I'm going to be close but don't think I'll make it, I bumped up my home pc to 80% cpu, and starting to cause lock ups. not sure what is the cause, but ever since I did the clean install of XP when ever I push the limits of the folding it locks.

not even sure where to start to find the cause, I noticed that it was hitting 68C when I pushed it to 90% cpu figured the stock cooling wouldnt take that very long so I brought it back to 80% it droped to 64C but there is still the whole locking issue...

I think you found the cause.......TEMPS!!!!!

Waaay to high!
Folding doesn't even generate as much heat as prime95...It still generates 99% as much, but your teemps should deff be below 60C even with 100% use.....

totally agree. get some better aftermarket cooling solution. not just because of folding but any other application that would stress your rig.
you should deffinitely keep your temp below 50C @ full load.

Ok, well I just signed up - well downloaded and ran anyway :)

name is - KnightRid


Have 2 computers on it now, think they are 2400+ cpus each...my main 3ghz system isnt on it yet, but depending on how many units I can get done for that t-shirt I might put it on ;)

Mike

Now if only I knew how to get a CHEAP rackmount system with, oh say, 200 cpus :shock:

WOOHOO - 1 WU done..LOL...

93 points :| Thought they would be worth more than that, especially since it took - ummmmmmm....about 19-20 hours to do :shock:

Dont think I will hit those numbers either :)

Mike

I need to build some dual core rigs...now if someone would just send me the money for the parts......;)

Any points is better than no points! Welcome to the team. It's actually kind of fun watching your output increase as you upgrade your PC over the months.

Mike

I am actually happy I am at least doing something to help people...did Seti a while ago, but that didnt seem to be going anywhere. This at least should help out somehow!!!

What people must remember with folding is.....
If you submit a completed WU, It's just as good as finding a cure....
Who knows what that WU means to Stanford....It could be something which tells them not to look there....therefore saving them weeks/mths of research
It could mean nothing, but again @ least Stanford know not to look there again.......

Sorry to do this!
In the words of Spock
"if you eliminate all possibilities, the only remaining posibility must be the solution" --> or words to that effect (never was a big trekie)

Folding, we'll get there...... :|

yeah, we will go where no folder has gone before LOL.

on the other hand I can see that with my 3.2prescott @ 3.7 I'm not even able to perobably reach half of the t-shirt point limit :( even though my rig is on 24/7)
oh, well just keep folding anyway. maybe it will save someone's life one day , than it was allready worthed.
