FAH Control?

How do I add CPU's to my Folding as I am at the moment 1?
When I could run with 3 CPU's cores being used?
Processor is a Core 2 Duo which gives x4 Cores?

a core 2 duo only has 2 cores. you can add or change the number of core by going on add slot and selecting cpu. then you can manually add cores by just typing the number of cores in or -1 will set it automatically.

Sorry, my mistake CPU is in fact an Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 @ 2.85 GHz

ok. in that case you are right it does have 4 cores !

So how do i get FAH to see 3 cores as currently only seeing 1?

Jumper118 · 19 Mar 2017 at 13:55

like i said, you need need to edit the cpu slot and set it to 3 instead of 1 or -1.

Also bear in mind, if you plan to use GPU folding, each GPU will require a CPU core.

FAH Control should auto detect the available cores so you should not need to set core count manually afak. Are you folding with GPU's too?

I'd also not bother folding on the Core 2 Quad, it will probably only net you a couple of thousand PPD at best, not worth it vs. the power it will consume. Best to focus on GPU folding. Generally CPU folding isn't worth it for F@H in general, even if you are running a 5GHz i7 Extreme. There are however other folding projects which are better suited to CPU's.
