hi i installed the client and initialy had no issues.

the first time i run it i had heat issues so i had to shut it down. while i was getting the heat under control i missed the first deadline.

when the first bigadv fiished it was in the night and when i looked at the pc the next morning i was met with deadline missed msg, but the client didnt download another WU. after a restart it downloaded an a3 wu (i think).

i was advised that sometimes if no bigadv is available it will do that. i let the a3 run and have just recieved another one. is this right or has someting gone wrong?

i double checked and i ran the right command  ./fah6 -smp 7 -bigadv

i noticed with the first a3 i got the client still shown 7 x 1 x 1 but the second one i recieved it shows 1x7x1, what is the relevence to this? if any

./fah6 -bigadv -smp 7 (this way)

Don't forget that you need to do 10 A3's before you can get the bonus points on the bigadv's

Are you running a stock CPU fan? If you are I would suggest an aftermarket cooler.

Folding whatever I can :o)

yes been running the a3 for a few months on a couple of i5 rigs

when i first put the i7 together last week i first put on a sythe ninja cooler, but temps was hitting 95degrees so swapped it to a titan fenrir and the temps where about the same, so i pulled the o/c back to 3.8 and its running at 65 degrees now.

thanks

i just swapped the flags round to ./fah6 -bigadv - smp 7 and it makes no difference.

also the way i had it first ./fah6 -smp 7 -bigadv is how the tutorial said to do it.

anyway 50% through my second a3 tooday so il see what i get next, but i think someting may be wrong

Hey, I dont know if its something you did wrong just yet. I have been folding other WU's besides the -bigadv now. They arent as common as they used to be so you might have to fold a few just to get one.

There may be a lack of bigadv work at the moment. One of my bigadv rigs has been receiving SMP2 work units instead.

Yes you can. You would use the same address format in HFM on the second PC.

\\IP\fah

Just make sure that the firewall does not block access to the network share via the VM otherwise the second PC will not have access to the share.

1055t

The 1055t may be fast enough however, I read this is a six core chip. The folding client needs to be able to detect 8-cores (or thread support) before it will attempt to download a bigadv work unit. Based on that, the 930 would be your best bet.

You can hit ALT+F2 and run the command info. This will give you the IP info. ALT+F1 takes you back to the main console.

one more question, I have ocz ddr3-1600 2*2gb ram and a ocz ddr3-1333 ram 1*2gb both dual channel, can I use this or do I/ should I get one of these?http://www.microcenter.com/search/search_results.phtml?Ntx=&Ntt=&Ntk=&N=4294966965+4294957262&Ns=P_RetailPrice&Nso=Ascending&sht=Any&prt=NewProduct&web_group= triple channel, thanks
 
edit; I put the mismatched ram in and ran your setup. Seems to be working, at 50% complete for a a3.  Could not have done it without the guide thanks linuxrouter and simc33
