Hi there all! I am PortlandAmir and I am fairly new to folding, started recently this last couple weeks. Wanted to see if you guys thought my Points Per Day number was good or could be improved.
My rig specs as follows(NOT OVERCLOCKED):
i7-4770k w/ Corsair H80i Liquid Cooling
16gb 1600Mhz
EVGA GTX 780 FTW w/ ACX COOLER
Samsung EVO SSD 500gb

It all looks fine from what I can see. That being said what people are going to want so that they can make intelligent suggestions would be a copy of the folding log, including the system and config portions (click refresh before copying) between [code] and [/code] tags

Welcome to foldingforum.org, PortlandAmir.
As a general rule, the client sets defaults that are pretty good at maximizing throughput without interfering with foreground activities.
Yes, you can tweak FAH, but it often is a wasted effort.

@PortlandAmir: It looks like you're currently folding on seven CPU cores. You may want to reduce that number to six, as folding on an odd number of cores sometimes causes problems (at least according to this: https://folding.stanford.edu/home/faq/faq-smp/#ntoc5 ).
Configure > Slots > Double-click the "cpu" slot > Change "The number of CPU threads this slot should use" to 6

Re: New Folder. Are my PPD numbers good?
Generally, by the time projects have been released to full FAH folding status it is known whether or not a setting of 7 is going to be an issue. Assignment of the projects where 7 is a problem is restricted to systems not set to that value or the WU's are sent out with wrapper code to reduce the setting from 7 to 6. The first method is more frequently used, so if you find your system having problems getting assignments at 7 changing to 6 can get work from other projects.
