How long take a WU

A very very rough guide.
A Gromac should run at about 1.5 points per hour per Ghz.
A Tinker should run at about 0.35 points per hour per Ghz.
So if you know how much the work unit is worth you can find out how long it should aprox take.
The answer will be anything from around 3 hours to over 2 days.

Luck.......:D
 
If you use Tigerbiten's information and the list of WU's and their points values from this page, you can get a rough idea about how long it might take to complete the particular WU you're working on. They do vary though, so this can only be an estimate.
 
mine seem to generally take between a 12 hours and a day. i have them folding on my secondary rig.. i dont want to stress my main rig.
 
Walleye, what kind of problems are you seeing when you stress your main rig? I run folding on over 50 machines (including all of our office workstations and production servers) and don't have any troubles. Maybe we can help you get your main box folding reliably.
 
Stressing the main rig is good. Just think of it as a way of finding the bottlenecks in your system and helping you decide what components need to be upgraded. Once you starting stressing and then upgrading your main rig you'll soon have enough spares for a 3rd rig, then a fourth etc etc.....

Unless your main rig is hooked up to your life support machine or something then there's really no reason to worry about stressing it with fah. I've never had a rig die as a *direct* result of the fah client. Now rigs will die from, lets call it aggressive overclocking, but that's not fahs fault.

That sounds like some kind of euphemism.

"I'm not in the mood anymore, honey. I just got done stressin' the main rig.

Well you know, some recent studies have shown that "stressing the main rig" can help fight certain types of cancer in men, if you know what I'm talking about.:eek: ;)
