Jedi, just a note of thanks for this great setup program.  Just a little concerned that the point totals I see in the tracker aren't matching what folding@home has.  Could the smp bonus be wrong or something?

Ok, Am i doing something wrong??? I switched over to this outstanding program, an i love it!!! But I have noticed that my CPU runs cooler (using realtemp) 60 - 65 * each core, as when I ran just the smp long install and setup version I ran 70 to 75 * each core, also noticed it takes about three to four days to finish a wu and it used to take 24 hours to 2 at the worst 3 days...

So what did I do wrong???

I haven't gotten a bigadv since I set up GPU tracker ( I knowtheres a shortage) but I wanted to make sure. I just clicked the bigadv box, I didn't select -advmethods or any of the other boxes.

Hey jedi... in my thread about 912/925 WU's there is now info that in order to get those WU's one must have -advmethods tag in place.  Looking at my setup the Tracker has the following arguments in place for my Fermi cards:

 Arguments: -oneunit -forceasm -forcegpu nvidia_fermi -gpu 0    
 Arguments: -oneunit -forceasm -forcegpu nvidia_fermi -gpu 1   

 
Is this something you can look into to see if we can get that argument/tag added?

Here's the post I mentioned above...

For Heat Control, make sure it saves the settings and that you are using the GPU2 client. The settings for Heat Control only save when you switch which GPU you are changing settings for or hit apply.

hey jedi. still confused. I'm running -bigadv and want to keep it selected. if I select -advmethods (for my gts 450's) what will happen to the -bigadv on my i7?

Also, if I want to switch the number of cores between 7(while at home) and 8 (while im at work/sleep) do i have to select it and then stop all my folding, exit and restart? What do i need to do to switch between 7 and 8 cores?

Question for you Jedi.

Today, I already had a SMP CPU job (a 6701 WU) running on my PC that was ~ 32% complete via the "FAH-630.exe" program.  I wanted to play with your FAHGPU app from the perspective of running both that CPU job and a couple of GPU WU's on my GTX470's. 

So I first temporarily suspended the 6701 CPU job via Cntrl C within the FAH-630 client and it closed normally.  Then I started up your FAHGPU software and enabled the SMP and both GPU clients to run.  Within the first 5 mins, the GPU clients began running and reporting their % Completion as expected.  The CPU client was also running and reported that it was working on a 6701 WU at 0% Complete.  I watched for the progress of the CPU client to report the first amount of progress and when it did report, it showed 1% Complete.  I was expecting that it would grab onto that uncompleted 6701 WU that I had previously suspended (which was at ~ 32% Completion when I suspended it).  But, FAHGPU showed 1% Complete instead. 

So, my question is, should FAHGPU have picked up on that previous 6701 WU and reported ~ 32% Complete rather than 1%, or did it start a new 6701 WU?

I'm also running the latest version of your software.

Thanks,

Rick
