bigadv any advantage?

any day now the pande group will change the bigadv core # requirement and deadlines to make bigadv folding on <16 core machines impossible. however, until they do so, a 4.4 ghz 2600k could see as much as a 30% improvement in ppd using bigadv. (assuming all 8 cores are used for smp)

i don't know. i use 6.34 console exclusively. any v7 gpu client users out there?
Yes it's a doddle to add GPU on the V7 client.
In expert mode - Configure -> Expert
Extra client options -> Add
Name = gpu
Value = true
I am guessing this may already be done as the default install is to enable both CPU+GPU anyway.
Then go to slots and then add in what you need....
Sounds like you are already sorted though.

Thanks.
One gpu is pegged at 97c all the time.
Thats pretty hot.
Should I keep that one idle?
Is 97c to hot for a 560Ti gpu?
SMP client says 35000 a day I doubt it.

i would either increase the fan speed or drop the gpu usage on the one at 97c... i get nervous watching my cards go past 80c.
the 35k ppd from the smp client definitely sounds suspect, unless it's working on an 8xxx series project.

you might want to drop gpu utilization on the hot gpu. and a 7014 at 1:53 tpf is indeed 36k ppd.

1. 2x nvidia gpus
2. insane overclock 4500 mhz
3. ???? I play it Mozart
4. profit!
Look at Ryokos #s those are nuts.
Hotwired has more cores Nice.

2x nvidia gpus = 11,000 - 14,000 each I have one core backed off due to heat.
cpu = 30,000 - 40,000
thats very impressive for an overclock.
One of my AMD 5870 is the original design and that will get a fair bit warmer than the other which is the single big fan in the middle. That remains a lot cooler than the original design. I have started to back off that GPU although I am even debating dropping it entirely going to smp6 (or maybe 7) and ramping up the CPU... Will see how temps go. My room is incredibly warm due to the hot water pipes and tank being close so all year its like a sauna.
