[MorganO]

You're doing project that requires GPU and not CPU.

i completed it and it went onto the next project, is there a way to preference cpu over gpu?

and when i first started it i had a cpu+gpu doing a project?

Get it out with a fork

Put in the RAM slot

And then whip it some more

Have you tried going to Configure>>>> Slots >>>>. Remove >>> cpu 

 

after that add it back

 

Edit: Interesting that your CPU says 11. I see you have a 3930k which is 6c/12t? I dunno if that would cause issue instead of an even number like 6 or 12.

ill try now

ive readded it and set the cores to be used as 10?

i have a 6c/12t cpu did i do it correctly?

try 12 just to be safe since that's what should be available

It did that to me today. It said 5 days but after a few minutes it went back to regular.

 

Leave it and see.

 

It's no longer stuck on download though right?

It's working? Awesome

 

Leave what on? Folding?

yeah the folding

 

and its stopped working , my pc bluescreened, im just gonna let it do its own thing, it can fold using what ever it chooses

[DoctorZeus]

your 3930k at 4.6ghz might be the reason for bluescreen. That seems pretty high for that voltage

its not at 4.6 anymore its at 4.0 at 1.336v

at this point im going to leave it to do as it wishes and check it in the morning

if anything just disable folding on the CPU for now and let the gpu do the work. it's a good folder

it takes ages tho

also that said,does it affect the graphics card in an negative way?

You have probably figured this out by now,

but cpu and gpu projects are separate 

things. It doesn't choose one over the other.

They both have their own settings and wu's. 

 

Also, set the core count to 10, not 12. Leave

resources open for the gpu and everything 

else, your gpu will likely pull alot more carts

than the cpu, so don't prioritize it.

Removing, or just pausing the cpu slot doesn't 

do anything negative to the gpu folding, folding

on 12 out of 12 threads however will slow down

the gpu. 

 

If you keep bluescreening, remove the overclocks

and try without, if that doesn't work you need 

additional troubleshooting. Remember that folding

is very picky on gpu overclocks, make sure you 

aren't just dumping wu's, and actually complete

them. 

 

Also remember that any estimates early on in a wu

are not accurate, you need atleast a few percent 

progress to expect any decent estimates, TPF, PPD,

ETA so and so forth.
