Folding@home won't use more than 4 of my 30 cores?

Post by ClawzSkunk »

Hi all,

I'm hoping someone can help. For some reason Folding@Home doesn't appear to be using all of my cores to fold? It's using 4 cores at 100%, 4 cores at 50% and then the rest appear to be idling at 10%? If anyone can help to suggest a way to resolve this it would be greatly appreciated.

First work unit on CPU only uses low core and then other work units will use all. If you also run FAH on GPU then it also needs one CPU thread to feed it.

You can also go to FAH advanced control and set CPU slot threads manually. I would recommend 30 threads.
