I had my MSI K9A2 Platium running (2) galaxy GTS 250 cards using XP Pro 32-bit but I noticed these cards get hot. I tried a 120mm fan over the cards and that helped some. Something else that I've noticed is the GPU core clock throttles down while the screensaver is running.
![]() I had a better image but lost it when I used the PSU, hard drive and DVD from this rig on another machine. This project will have to wait for some cash to buy more parts. Any idea how I'm going to solve the above two problems when I get back to this project? |

That is an ongoing issue with 250s. My Evga's[3 in one box] will occasionally do this. It usually is a different one each time[I don't use a screen saver]. Reboot will get it back up. There are several threads around and at FAH forum addressing this without a fix. It has been surmised that it was a 250 bios issue. |

I have 2 XFX GTS250's and I never had any heat issue. The most that I've seen mine was 83%. Did you turn the fans to at least 90%?

I had the same throttling problem with the WCG screensaver. I have disabled all screensavers on every rig and the only throttling probs I have now are on driver crashes/GPU recovery's.

At the time I was using my 250s the temperature outside was in the 100s and inside my AC couldn't keep it below 85. The fan was at 100% with the temp easing up to the 90s. This was only the first card. I put a fan over the cards and it lowered. I was thinking of using an EVGA or maybe XFX GTS250 in slot 1 with the other 2 cards to see if that helped.But first I need a PSU. |

A question for the folding gurus
I've been bitten by the folding bug, and it's clear that NVIDIA trumps ATI in folding. (I can find no hard numbers, but I accept the verdict nonetheless.)
I don't have a ton of cash, but would this be acceptable as a replacement for my 4850? Open Box Zotac 9800 GTX It's not the PC listed in my system specs, but a P35 with a E6750 @ 3.6 GHz. Thanks

It trumps the 4850 in folding by a wide margin, you're looking at 5.5K-6K PPD right there.

Anything smaller than 128sp is not worth purchasing going forward. 8800GS/9600GSO and 8800GT/9800GT get eaten alive by 511pt units and F@H work units will not get any easier. Gone are the days of 96sp cards pulling 5300 ppd all day long

How do I disable rec 1888 pointers? I got one and it sat for 40 mins to get to 2% and the entire time my GPU never increased in temp so it was not doing anything effectively. May as well tell me how to rid myself of 511s as well. Appreciate it.

The 1888 pt WU's operate in a "pulse" manner to keep the temp down on the cards. They are actually very productive work units. The 511's are heat monsters. You cannot avoid a work unit. I have tried blocking IP addresses to "avoid" the 511 servers, to no avail. I have realized that I must deal with what they send me. Sorry man.

I'm a little nervous to get hit by the 511s if they cause as much heat as you guys say. My ambient temps are high during the day and the card gets to 68C already doing the 353s. At night the temps are much more manageable with the GPU @ 52C loaded and my E5200 @ 38C loaded. Was hoping it would be like crunching, just set and forget- turns out there is a little more foot work, lol. Thank you for the help guys. Update- Let a 1888 run patiently and Fahmon updated accordingly. Its going to take an estimated 17 hours to complete!

Yes thats on the GSO @ stock clocks (c580/s1334/m500). Sounds like thats too long even for this card? What should I do?
