Have you checked if some of the server fans have died? A server should be able to keep its CPUs under the panic limit even at 100% utilization. It might be a good idea to replace the heat pad/paste as well. At 6 cores it wasn't hitting max temp, but the process was still dying an hour in. That's th...

That suggests that you are overclocking (yes, you might not be). FAH tends to produce more heat than the traditional overclocking benchmarking programs, so one of the FAHCores is probably unstable. Check the temperatures :!: We have a winner! Not overclocking AFIK, but since this is a production se...

I've just configured two servers to run FAH. They're in remote data centres, so all that's running is FAHClient, monitoring from my desktop. The older one, 8 cores, slower everything is running fine at 17.5K PPD. The newer one, 12 cores, faster bus/ram/CPU etc. F@h starts, reports about 2.3K PPD and...

Thanks again v00d00!

@v00d00 thanks, that was very helpful! Okay, second question. My laptop is a gaming machine, but since I use it mostly for development and less often photography, the CPUs tend to be busy while the GPU sits idle. My current status is running a task on a CPU core but the GPU is "waiting for idle...

Is there a system there with display you can use or remote connect to? FAHControl can be installed on a separate machine and be used to control one or more systems on the network remotely. Fortunately I speak fluent XML. Manually edited the file, restarted the service and now it's waiting for tasks...

This might not be a very basic question. I have a server-grade machine in a remote data centre that's used for backup storage. This means that the only interface is CLI and at most three of its eight cores get intermittent use. I'd like to set the configuration to maximize use of 5 cores and to take...
