Anyone having any luck running winafc on an i7?
I can't seem to get it to detect the CPU correctly.
It worked maybe twice and now it doesnt do anything but throw up a long list of red text in the console.
 
I have it running on mine and never have problems with it. I do have a delay on when it starts though. I have a 90 second delay from after program startup. There is a lot of CPU usage at startup and that may cause WinAFC to not be able to read the CPU heuristics correctly. I have a 90 second delay on all my boxes.
 
i'll have to give that a try when i get home then.

post your config

Mine runs flawlessly
I also use a 90 sec delay.
Then a 180 sec delay on my VM's starting( I have these set as scheduled task and start each one 25 seconds apart)
 
This is what I want to use and what should work

Code: 
*\vmware-vmx.exe := PAIR0+PAIR1+PAIR2+PAIR3 [assign=2,priority=idle]
*\FahCore_*.exe := PAIR0+PAIR1+PAIR2+PAIR3 [priority=high]

Since the heuristic fails I'm stuck using this.
I don't know if it works the same but I've seen some odd CPU usage using this one.

Code: 
*\vmware-vmx.exe := CPU0+CPU1+CPU2+CPU3+CPU4+CPU5+CPU6+CPU7 [assign=2,priority=Idle]
*\FahCore_*.exe := CPU0+CPU1+CPU2+CPU3+CPU4+CPU5+CPU6+CPU7 [priority=High]


The WinAFC log shows this when the heruistic fails to detect the CPU

Once in a blue moon it works and I get this :)

Doozer, did you get this up and running on the i7?

Yeah, I got it running by turning of the cpu detection and using

*\vmware-vmx.exe := CPU0+CPU1+CPU2+CPU3+CPU4+CPU5+CPU6+CPU7 [assign=2,priority=Idle]
*\FahCore_*.exe := CPU0+CPU1+CPU2+CPU3+CPU4+CPU5+CPU6+CPU7 [priority=High]

I'm trying to decide what HSF fan I should get now so that I can overclock a little.
 
You can get decent prices on TRUEs now so I dont see any reason to get anything else.
 
Instead of using CPUx+CPUx or PAIRx, you can just use ALL to indicate all cores.

Well, the Xigmatek Dark Knight can be found for around $40 and includes a fan, so for lighter overclocking it would be a better choice than the TRUE. Realistically, you could probably go up to 3.8-4GHz with the Dark Knight while maintaining reasonable temperatures.
 
Just messing around with it a little got me up to 4.2 but I didnt do much more than check my email and reboot to take it back down to stock speeds. I didn't want to push anything since I'm on stock cooling still. :)
