Where's all my Canadian "Folder's"?!

Are you still using those same computers?! That would explain why you've fallen over 260,000 points behind me?!

Hey man if I am managing to stay in the top 10 then all is good I never said I wanted to stay a head of you I just said I wanted to get a head of you which I did

LOVING the energy for this thing. 130 folders on board now..

 

[recidivus]

What's better than 130 members? 358 CPUs! Unfortunately my 2 will be off folding for a couple days, need the horsepower for work.

 

[Dusty_D]

Wooooot!!!

FYI, we are also ranked at Team# 961 of 217071.

Time to get more Canucks folding.

Don't want to let Dusty do it all by his self do we?

 

[Dusty_D]

It would be great to get more Canucks in there, but I am hardly alone. There are already a few of us in there, and the crazy Green dot has 3rd place locked down pretty tight. Futureshop ran out of Computers and Video cards over the holiday season, but I fully expect to see a resurgence come the new year..

Yeah I need more hardware I have two 9500 GT's just sitting collecting dust....

I'm trying to catch up to everyone, but I can't get the Debian client to fold on my GPU oddly enough. The v7 client shows downloading the WU, but in the logs it shows no WUs available.

Ubuntu is a PITA.

Can someone walk me through how to maximize my folding capabilities? I'm getting frustrated here, lol.

When I look at the "Work Queue", what exactly does the 'Credit' value mean? I noticed that the last one I had showed a credit value of 500+, however, just as it was completing (turned over to 100%), the credit value dropped to 100something. Also, the one before that, that took days to complete was showing a credit value of over 7000, however, when I look at my updated score, it's still under 5000....this has me very confused. Can someone explain it to me???

ETA: Reposted this over in the thread that Dusty suggested...ugh!

CG and Battlelance, I'd suggest posting your queries in the main thread for F@H: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/team-ecf-folding-forum/356041-help-fight-cancer-f-h-join-team-ecf-today-22.html#post8191125

Do you turn off your computer? Does it go to "sleep"? Your credits etc are dependent on how fast and consistently a computer completes the assigned WU's, I believe. So, if the PC is not folding 24/7, it may result in you not seeing the credits you are expecting.

^^ His response is much better than the "Did you try yelling at it?" I was going to post!

The sleep is a big one for sure, and it is based on the client running 27/4 ( its a new time continuum or I was too lazy to go back and fix it but now adding in the joke and explanation has lead me to rethink what was the less lazy choice to do...... )

My clients are folding just fine, I can't get a WU for my GPU (9800GTX+) on my other box. According to logs, there are no WUs available for my GPU. I'm going on the assumption that there are no WUs available that can complete within the time limit on this card.

edit: Nevermind, I just found out that GPU folding isn't supported (or rather, there are no WUs yet) under Linux. Oh well, time to fire up WINE and run the emulated Windows client.

OK BL I'll take you word for all of it

Think it's running, don't really understand it, but sounds like a good cause. I'm in.

Holy crap, have my laptop lifted up, to let some air under it. It's running pretty hot. Should I turn the folding off. It seemed to help a bit when I vented some of the heat.

Laptops just do not have the cooling capabilities to run 24x7. I've had the processor cores on my laptop go up to 90*C in a couple hours of folding. My desktop on the other hand has been folding non-stop since I started around a month ago, and the temperature on that is hovering around 60*C.

I would turn the laptop off and let it cool down, and locate the nearest desktop, even if it's an older PC for your folding needs.

When I get home from wrk I'm definately going to start up this folding thing. work away from home for 2 weeks at a time, so that would be lots of free cycles for my home pc to crunch numbers... use all 8 cores for madness

 

[shades]

I am no dusty lol but I hit the 1 mil milestone

 

[Projectguy]

I'm running a MacBook Pro and haven't seen any abnormal.

How do I check the temp?
