My System Specs

Default PPD down a little... any ideas?
I'm running 4 VMWare clients right now @ 3.486GHz...
Normally I get around 2150ppd to 2200ppd per client, but today I'm getting less.



Any ideas what's going on?
I'm not doing anything different.
I know it's not much of a loss, but it makes me curious.

It's normal. ppd can vary from one WU to the other.

Ok, thanks.
Figured it was something like that, but really this is the longest I've run my pc under such load.
Part of me was wondering if my CPU was being damaged.
Eventully I'll stop worring about it so much...

No worries. A CPU is made to run at 100%. Keep an eye on temps, and that's it.

Oh i'm in the same boat, i'm worried running mine at full load 24/7 even at the safer temps at stock is going to damage mine as well, paranoid ftl

I'm getting less paranoid, but sometimes I worry.
It's fun and all... and I'm happy to contribute to a good cause...
I need this computer for other things too though, and would hate to hurt it too much.

it looks like all the teams are getting less PPD . And my temp seem to be down a bit , i was wondering in order to get the temps down they changed something in the WUs . maybe its taking longer to do each WU but with the same credit would get less PPD. As for your CPU being damaged,just watch your temps, you will probley upgrade before anything bad happens and still have this as a folding rig

Most of the time I don't worry about it.
It's just when something changes I can get a little paranoid.
Really, my temps are fine... voltages are fine... I shouldn't worry... but sometimes I do.

Can you check to see on what 'priority' your VMware and GPU processes in task manager are running? VMware should be at 'low' and your GPU should be at 'normal'..... That makes a difference too I find....

Ps. Are you folding at 3.8GHz as well?

Right now I'm folding @ 3.486GHz... Going to up it back to 3.8 soon though.
Vmware clients set to 'normal'... GPU set to 'above normal'.
I'll try changing them and see what happens.
