    FAH new WU? and it's a monster

    https://forum.foldingathome.org/viewtopic.php?t=43534 On Windows you must leave 2 CPU threads free for HIP compute. Half of the CPU threads free would be optimal, ideally no CPU folding should be happening if you want full PPD benefits from HIP on Windows.

    The new "died in the line of duty" thread

    My fastest Dell box (Inspiron 3880, i5-10400, 12gb ram) died last night. Looks to be either the power supply or motherboard. No green light. No flashing power button. Pulled the memory, drives and replaced the CMOS battery. It still won't fire up.

    muziqaz posted on the FAH support forum the "sweet spot" is 8 cores/16 threads. Power optimization and number of cores CPU speed is important since the bonus formula goes up exponentially with increasing speed. 1922x projects - slow performance

    F@H project 18490 points suck

    I get 105-110K PPD on CPU projects 18240, 16959, 16969 and 18490 running 6 physical cores on a i5-10400 Dell box. I can't speak to the 124xx projects. I don't get them with 6 cores enabled. I suspect 18490 and 16969 don't load all of your cores. I get 20% lower PPD on the 1922x projects. I...
