You may (or may not) already be using 100% of the computing resources. We need to see the first couple pages of FAH's latest log file: /var/lib/fahclient/log.txt. (The one you posted 32 hrs ago doesn't match the hardware description that you just gave.)

Which GPU drivers are installed?
Correct this is my gaming machine. I am used to a OSX environment. Only use Windows for games. This is the build I put together for myself. I'd like to have it folding while I'm traveling or at work.

If you want to fold on OSX, you will not currently be able to use the GPU(s). If you want to fold on Windows, you can. If you want to fold on Linux (which is the one for which you posted the log) you can if you have the right drivers. All three can fold with the i7 CPU although we need to figure out that part after we've worked out the other details.

Post the first few pages of whichever installation you're asking about. There are installation guides for all three operating systems. Have you reviewed the appropriate one?

Depending on the OS running on your gaming system, your F@H Configuration for dedicated folding would be:

OSX:
CPU:12
The GPUs are idle since they aren't supported for folding.

Ubuntu (with propriety Nvidia Drivers) & Windows:
CPU:8
GPU:0
GPU:1
GPU:2
GPU:3
Each GPU will use 100% of 1 CPU.

Please note that if you are switching between OS, it is recommended that you finish all WUs and then switch over to prevent WU/point loss.
