Folding Forum

For anyone else is reading this, after setting it to 3 threads, and restarting the client, I finally got a WU assigned. Finally I can have my quiet PC...

Oh I love this thread, I am just leaving a comment here so there is a record of my personal history. I started folding when I was 13 - I saw that as a part of Google Compute on Google Toolbar. I was just curious. I have really liked science and maths when I was a child. I guess I still do. I am 33 n...

Anyways, do let me know when 2 threads assignment is allowed again. I want to save some cash. haha.

Well, I do wonder if it would help if I put the nvidia modules in /etc/modules. But I can't be bothered to test. I am okay to restart the service after reboot - I don't restart my computer all that often.

I have fah-client 8.4.9 installed on Debian Bookworms. I can confirm that fah-client had been added to the "render" group. I noticed that after rebooting my machine, fah-client doesn't automatically restart folding on my GPU. I have to restart fah-client service manually, then it would not...

Well, it turns out that my GTX 1080 is operating within acceptable noise limit. I don't think my wallet is too happy though.

I did try 3 threads, I still had difficulty with getting WU with 3 threads.

I just want to say I have a i7-8700K, and I folded with two threads to reduce the amount of noise. It is a bit annoying that 2-thread machines are no longer allowed to fold.

Longtime BOINCer, here because KREMBIL can't get it's act together to get WCG back up and running What's wrong with WCG? My WCG machines are still getting works fine. I prefer WCG on my super low end machines, because FAH doesn't have the option of pausing computation when CPU is busy. My "pre...

Oh my client makes the deadline fine. I don't think I need to add more threads. Why wouldn't you fold with fewer than 4 cores?

I remember at one point there was an announcement that single-core tasks were being deprecated. Are there plans like that for dual-core tasks?

I have just got myself a second hand desktop. I now have a Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700K CPU, which has 6 cores. Historically I have been using quad-core laptops, and I had been donating 2 cores 24x7 to keep the noise down. Now I have a desktop with proper cooling. I am just re-evaluating how many core...

May the power be with You all.

Did you start getting the problem after the upgrade? Or has the problem always been there?

That did the trick, thanks!

If you add <pause-on-start v="True"/> to the gpu slot, that should stop fah from running on that gpu. I use it for cpu, but I assume it would work the same for gpu. As I mentioned, I manually paused it, so it is okay for now. I just don't like seeing that slot. Is there any ways to remove...

I have a Geforce GT 730M. I am on Debian. FAHclient is configured to run as a service. I recently upgraded my FAHClient to 7.6.21. Now FAHClient automatically adds a GPU slot when I reboot. I don't want to use my GPU for folding, as it is a really weak GPU. It barely complete the task within the dea...
