Its easy to setup and use. You configure your clients during setup and then you are off to the races. They have a pictorial setup guide here: http://folding.stanford.edu/English/WinGuide

I've tried the V7 just a few days ago for a few minutes, it did not pick up all my gpu's for folding, had less user control options and interface was confusing, went back to tracker. Had a lot of faild WU's on my 8800gs and 9600 gso downclocking seemed to help temps went down from 90 to 45 but still seeing a sporadic WU fails.

Dump the tracker and use V7. I have had only one issue since going this route.
1. My 460 would not fold on the same machine with my older 285 or 8800 gtx. Fermi does not play well with other cores regardless of the tweeks you make.

The setup is easier, in my opinion than the tracker and it seems to be a bit more stable with multi gpu’s plus smp.

That being said, the room that houses my folding boxes was 81F this morning (with the AC in the house set a 70F to combat humidity and pollen). One of the boxes stopped because of heat buildup. Going to have to fold with only one box for awhile. It should not be this warm and humid in Ohio this early. We need a good old fashion ice age.

I was folding on 2 separate machines. 260 was in my server, 580 being in my main rig. I actually had to drop out of the folding contest today because of the heat. I had the same problems but we have 2 room mates here and the AC trying to keep up froze the bedrooms out while the main part of the apartment was roasting.

Amazing how much heat these things can kick off when running full blast.

Yea I decided to completely leave my server out of folding and just did the 580. Still way too hot. It's just very funny to me cause I can game on both machines all day and it will never get this hot.

Which proves that games do not use any where near 100% of your cards. that's why I use furmark and folding to generate heat in cases for testing.

Yet, they load your GPU, VRAM, and VRAM controller up to 100% (some)? Folding only uses 1 part of your card for a long period of time. The heat from that just builds up over time where as when you are gaming it isn't loading your system for that long.
