Hi Everyone,
I just started folding again since the weather is cooling down and wanted to get my CPU and GPU going for your big push to pass EVGA.
I was looking for the easiest way to get things set up and I found mention of FAH GPU Tracker V2 so I downloaded it and set things up. Upon starting both clients, I noticed that my GPU was pegged at 99-100%, but my CPU wouldn't budge over 50%.
Here are my settings:

What it looks like when everything is running:

My SMP FAHlog:
I cant seem to figure out why it wont use 100% of my CPU. I can load it to 100% using prime or any other stress test.
I've tried updating FAH Clients from the FAH GPU Tracker's Setup menu, manually replacing the FAH.exe with the most recent one, changing the SMP CPU settings in configuration to "Use specified number of CPU cores" and set it to 8, and running just the SMP client without the GPU client in case they weren't playing nice together.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks.
