Folding Forum

The Medium power setting uses one less CPU core than the total available. In the case of your i5 processor that means it uses 3 of the 4 cores. The Light setting will use half the cores. As I'm trying to explain, this does not seem the case for some WU's. The one I posted the screenshot of in my to...

But in general even 75°C is safe for a CPU 24/7 usage and the core temps may be even higher. The max core temp for intel CPU is 98°C when it starts to throttle and reduces core clock. hmm, don't know about that: https://ark.intel.com/products/80817/In ... o-3_40-GHz https://media.natuurkunde.nl/con...

My machine is an off-the-shelf, and the cpu cooling system is just coping. Depending on the WU temperatures can run relatively high, and just for safety's sake I would like temperatures to stay at max 60°C while I check, as in my experience during some parts of a WU this can jump to still a few degr...

I'm afraid you may be overestimating me on my computer capabilities.
I wouldn't know where to look for those back-ups, and Explorer search gives no return on "fah log"

Sorry, didn't think about making another copy of the logs. Superficially it looked the same, but I didn't take note of any details like the one you're asking for now.

This morning no change however.

So I deinstalled and reinstalled folding, and am now working on another WU

no guarantee it won't reassign the same WU

spot on

Well, I'll close down and try again tomorrow.

Thank you for your help.

For now I would just suggest pausing the CPU slot.

you mean, put Folding on Pause and see if tomorrow that core has been updated in the meantime?
No elegant way of just throwing this away and getting a working WU until this has been cleared up?

My machine is trying to download this, but it is going nowhere. It hung like this for over a day, I deleted folding suspecting software problems, reinstalled Folding, but by chance or otherwise I'm back where I started: Ik hope someone can make sense of these logs? *********************** Log Starte...

Strangely, this one restarted without so much as a hint as to what happened in the logs (as far as I can see). Am I overlooking something?

In other words, no clear reason to be found here? In all the years I have been Folding I had the occasional restart, usually to be traced back to not properly closing (e.g. power failure, and indicated in the logs in such a manner that even I could understand that something went horribly wrong), two...

Can anyone find a reason in those logs why that WU started all over again?

For the second time Project: 7703 (Run 2, Clone 5, Gen 7) failed somewhere over halfway on my machine. This time without any apparent reason it started all over upon restarting my machine: [13:21:16] Called DecompressByteArray: compressed_data_size=1004645 data_size=2267148, decompressed_data_size=2...
