Restarting FAH

[Sequoyah]

I was out of folding for a while after a bit of a meltdown in my open cooling loop. Now that I'm back up, I loaded the new client.

This rig, pre-meltdown, would generate about 20m ppd. Since I got it working again, its running about 9-11m ppd. I feel like I'm missing something obvious. Any and all thoughts welcome... I'm used to the old console, is it still around?

Nvida driver is 581.57 - Oct 14, 2025

I really doubt you were generating 20m with v6 client.
And client version has no influence in PPD

Which completely ignores the fact that a 4090 can and will produce 20M PPD or more on average.


OP, if you just restarted it today, it's probably just a lack of a suitable work unit. There have been reported shortages for work units for the faster GPUs, so the ones you do get might take a dive on points until some new/old projects are added that are more in line with your hardware.

Not on V6 it won't, which didn't even have GPU support back then

[calxalot]

Why do you think they were using v6?

[muziqaz]

Why do you think they were using v6?

They used to.
Because they asked if there is a console version of the FAHclient.
Last console client was v6

[Joe_H]

Probably referring to v7's FAHControl as opposed to the web control only for v8.

[Sequoyah]

I misspoke. I meant the FAHControl program rather than console. My system went down in April or May. I was using a version 7 client I think. I got 20m at times, but not always. Thanks for your thoughts on the situation BoB, Muziqaz, calxalot, and Joe.

[prcowley]

Have you entered the passkey? This gives extra bonus points but it takes about 10 days before that starts to show in the stats.

[Joe_H]

10 WUs not days, and that only applies if a new passkey and username combination is used.

V8 has advanced mode which is near feature equal to v7
