Yeah, just looked at the last update time and it was before my WU finished.

Your stats are showing up.

Hmmm, I don't like the number 224 much . Should be able to run it most of the day today though.

 

[yzmxer608]

I have my 5870 overclocked to 900 core and 1232 memory. The current WU is showing 4126 PPD. Do you guys think it would be worth it to flash my 5870 BIOS to Asus so I don't have the 900Mhz block? Also, would it be worth it to use Notfred to fold on my CPU? I'm just not sure about that since my PC isn't on 24/7.

Smps have 3 or 4 day time limits.

Usually a decent cpu will do one in about a day straight. So, depending on your up time, you may or may not make it.

 

[yzmxer608]

I think I'll just stick with my GPU now, hope better optimization is put in place for the 5000 series soon.

Right now the client is running but says "Core is not running now". Is a problem on my end or is something going on with the F&H base?

Oh yeah, found this, might be helpful to someone to compare ppd. F@H Stats

^ new one to me, is there progress in the log?

So it can't connect to the server?

 

[patonb]

Correct

You can try an stop it, then restart it t see if it will get a new assignment server, that sometimes works.

But its not your end.

 

[yzmxer608]

I've restarted it several times now (even rebooted) and it hasn't gone through . Good to know it's not a problem with my setup though.

Offtopic question: Why does your sig image show the WU's you've completed, but mine shows "Chande 7d:"? I don't even know what 7d means haha.

Edit: Left it on for a bit and it started running normally .
