DownloadWinOther
 
if so, please adjust the links.....
 
regards
Robo

Greetings,
 I have a spare system settting around.  The system is Q9550 2.8 ghz on an EVGA i790, 8 gb of ram, along with 2 EVGA 465 Video card in SLi running Win 7 (64 bit).   This system can be totally used for Folding. 
Which would be better, the CPU client or GPU or both?  Have have other questions, so who would be a POC?
THank you for your time.
 
Mikey

Can my Q9559 CPU run under (enable bigadv)? I am running SMP along with GPU0 and GPU1.  How do I get the EVGA's sig for folding?
Thanks

No! 9550 cannot do bigadv... not enough cores
(extremely tough to make the deadline and get the bonus points)
 
sigs can be gotten here

Yup, you need 8 cores (or threads) to do a bigadv, the the minimum with 8 cores is 3.6 ghz.
