airman Posted January 16, 2005 Posted January 16, 2005 I'm getting tired of all these low-pointed gromacs. i recently have been overtaken by bdylyzsouless. i decided to look at his stats... http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/use...php?s=&u=101531 and LOOK AT ALL THOSE 600 POINTERS! he's got 3 machines folding atm...and he's pumpin those wus out like crazy! but then look at my stats... http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/use....php?s=&u=37117 the biggest wu i've gotten this week was 130 points. i turned that in this morning. i'm getting tired of all this. is there a flag or something that i can add to help get me some tinkers? i haven't had a tinker in months.

Version 5.02 has an option for big work units and that's what you need to set to get the 600 pointers. Airman, I was in the same boat as you. For about a month there I was fat, dumb and happy feasting off noting but Tinkers - I worked my average up over 1600 pts/day and was finally in the red- then one day all the Tinkers went away. Boom- just like that. My average dropped to around 800 pts/day with all the low point Gromacs. Then slowly, I started getting the 600 pointers. Seems like once you get one, you almost always get another, especially if your performance factor is over .95. So just hang in there and make sure you're running version 5.02 of the client and that you specified big work units in your config file.

gravy Posted January 16, 2005 Posted January 16, 2005 okay, got a question, i too have noticed that my rig running the 5.X console as a service is always loaded with 600 point gromacs, but my main HT rig still has the v4 services running how do i uninstall, or delete what i have so i can re-install/add as a service the 5.X services?

bdylyzsouless Posted January 16, 2005 Posted January 16, 2005 go to control panel>administrative tools>services... look for the folding @ home service and right click. select properties. then select disable. then delete the folding at home files and download the new version Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
