Folding Forum

I do gaming a lot on my computer, so I can't have Folding running full power all the time. I want to be able to set a "while I'm working mode" and an idle mode, so I can have it use minimal resources while I'm working, then kick in to full gear when I go to sleep.

1) Suggestions like this are not really covered by our charter to provide support. They can, however, be directed to the Pande Group's discussion on their subreddit
2) To fold only when idle, you can already configure the V7 client with the settings "idle" = "true" either for an individual slot or for all slots on that client. I've found that folding with the GPU while trying to do something else has a pretty big impact whereas folding with most of your CPUs has a much lesser impact since the OS understands that FAH for CPUs runs at a very low priority. (That sort of configuration doesn't apply to GPUs.)

In other words, set the slider to FULL (for when you're sleeping) and idle to true for the GPU slot for when your working. If that doesn't give you what you want, provide the information described in the signature of my first post (above) and we'll have some additional suggestions.

All you have to do is have the "Advanced Control" window open to remind you. Then PAUSE when you start work and FOLD when you're done.

Borderline trivial but in the team rankings I'd like to see contributors whose last WU was, say, over a year ago, identified in some way maybe italicised or greyed out.

As Bruce mentioned previously ...
