I recently moved my i7 system to Windows 7 and let the GF at it to see her initial impressions of the OS and what she has issues with to help give me an understanding of what many end users will have a problems with. When I did this F@H stopped working and haven't really troubleshot it yet so I'll be dropping significantly in F@H WU's since that system was my bread and butter machine. Wink

Just a FYI, she's actually enjoying 7 like most people seem to be, however did almost immediately notice that Windows Movie Maker is no longer found in Windows 7. Which is amazing Microsoft decided to take that out.

I'm taking a hiatus as well.  Wasn't liking the temps I was getting.  Bought a Scythe Mugen 2 heatsink, but am struggling with the installation.  Idles at 55C now instead of 50  Undecided and I see 100C under load, tsk tsk.  Once I figure this out, I'll start the fold once more.  Didn't crack Top 5  Cry

This is entirely unacceptable, you know.   Grin

Thanks for informing us -- I'd noticed a drop in some of the statistics, and wondered about it.

Ugarte, is that a heat sink, or part of the hadron collider?   Shocked

The rest of us will keep plugging along...   Wink

my quad core idles around 60... but never goes about 65.

I'm using the stock heatsink.

because of my new build my laptop has been running F&H 24/7 for the last few weeks... yet to install the SMP client on this machine.

I'm back in the folding business starting.... now.

Idling at 35, gaming peaks at 65, Folding with 2 SMP clients and 1 GPU client at 70.  Once more unto the breach, dear friends.

Those are the temperatures of my CPU (in celsius) when my computer is idling (doing nothing), playing a game, or using F@H.

If you want to check your own computer's temperatures, you can download and install RealTemp
http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Info/Real-Temp.shtml
In my case, it shows the graphics card temperature, and 4 more temperatures because I'm using a quad-core processor.  Yours may differ.

I have the same cpu cooler.  But you said you are running 2 smp clients on one computer? Will that increase the amount of points I am getting?

I've heard some mixed answers to that.  The smp client is supposed to put all the cores to work, but when I use one smp client, it shows my cpu usage at %50.  The explanations to this went over my head, the jist of it was that the windows clients are inefficient, works better on linux.  Running a second smp client takes my cpu usage up to %100, but I don't know if the performance suffers or not, haven't taken note of the differences yet.  Maybe I'll do a little comparison once I get them up and running.  Like I said in the other forum post, work servers seem to be on the fritz now.  Both of my smp clients lost connection, GPU is still going strong, though.
