2 FAH programs

When running 2 fah programs on id1 and 2 arent they supposed to be working on different cores? just curious, both of mine are running the same exact core in sync. This doesn't seem like it makes it run any faster, it's just doing the same work twice

Ok first thing you gotta have Hyper Threading if you plan on running 2 cores which im sure you have, Second thing is download the graphical version and run it, now download the console version and go thru the setup process, when it comes to advanced settings click yes and u will see change machine id from 1-8 put it on 2 and you should be ok.

I believe it works on both on identical units simultaneously...then sends the results for each, getting you two times the points for doing 1 unit.

I could be wrong, but I don't think so.

You'll see that you may have repeated the same unit alot. I have repeated p639 about 16 times! (but thats ok!)

If it is set up correctly, you will have two FAH processes running at the same time, each taking up x% of CPU power. The two installations will most likely by running on two different work units. Both installations just could happen to download the same work unit, but the progress on each would be different. Sometime this week, hopefully, I will mess around with it and get two different console installations running at once just to make sure I know how to set it up, then I will post a thread on how to do it.

Thx guys, now I find that the cores keep shutting down, this is just pissing me off, the graphical version doesn't even want to work right now.

I had the same exact problem right before a WU would finish i would get an error and the core would stop working it did it like 5 times till i said the heck with it and i tried everything to fix it but i had to uninstall it.

Yep, I just uninstalled everything, went back a few days to a restore point and finally the graphics version is working again. sadly though I am not going to try to run 2 at the same time on this CPU until they get the bugs fixed, unless it's just my CPU causing the problems.


Thanks for your help guys

Ok this is how you run two CONSOLE clients on the same system.

Download the console client

Extract the file to a folder anywhere on your computer, mine is in "My Documents" Call the first one "FAH1"

Double click on the console in that version. It is the red icon in the folder.

Imput your settings and make sure that you change opt to change advanced settings.

Make the machine ID 1. And set it to run as a service if you want it to run on startup.

Repeat these steps and replace the 1's with 2's. So now you new folder will be "FAH2" and the Machine ID will be 2.

Now you got two console clients running in the background using your extra CPU power.

and only ht can do this right?

yup or a dual cpu mobo
