Folding Forum

i have been meaning to get going with FAH for a while, and kick myself regularly for procrastinating. i build gaming rigs as a hobby and am tired of watching hardware collect cobwebs. so... hello.

dove into it without reading too much documentation. if the answer to any of my q's are "search the forum" or "read the faq" i will completely understand.

i requested and received a passkey, and entered it on the identity during configuration. my status page shows work being don via CPU and GPU, but i did see a passkey related error when setting up things, and there is no passkey (or dots, if the actual key isn't usually shown) when i look under the identity tab. is this normal, or did i make a boo-boo with the passkey?

also... am i correct in assuming that the client will automagically detect hardware and use it?

thanks!

ok so, nevermind on the passkey issue. re-entered and it stuck.

The client will generally auto-detect hardware and use the CPU and the GPU when appropriate. There are default usage settings that depend on whether F@H is installed on a desktop or a laptop. You can change settings from the defaults, documentation is available on the F@H web pages and assistance is available here in the forums. We can also help in those cases where the auto-detection does not work completely.
