Just joined, only with a laptop for now, since my CPU cooler is in RMA-limbo for my main rig.

I'm one of the few people I know that tend to repair electronics with a smith's hammer on a regular basis.

PPD seems to vary based on the project you are working on.

Hi every one. First post for me. I think. To my question then.

Need help to tune system for more PPD. I'm a noob at overclocking so help needed.

Hardware is as follows: MB Gigabyte 990fxa ud3 rev 1.2, cpu amd 8320, ram 2*4GB KIngston 1866 pnp, cooler corsair h100i and last gpu is a gigabyte gtx 670 4GB windforce  ooh and a corsair ax850 psu.

 

Folding online 24/7 except when im gaming that is.

 Edit: I do know how to overclock i just noob at what voltages do what and how and what i can do to finetune folding client.

FD Define R4, Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3, FX 8320, 2*4 GB Kingston HyperX 1866Mhz pnp, Gigabyte GTX670 4GB, Kingston HyperX 3K 120GB SSD bootdrive,  Corsair Force3 120GB SSD gamedrive, Samsung 840 Evo 120GB SSD for Steam.

I got a Core_17 protein to fold but my client wont start because it says this.

 

20:31:09:WU00:FS00:0x17:Temperature control disabled. Requirements: single Nvidia GPU, tmax must be < 110 and twait >= 900

 

Are there flags that I should put to change the tmax and the twait or is there a setting somewhere else I need to change? Possibly a core option?

 

EDIT: It seems to have just started on its own. I guess this doesn't apply to me anymore. But I would still like to know how to add core options for future reference. Thanks!

Overclocking won't get you big PPD increases. First off, you pretty much cannot OC a GPU - Folding is VERY flaky around that and will most times fail. OC'ing a CPU will typically give you a few more PPD, but in the end, not a "huge" boost. 

 

For Overclocking, Linus has a few videos on how to OC SB, IB and haswell chips - go on youtube channel and search. For a bit more hardcore voltage related OC;ing TTL has a couple of in-depth videos as well. Check his youtube channel.

Many WU's and projects can take a while before any "work" is registered, either by the estimated PPD showing or work completed. 

 

As for options, with Core_17 being a general WU now, you really don't need any options on the GPU or SMP slots. There are a few you can do to tweak how the FAH clients works, but that is for more advance usage and such.
