Math was a little off on wattages. Promise that won't happen again.Probably...

CPUs with dual channel memory (AMD Ryzen, intel Core) may not benefit from this as much.After a while, when all cases download and are running in each slot, see if total estimated points per day eventually increases. To undo the change, remove non-running cpu slots in Configure-Slots, then edit the top cpu slot threads back to -1.Note that if you run GPUs, free up 2-4 CPU threads to handle GPU data or disable CPU slots altogether to get maximum points from just GPU folding.

Looks ok, but you are not getting bonus. FAH installer is mute on this, and it took me a week to figure out that to get more points, I need to set up a "passkey", as described here: https://foldingathome.org/support/faq/points/passkey/After 10 work units are done you will start getting bonus.
BTW, Houston155 needs to do the same.

Some Intel Core processers have 4-channel memory controllers. My i9-9980XE does, my x299 Motherboard supports 4 memory channels, and all 8 DIMM slots are full, but I lost ground adding multiple CPU slots of 4, 6, or 8 threads each.
My PPD is in the 1.5-1.6M range with ‘-1’ (let client choose) and dropped to 1.2-1.3M with any other combination of CPU/slot configurations.
I’m not sure if FAH sends different, higher scoring workloads to machines with a higher core count (they used to have an optional switch for machines with >= 24? cores).
Either way - this machine is doing nights and weekends (it has to do its ‘real’ job during office hours) and 4 other machines in the house are 24/7 dedicated to the task!

Since last Friday.
Thank you for sharing experience with this particular Intel Core. The difference may come in Intel vs AMD compiler optimization. The current guide for GROMACS which is commonly used by researchers these days says in http://manual.gromacs.org/current/user-guide/mdrun-performance.html"The OpenMP implementation is quite efficient and scales well for up to 12-24 threads on Intel and 6-8 threads on AMD CPUs"
similar discussion here https://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=34144&p=324230
The gain or loss in actual points during a day may also come as two or more slots _may_ have a better chance than one slot to get a work unit downloaded.Maybe you are right about download preference for the number of threads: my 8-thread unit stays running, while the 4-thread unit keeps waiting for a download most of the time.Also leave some threads free to feed the GPUs.

But you guys are kicking the doors down (and breaking breakers!) and I just wanted to tell you that if I wasn't a fan of the store in the past - and I was - this sort of effort to help the world just nails it. Thanks to all of you for everything you are doing here. Dallas Customer Thanks Tramp78 - there's definitely an excited buzz around giving back to our local communities in a number of ways, whether it's folding, printing face shields, or donating PLA. Thank you for your support.
