So after 95:22 of use I've consumed 11.91 kWh on my PS3. It's still staying right around 125W. Not bad if you asked me. Certainly not a huge drain on a wallet to run F@H for a long period of time.

So what's the best way to get my i7 rig folding? I'm running Windows 7 64-bit. I don't think I can fold in OS X because the program isn't compiled for the processor. Any tips?

It should work fine. As usual, I recommend just using the SMP console client and forgoing front-ends like InCrease altogether.

When you use the console do you run a console per core or does it handle everything for you? I'm looking to boot Beast in Win7 most of the time now since I haven't been able to tweak him right as a hack. OnceI do that I'll have him folding again.

One client will start 4 cores by default. You can tell it to start as many cores as you need. Just follow the FAQ/guides on the project homepage.

Thanks! As soon as Beast finishes the current WUs he is doing I'll see about switching him over to Win7 instead.

Note that the Windows SMP clients use a hacked up implementation of MPI and are typically less efficient than their unix-based counterparts.

I'm so tired for trying to get folding running on Beast in Win7.
Everything I tries gives one error or another. I don't have the time to fight it out either. None of the guides actually work with my system either. Seems the real hitch is that I'm running 64bit and can't put in .Net 2.0. So now I'm back to running Beast with InCrease for now. The 2144 point work units fail to complete in time though. It takes days (7 estimated) for a Gromacs SMP to complete using InCrease on Beast. I'm pretty frustrated right now. At least I still have my PS3 going.

I don't know about the problem with Win7, but for .NET 2.0... I do believe it already should be installed and does support 64-bit. You can verify this by checking your Uninstall/Repair Software (you may need to check a box to look at Windows component or upgrades or something like that). I know that .NET 2.0 download gives out an error when it should have had said "You have it already installed."

I finally have Beast folding under Win7! I'm going to boot into Mac OS when I need to, but for the most part this system will likely stay booted into Win7 now.
It was a pain to get him running, but finally just followed the steps again and it worked. Currently running a A3 core with my new passkey. I hope to get us some good bonus points now too. Once I can get some RAM and graphics for my new system I'll get it folding too. (i7 860) Louis L'Amour, “To make democracy work, we must be a nation of participants, not simply observers.

So all of my points are from a PS3, i7 860 and and i7 920. It seems these A3 cores really work well. On Beast and Junior I'm using console mode rather than any GUI.
The A3 cores actually spread over all threads on the CPU too. The A1 or A2 only use the actual CPU cores not threads. I'm not sure why, just an observation from my two PC folding.

I guess I could put my HTPC to work on folding, it mostly just sits there except for when it's recording or my girlfriend is playing the Sims on it, which is pretty frequent. I'm not totally sure how to do it though, I guess I'll look back through this thread and figure it out. It can't be that hard...right?

I'm a little annoyed with my WU I've been getting lately on Beast. It's been crunching 1% of it at something like 2 1/2 hours! Nothing like what it normally pushes through. What's worse is that it failed final checks and got rejected!!!
Oh well. I'm not really that bothered, just trying to figure out a way to bring the thread back up and hope to add new forum members to the fold.

Flush your current work. I also see only 3 active workers on your stats page? Is that right?

My PS3 running 24/7 upped my electricity bill about $10-15 a month and I kinda freaked out.

I haven't had a computer folding in a few years.
I used to have 5 or 6 going from when I was on internships and installed it, but it seems as if all of those computers are now offline. With my primary computer being a laptop, I don't really have a chance to fold. No more Twitter. It's Mastodon now. |

Imagine my surprise when I started up an old machine the other day and noticed that it was still setup to fold for team AppleNova! It looks like the team has been inactive for some time now, but the project is still going strong! Does anyone out there still fold? Are there other, better uses of excess CPU capacity (other than bitcoin mining) out there that I should be looking into?

I haven't folded in a long time. It was my goal to beat Eugene back in the day...until he built the massive multi-GPU thing and I was out. I still folded for a good long while with the PS3 and some of my other PCs.
It is still a great thing to do with your spare CPU cycles though. Louis L'Amour, “To make democracy work, we must be a nation of participants, not simply observers.
