has any one else had this prob with w/u's

hi
had this error in my log earlier was hoping to make the top 1000 in this team in my first week but this unit was taking ages to complete
any ideas why this happened is it something i've done as i'm new to folding

Very typical of a system that is OC'd too far. What are your rig specs? Turn down the OC a bit and that should cure it. If you look at the log you posted, it says:

"If you often see other project units terminating early like this

such as high temperature, overclocking, etc.)."

Yes, either back down the O/C, or up the voltage.

UP the voltage first, the DOWN the OC if that doesn't work. You still got the % of points compared to how far you had finished.

You get points for incomplete WU's? Are you sure about that?

thanks for the tips

thanks

i just had to check what my settings are as it been months since i played at overclocking

abit nf7 xp2100 @2040 (mbm says2058) @1.65v (170fsb x 12)
twinmoss pc3200 @340 stock settings
board temp 25 c, cpu temp 47 c Cpu is Always 46-49 c fan speed changes to keep it constant (thermaltake volcano 9)
i have got 70% of my homemade water block complete (so one day )

what would be a safe core voltage for 24/7 running

thanks

If it's a lost WU from a crash or hard lock, you don't get any points, if you have stability issues and get an Early End Unit and it says that it is returning the work you have done, then you do get the % of the points that was completed.
