I've been folding on various computers for a while, but I've decided to switch loyalties to the Overclockers team. I've just switched all my home clients over and I'll switch over my work one when I'm in tomorrow. Heres what I'm folding with:

PC1:
2 standard clients on QX6800
2 GPU clients on 8800GTX's

PC2:
3 standard clients on Q6600
1 GPU client on 8800GTS

PC3:
2 standard clients on E6550

PS3 on 24x7 as well.

The GPU's won't update from the servers atm, but that looks like its a problem on their end. Once this is all up and running I'll be averaging a good few thousand PPD.
 
Welcome to team 10 :D That lot must generate some serious PPD, particularly the GPU clients. Looking forward to seeing the effect on the stats! (My GPU client isn't downloading properly at the moment either.)
 
All my GPU clients have just updated themselves so looks like the servers come back alive (one of them wouldn't download so I rebooted the client and its fine).

From what FahMon is telling me, I'll be getting around 11000 PPD excluding the PS3 and work computer. I need it to be high so I can catch up with everyone else!
 
Welcome to the fold :) 11k is good, but you could more by switching to 2 Windows SMP clients on the first two PCs and one on the third :)

If you need a hand just let us know.

With regards to the GPU servers, they were down today, I think it was part of the maintenance. Glad you're having the same thing Mattus, since I'm racing you :p
 
Doo it, we need the points :D

Off-topic, but Yeggstry... what temp does the TRUE keep your Q6600 at? Which fan do you have on it? This heatwave has pushed my load temp the wrong side of 70c, which I'm not too pleased about - Freezer 7 may have to go!

The F7 Pro is okay as an upgrade from the standard cooler but to be honest it doesn't even keep my e6300 (albeit @ 2.5Ghz) that cool. The recent heat has had my temps pushing over 60C on my Q6600 with a Thermalright 90 with 90mm fan but they usually stay around or below 50C.

Anyway on topic - what's with all the new users? It's great!
 
I was about to ask about changing over the SMP clients, because I wasn't sure which client I should be downloading. On the download page there's a v6 advanced client or a v5 SMP client, which one is it ?

Just checked again and I'm getting about 14k out of my home computers plus on top of that my PS3 and work computer to add to the mix. Might even get it going on my laptop which doesn't do much.

Not sure why I decided to switch teams, just thought I haven't been folding seriously so a fresh aggressive start was in order :D

Hmmm, just trying to switch over my clients now to the SMP version but it gets stuck at Loaded queue successfully.

Any ideas ?
 
Oh its working now. Looks like it just had to download a lot of stuff for some reason.

I take it these units are meant to be a lot bigger and take longer to process ?
 
Oh cool. Everything is switched over to the SMP clients now (well apart from the GPU clients, which I assume theres no performance client for ?), so lets see what type of score I'll be getting now.
 
The nVidia GPU client is the highest-performance client there is :)

The quads should give 2000-3000ppd each on SMP, depending on overclock, work units and OS.
 
The quads aren't overclocked at all and they have only been running for a little bit, but it looks like hey might be around the 800ppd mark per SMP client on my main machine. Can't be 100% sure but this could be down to the GPU clients eating about 50% of the CPU time as well.

I'll leave it all running overnight to see what happens, but I can't help but think its going slower than it should be. One of the SMP installs has been running for over an hour and hasn't even done 1% yet :/

also look for "fahsmp affinity changer" - this should give you a smp boost as well

Thanks for that. Have installed it on all 3 of my computers so I'll see what they give out now.

Run out of room for more computers at home now, so I'll have to hijack some more PC's for my folding farm :)
