I'm back !

Hi,

I've just joined the climate prediction OcUK team and am in the Seti team - I haven't ran BOINC for quite a while because I didn't like my CPU running at 100% while I was away as it used to get to 65 (67 is max recommended for my CPU).

But now I have a new heatsink (Ninja Scythe Plus mmmmm ) which is nice and cool (32 idle and 45-50 load - excellent for a prescott).

I'm not sure if I'll be running climate prediction, I'll probably run folding and seti as you guys seem more in to folding.

One's definitely going to be seti though as I already have an account with quite a few points on it.

Hmmm, just got folding but don't like the fact it's not in BOINC. Is there a BOINC version of it?

--Edit--

Just found the folding version of it, but get access denied on the homepage

 

[Craig321]

I did fine a link to the BOINC version but the website gives me access denied

 

[Craig321]

I'll run F@H if there's some way I can make it so it runs when my PC is idle unless I tell it to run all the time. Couldn't find anywhere in the options to do that

 

[Craig321]

OK, thanks guys. Will look more at the options and, if you say it doesn't effect performance, I'll run it in the background

Will it run alright along side BOINC? Or should I give them each 50% resources rather?

Craig.

I'm not sure if the two will work together or not - FAH has two priority settings, idle and low
Idle is the lowest possible, Low is what Seti classic used to run at by default - it will depend what the particular boinc application runs at but at least you have two options with FAH

Otherwise you could set FAH higher and limit it to 50%, though if Boinc runs out of work FAH will not be able to take the remaining 50% of spare

You'll have to try it out and see how you get on - at least there's plenty of options

Maybe if I set them both to take 50% resources & low priority then it'd work fine?

 

[Craig321]

if you can get folding and Boinc to run at the same priority then you can set both to 100% and they will share 50% each - then if either runs out of work the other will take the full 100% until more work is available

that would be the best solution - it just depends what priority Boinc runs at really

Good idea.
I think BOINC runs at low so I'll make folding run at low as well

Hmmm, but the only other thing is that BOINC runs 2 SETI projects at a time each taking 50% each, if I ran folding as well on the same priority would the 2 seti projects and the folding project take a third each?

THanks,
Craig.
