Hi Road Runner long time to chat. How you been?

Something most defiantly looks wrong somewhere with a 22 min TPF for this project.
Are you GPU folding or doing anything else with this rig?

Here are the TPF from 2 of my rigs with SMP+GPU's folding:

Name: E5620-SMP @ 3.6Ghz
Number of Frames Observed: 261

Min. Time / Frame : 00:10:22 - 17,632.7 PPD
Avg. Time / Frame : 00:10:54 - 16,354.6 PPD

Name: P55 Extreme i7 860 @ 3.2Ghz
Path: \\P55-extreme\Folding\
Number of Frames Observed: 100

Min. Time / Frame : 00:11:45 - 14,612.4 PPD
Avg. Time / Frame : 00:11:54 - 14,337.0 PPD

If the rig got shut down while folding it could have started in fale safe reduced mode 'Not running at optimized settings"
Stop fah add -forceasm flag to your shortcut to see if that will put it back on track.
Your TPF should be about half what its doing at the moment so long as there is nothing else running to hold it back.

Check for other running processes that might be stealing CPU cycles and try rebooting.

Been doing good, no its a linux dedicated folder smp only... Guess I need to go check it see whats up its a flaming blade board kinda flaky it had been off for awhile about a month since the last power outage I just booted it up a couple days ago and put it back to folding...

That should not be necessary, the newer cores do not need the -forceasm option as they do not have the alternate code paths available.

I dont know whats going on with the goofy thing must be throttling or getting to hot I started backing off the overclock that it had been running and its picking up speed lol got it down to about 10 minutes a frame.. Gave it the one unit till I get time to check it out...

rr: do let us know what you eventually discover.

Will do Bruce, I swapped out the memory right quick didnt make any difference as I figured it wouldnt.

May be the water block getting clogged and getting to warm water looks funky I havent changed it in years and didnt feel like messing with gkrellm or temp monitoring in linux.

Thinking about just setting it to stock clocks and buy a couple more nvidia cards but saw something about the code for the folding core going one direction and nvidia possibly not going that direction do you have any insight on that?

I think I will hold off and see what happens...

Whatever you saw about NVidia cards and a Linux core is premature speculation. Until something reaches the stage that it's ready for beta testing, there are still too many "what-ifs" that have not been solved. Not only are there unknowns about a possible FahCore that Stanford hopes to develop, but there are lots of unknowns about potential problems with the drivers that still have to be resolved.

It is impossible to predict what might be ready to release in a few days or many months from now. All we really know is that development work is on-going both by (in your case, NVidia) and by Stanford.

Sorry bruce forgot to add that I am using windows 7 with the video cards... I just hate to pick up a couple cards and in a few months wished I had gotten ATI/AMD cards..

The future looks bright:
