Somethings not right...

I started folding when I first bought this X6. I could run prime 24 hours at 4Ghz but F@H would crash after a few hours. So I stopped folding for a while trying to get it stable at 4Ghz. That did not happen so I have just lowered it to 3.8 and it has been folding for a while now and stable. So... here is the problem.

It has been a month or so since I have ran F@H. When I started it back up HFM had an update, which I applied. I started up F@H and it has been running for a while now, but really slow. All 6 of my cores are maxed out, but it is just crawling along. If someone could look at the screen below and give me some info on how to get this corrected , my PC will be back to folding 24/7 and I will thank you very much. =)

 
ya your time per frame times kinda high. I don't know if this is what AMD processors get, but it's higher then the TPF I get on bigadv with an i7. Someone who run's amd hardware could probably tell you if it's right.
 
For the PPD value in HFM I am getting 700-800. Before I was getting over 10,000. It seems like I could finish 3 units in the time it is taking to finish this one. Will I lose the unit it is working on if I uninstall F@H and reinstall it from scratch?
 
What WU are you crunching right now? If it's a 2684 -bigadv, I could see higher frame times like that.

EDIT - I see it now, a 6058 (R0, C13, G148). I've not paid much attention to that particular unit, but on a hex that seems a bit high in frame times. Nothing else running in the background that would affect it?

do amd 6 cores get big adv now? i thought you needed 8 to be assigned one.

Think you're right there....I don't fold on any AMD hardware these days, so its hard to say on the frame times. the 1055T is the entry level hex for them, right?

The only info I could find on the particular project he's running is here, and according to the stanford page on that unit it's new, and they haven't posted any details about it.

EDIT: Also found this info, running on a dual core OSX box. Took him about 46 hours to complete it on that setup:

Project : 6058
Trajectory : Run 0, Clone 138, Generation 75
Points : 481.00 (247.23 points/day)
Bonus Points : 1224.08 (26.215 points/hour)
Bonus Factor : 2.54 (Kfactor: 2.10)
Status : finished
Speed : 3.08 times minimum required speed
Completed : Mon Nov 1 18:47:13 2010 (1d21h41m36s)

6058 is not new, it's been around for quite awhile, it was released to the public on April 19th. They just haven't gotten around to writing a project description for it yet. It's not a bigadv unit and his chip can't run bigadv without trickery so let's drop that discussion now.

Sounds like something is going on in the background causing the WU to slow down. You should be seeing a lot better frame times.
 
On 6057, a 1090T at 4.0 pulls 3:23 average TPF, i'm assuming its a related unit, so his times are way the hell off.
 
From my Q6600@3.2ghz

Min. Time / Frame : 00:05:22 - 7,504.4 PPD
Avg. Time / Frame : 00:05:23 - 7,469.6 PPD


I would have to agree something isn't right. Is something else eating up CPU usage?
 
You are running at full clocks aren't you - the cpu hasn't down clocked for some reason has it? Run CPu-z and post back what clock speeds its reporting

You didn't look at his screenshot did you? :p His clocks are fine.
 
I've seen WUs get fouled up this way before. Hopefully the next one will run better
 
It is almost done. I am going to wait and see if the next unit is any faster.. if not I am just going to restart at step one,

its random. its what ever the servers decide to give you.

your frame times are definitely off. you should be in the 4 minute TPF range. are you running any GPU clients? though this isnt uncommon with the 6058 WU's. ive had a couple that were completely fuxored and had double the TPF. but just in case check and see whats running the background.
 
Well I guess it was just the unit. This new unit is running much faster and no problems. Hopefully this will be good to go 24/7. Thanks for the help =)

 
dam what unit is that ?!!?? i want my 1090T to get that D at 4.0 on a regular basis :D
 
nice, havent had one of those since i went to SMP only on my 1090T
