correct set up?

[imposter]

one folder labeled folding 1 with FAH504-Console runing.
another one labeled folding 2 with FAH504-Console runing.
and one instance of folding winFAH-GPU-beta4.

Am i fully abusing my system correctly?? !!



check my sig for c2d system specs.

thanks imp

Fold on :attn: :attn:

Here's the two setups I would choose in order of preference / max ppd.

1- WinSMP- just run one SMP instance and be done, no GPU. SMP will consistently push higher ppd without the need for the high power draw and heat that comes with running a GPU.

2- one 504Console & one GPU instance. For the GPU to really get work done, it needs a dedicated cpu core. So by running 2x504Console + GPU you're limiting (slowing down) what either the 504Console or the GPU could do if the other weren't in the way.

it depends on the wu's that you get ... smp may not outperform if you get get a cache dependent wu on your 6300 vs a good producing standare core wu + gpu.

The problem in picking the best is that the smp wu mix seems to be favouring the cache heavy ones atm and the standard wu mix has varied a lot. I am not aware of what the current standard core mix is like since i only have a couple of part time instances.

I suspect over time smp will do as well or better, and definitely consume less power and generate less heat.

On straight bigpackets (no advmethods), the 500pt Ribos seem quite plentiful. I think with a lot of the heavy Folders adopting SMP with their high end rigs makes it a lot easier to land nice uni-proc bigpackets for higher end, non-SMP capable machines.

Case in point, I don't think my TBred-B has been anything but a Ribo in weeks. :beer:

well winsmp it is. I rather not cook myself. Pure heat comes out my graphics card and leaving it idle = w00t.

is there anyway i can move my current WU to winsmp? im 25% done with it and i don't want to waste that.

let it finish with -oneunit flag before starting smp or move it to another box if you can.

@ OP : and if you want help getting that chip into the 3.2 range just ask should be pretty easy =) . The faster that c2d is going the more PPD im getting 2100ppd right now on my rig .

as console says, without your gpu folding, your rig's heat should be better and you should be able to run a higher oc since it looks like you have all the cooling goodies on it.

I have a 6320 folding smp at 3.15 and your memory should get there.
