*** F@H Tech Assistance Thread ***

[[Ion]]

I just installed the new Nvidia drivers last night and I seem to be getting terrible PPD. F@Hmon reports just under 700PPD on a 472pt work unit (project 5906). Is this normal? This is on an overclocked 9600GSO (96 shader model).

My 9600GT (worse card with only 64 shaders) got about 2800, and I get about 4800 currently with the 8800GT, so something is wrong. I can zip-and-upload my F@H folder here (console client) if you want, it works pretty well for me

i don't think that would be the problem. I think it has something to do with his drivers. He said he installed new drivers...
Try going back to the old ones or the 191's those have been the best for me

Now, how in the hell do I hide those damn f@h icons in my task bar? lol

So, anyone with any ideas on this?

 

[hat]

I reinstalled video drivers and F@H and it seems to be back to normal. Maybe I got a terrible work unit, who knows

In the menu bar:
Fahom/Preferences, uncheck "Enable system tray icon", click "OK"

Right-click on the task bar, select properties, hit "hide inactive icons", hit customize, select the F@H icons and select 'always hide'

That hides/unhides fahmon. I want to remove f@h itself from the task bar.

Can't do it. You'd have to reprogram the app. And my bad for not carefully reading your question.

Bah. That sucks. I was hoping there was some sort of switch that would hide the windows.

Read my post, that's what I did when I was running 2 GPU clients on the 9600GSOs and the 4 single-core clients on the Q6600 to get all of the icons out of the tray. It works, at least in XP in Vista, it should work in 7 as well

EDIT: I thought you were talking about the icons in the system tray, if you are talking about the windows in the task bar, download TrayIt! (google it), add a link to it in the startup folder, and then hold down "shift" and minimize the window, and it goes to the tray. You can then do what I said above

 

[Wile E]

Right-click on the task bar, select properties, hit "hide inactive icons", hit customize, select the F@H icons and select 'always hide'

There is no option to hide inactive icons in the task bar. That only works for the notification area.

EDIT: Does Tray It work in 7?

Interesting program. The web-site has a new beta, from 2008, it doesn't mention Vista, let alone Windows 7.

still could give it a try. If it doesn't work try compatibility mode

It works in XP, Vista, and 7. I'm using it currently on my XP laptop and my desktop with 7 Professional. Works in x32 and x64 versions of Windows

Thank you so fricken much. That was driving me crazy. lol.

If you mess around with the settings a bit you can set it to auto-minimize-to-tray certain windows, I did this when I was running the F@H console client on my mom's computer, because anything that was open she would close

Yeah, already figured out how to wild card it. lol.

And I have that same problem with my kids on their computer. This will be going on there as well.

 

[p_o_s_pc]

thanks Ion that program helped me out. I hated seeing them always showing down there

I think I've almost got the kinks worked out. Having said that I'll likely BSOD again. One thing is for certain, this has highlighted how much I suck at overclocking. Hopefully upping the Vcore and QPI/vtt will be all it takes to solve my issues.

 

[mstenholm]

That rig better be stabile. It would be a shame to lose the 25000 plus 25000 in bonus 68 hour in the run with 3 % point left. I was under the impression the that to components that you have picked out for the task was top notch (the very same as on my wish list) so maybe you have to lower the bar and go for just one GTX 260. Good luck.

 

[El Fiendo]

Alot of these components are top notch, and I have no doubt I'll find a stopping off point. I'm currently 20 minutes into a Prime 95 run on these latest settings, and I was almost 2 hours stable prior this before it BSODed. I think its all down to bumping a few voltages here and there. I'm not sure if it would be best to put it up my voltages question here or in its own thread in the Overclocking section.

It's currently sitting at 11MHz under 4.0 Ghz however.

I'm looking to get the 9300 folding again, despite the meager 800ppd it brings. I don't have a second monitor, or dummy plugs. If someone could link me a guide to run 2 GPUs in Windows 7 not in SLI without monitors/dummy plugs required, I would be greatly obliged.

 

[DanishDevil]

I said a while back that I would do a writeup of that. Basically, you have to add a string to each of the client's shortcuts. It's somewhere in this thread a bit further back. I've gotta run or I'd do a quick write-up for you.

Until something better can be provided, use this for the settings, and use this to get the Beta Core 11. I don't think you need to get the Beta Core 14, as its already been released as a stable version, but if you're experiencing issues you can try it with the beta.

Any issues you have, please post up.

Also, i7 is at 4.01 GHz. It's got 1 hour Prime95 stable and 1 hour OCCT Linpack no errors. She's currently folding away to weed out further instability. She runs at ~74 on the hottest core, but ~67 on the lowest. Gigabyte's F9 Bios (not the one I'm running) says it fixes the CPU reporting of temperatures, so I'm not sure if one of those is actually higher or lower than what it says.

Anyways, more time will tell. As it stands each VM looks to have gone from 3200 to 5200 PPD with just this OC.

I vaguely remember seeing someone ask this sort of question elsewhere, but can't remember the answer.

I have a P35 775 mb, with an open pci-e slot. Now I know this board won't run SLI, but would it be possible to put another nVidia card in the 2nd slot to fold? And yes, I know it's only 4x 1st gen
