I'll gave it a try.
Is there some sort of .conf file when you can specify overclock settings under windows?
Is there some tweaks to have your gpu at 100% like in other mining coins?
I have 2 R9 290, what Hashrate should I expected, and where can I see it?
Overclocking is actually discouraged, as it tends to lead to small errors that can cause you to lose a work unit or have it "hang" near the end. Start with Stock clocks on everything.
I believe that the 290 does something like 150,000PPD plus, but I'm guessing a bit there.
I agree, the best you can do is to set all your CPU GPU to factory settings ea original BIOS!! This is very important.
To give you even more stability you can schange in your motherboard bios settings the PCIe version to 2, the bandwith of 3 is not used and 2 gives more stability in the PCIe clocking.
When you start to fold you get a "work" for each GPU, they are different size, but in avarage they are about 2 days long to complete, you get your point when the software do upload a finished work to standford, when you are new all works a started at the same time that gives you about 2 days lag to get any results like statisitics or coins. This is smoded out when times passes by and all different works are scaddered around in time.
1: Please use factory settings - NO changes of settings.
2: You need a pair 1 CPU to 1 GPU, if you have 3GPU in one computer then the CPU need to have at least 3 CPU's
3: Install the software and change to "FULL" speed
4: You should not check the GPU or CPU load, it does not tell you anything.
5: After about 1 hour you can check if the xx.x1 numbers are changing, the PPD point per day is the numbers you should study.(and tpf)
6: You get around 150000 PPD from 1 290x GPU + some fue point of an CPU core folding.
7: If you get that a work stops at 99.99 then the syncronisation with the worker and the work is lost, you only need to pause(Wait until they turn yellow with the pause text), now you restarts the folding again. This you do by right click on the worker that are connected to the stalled work, not on the big buttons (OK that works to)
8: wait, wait, wait, wait, you get your coins.
9: The folding homepage numbers are all nothing to look, they send you the coins you earns every day.
10: This is a good statisitics page to check you progress by hour, day, week, month...
This is my statistics (I have been in and out for a couple days, thats wy they are so ...)
http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/user_summary.php?s=&u=656893 After a couple of days your statisitics are found if you search your name here:
http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_list.php?s=11:When time passes by you statistics stabilises and grows day by day until they flats out.
I have studied coins, scrypt, scrypt-N, X11 and cure coin are different, it have a great reason to mint the couns, to find cure to desisses!
Happy folding with curecoin

By the way, tpf are the avarage time you need to fold 1%, please remember you need to fold a complete 1% to get some sort of good number out of that, if you have around 7 to 9 min then you are right on target.!! If you don't have it - wait, wait - only with 99.99% you need to do anything!
Thanks for your answer.
One of my 290 has a 151000ppd, the other one only 118000, don't know what to change, check
