New (rebuilt) computer question

edited July 2003 in Folding@Home
I just finished rebuilding my parent's computer. It's now got a 1700+ TBred (B) :-) and an A7N8X-D (rev1.04) I may overclock it a little as time goes by, but for now, I need to make sure it's working alright.

My question: Is there a way to force Gromacs without the "-advmethods" switch.

IE is there a way to add it to the Client.cfg file? I'm running it as a service, without fire daemon, and the method I'm using has to point to an EXE file. I tried a BAT file and couldn't get it to work.

Also, on the disable highly optimised assembly code, I should choose no with their system, right?


TIA

PS: My computer, The same as before, but with a Rev 2 A7N8X-D (and a better O/C) should be up by the end of the week.

    -advmethods will make gromacs a preference ...there is no way to force gromacs.
    I have the switch installed in my registry.
    I'm not sure what you're saying ...is you client working as a service or not?
    what method did you use?

    I'm using that ^

    It's running fine, I just want to enable the Gromac preference but couldn't figure out how to make it work with the above method.

    check your registry at

    sample:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Services\F@H1(or whatever folder you have specified)\parameters]
    "AppParameters=-service -local -advmethods -forceasm"

    this is where some of my switches are set.

    Thanks Simon, that worked. I added the parameters, deleted the work and core files and restarted, now its crunching with Core78 (it had been using 65)

    You should have left it finish the WU it was on. Restart the service and it should get a gro next time.

    I was more concerned that it was working, than getting credit for a unit (I didn't even see how many points) that was less than a third done.

    I'm trying to get baseline temps for my parents rig so I can start nudging it a bit.

    ok let me investigate something a little further ...I have more settings in the registry than what I posted earlier in more places like currentcontrolset and somewhere else let me check.

    edit/ ok here goes

    example only ...use your current paths or it won't work.

    1.) under ControlSet001
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ControlSet001\Services\F@H1\Enum]
    "0=Root\LEGACY_F@H1\0000"
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ControlSet001\Services\F@H1\Enum]
    "Count=0x00000001 (1)"
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ControlSet001\Services\F@H1\Enum]
    "NextInstance=0x00000001 (1)"

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ControlSet001\Services\F@H1\parameters]
    "AppDirectory=d:\f@h\f@h1"
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ControlSet001\Services\F@H1\parameters]
    "Application=d:\f@h\f@h1\FAH3Console.exe"
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ControlSet001\Services\F@H1\parameters]
    "AppParameters=-service -local -advmethods -forceasm"

    2.) same under ControlSet003
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ControlSet003\Services\F@H1\Enum]
    "0=Root\LEGACY_F@H1\0000"
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ControlSet003\Services\F@H1\Enum]
    "Count=0x00000001 (1)"
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ControlSet003\Services\F@H1\Enum]
    "NextInstance=0x00000001 (1)"

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ControlSet003\Services\F@H1\parameters]
    "AppDirectory=d:\f@h\f@h1"
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ControlSet003\Services\F@H1\parameters]
    "Application=d:\f@h\f@h1\FAH3Console.exe"
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ControlSet003\Services\F@H1\parameters]
    "AppParameters=-service -local -advmethods -forceasm"

    3.) same under CurrentControlSet
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\F@H1\Enum]
    "0=Root\LEGACY_F@H1\0000"
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\F@H1\Enum]
    "Count=0x00000001 (1)"
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\F@H1\Enum]
    "NextInstance=0x00000001 (1)"

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\F@H1\parameters]
    "AppDirectory=d:\f@h\f@h1"
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\F@H1\parameters]
    "Application=d:\f@h\f@h1\FAH3Console.exe"
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\F@H1\parameters]
    "AppParameters=-service -local -advmethods -forceasm"

    hope this helps ...

    there is also a Security setting but the binary data is just too long to post. :fold:
