New PC

[iFire]

Asus K55VM with i7-3610QM and nVidia 630M (Actually a 540 :0). How to get most points? Running one CPU client and one GPU client?

Thanks.

Probably, but there's a few things. First, make sure the temps are good, and make sure that folding on the GPU isn't throttling the CPU, because that may mean it would decrease your overall PPD.

How to find out about the GPU thingy? I'll download HWmonitor for temps.

DON'T OVERCLOCK! My dad is dumb enough to.

37C on i7, and 32 on the GPU

(55 max now (on cpu), and 38 max on the GPU)

Well, I choosed SMP & GPU mode :3 I'll change it if I need to :3

Make a SMP slot and a GPU slot in the v7 client and you should be fine.

Basically, to elaborate on my earlier point. (I had a midterm to run off to) Most laptops have the same cooling system for the CPU and GPU, and sometimes that cooling system isn't enough to cool both when they're at full load like they will be during folding. When that happens, usually the CPU will lower its clock speed until it can keep itself cool enough. The problem is that sometimes, it lowers itself so much that you would be better off turning off the GPU and letting the CPU fold a bit faster.

This probably isn't the case, but its still something to check out, because it can lower your PPD.

My PPD is 2.

Let us know how you get on!

GPU, SMP, PPD, CPU, v7client, i7-3610QM, Asus K55VM, nVidia 630M???????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHY doesn't Jiggmin teach us these things...
*confused*** LOL

[Dealth]

you kids with you discrete graphics and quad core multi gigahertz processors... Ill stick woth my 10ppd

I don't know where I'd be in F@H without you, Nick.

Congratz I hope I also get a new one soon.
You can also blog it
