how hot did your card get while playing/folding?

also, hows the cooling on the vrm area?

and thanks lol

i think it overcalculated it though, its down to 14800~

 

[Fitseries3]

im getting jipped on points somewhere.

i have this folding...

sr2#1 - 2x 5690's @ 3.9ghz (win7)
sr2#2 - 2x 5675's @ 3.4ghz (OSX)
sr2#3 - 2x 5687's @ 4ghz(megarig)(win7)
silvermax - 980x @ 4.2ghz(OSX)
4x gtx480s @ 700mhz(megarig)(win7)

no bigadv at the moment. just standard WU's i think... most cpus running GRO-A3 at the moment.

i have gpus limited to 80% due to heat right now. (apt is HOT as FOOK!!!)

can anyone give me a rough estimate of PPD?

I'm not sure....I'll turn on GPU-Z next time while he is playing to see what she is doig.

It's just stock cooling on it.....sticker 9800GTX+ + it's on the bottom of the case...I might just install it on a motherboard tray...been thinking about it.

Best way for us to help you is for you to post a HFM.NET screenshot. Make sure that the project, core, credit, and TPF columns show along with a good description.

Enough to have a very big slice of cherry pie

those 9800gtx's CAN get hot

but yeah, i would try and put it on the tray for a while and see if it helps, if it does then its most likely the temps

 

[Magikherbs]

so what does your farm consist of now?

Heya and pardon the delayed response lol.. aaand just found out what 'farm' means ! Im a 'budget noob' So what u see is what u get

I never found it necc and/or affordable to own a comp until 2 yrs ago. Paid $310 for a pc barebones kit, Athlon 64 x2 5000+, MSI nForce 430/6150se, 1gb DDR2 ect.. Then this past spring, I realized that sellin/trading comp parts online IS just the same as trading items on DII LOD My net costs on this config are only $260 My most recent addition being the Palit GTS 250 which was only $60. and.. Im STILL rockin the Caviar Blue HDD that the kit came with !

Peace

EDIT

I sense that some of you with HIGH GPU OR CPU temps, have the ram installed on the dimms closest to the cpu. If you have 4 dimms on your mobo, try moving your ram to the 2 other slots. Yes, your GPU will still run warm/hot, but your CPU will have some room to breathe, thus more able to handle the HEAT. This is especially important if you are using stock GPU HSFs. I have yet to test this on an Intel config but results should be similar.

Oh I know it's the temps. Turning on the window A/c and just kicking it down a few degrees in the room stops it from becoming unstable.

 

[[Ion]]

Fits, you should be able to get right near 200k PPD w/ that!

 

[Fitseries3]

upped gpus to 90%. hoping for some decent numbers today

 

[[Ion]]

Awesome, can't wait!

Could you get a HFM SS of everything?

GTX260 now folding (for TPU), SS later

 

[Fitseries3]

my machines are in 2 different places actually. home and work.

i'll grab the home machines screenie here... 1 min

CPU PPD is way low. I get far more than that on my i7 @ 3,8ghz on that WU. Try setting the CPU to just -smp 22 to see if that goes better

Your TPFs on that WU should be 2-3 minutes, tops

 

[Fitseries3]

why does it do that?

 

[[Ion]]

Do what? PPD go down? Or turn yellow? It's yellow because the client hasn't done 3 percent yet since it was last started.

 

[Fitseries3]

no, why does it run like crap unless you specify -smp 15

 

[[Ion]]

-smp 15? WTH?

And that's still a bit low IMO. You should be able to do -smp 20 or -smp 22 with TPFs under 3 minutes...if you get anything under 50k PPD from the CPUs, something's wrong

 

[Fitseries3]

isnt that for # of threads? i only have 16 in this machine.

its dropped since the pic

 

[mstenholm]

why does it do that?

http://img.techpowerup.org/101007/Capture162.jpg

The 480 (GPU3) steals a fair amount of CPU cycle and the CPU SMP does not like to be interrupted in their work. The short, and not very sicentific explaination, but it seems to hold water in your case. Let's see the 200k PPD.

 

[Fitseries3]

i restarted cpu client and now it cannot connect to get work. WTF?

EDIT: finally got a WU

 

[[Ion]]

Oh, thought that it was a dual hex-core system. In that case, try -smp 15 or even -smp 14, you should be able to get ~4minute TPFs on that WU.

 

[Fitseries3]

 

[[Ion]]

Much better

How many threads are you using for SMP?

 

[Fitseries3]

i set it to -smp 14

i should get this machine OCed. lol! its sitting at stock 3.6ghz right now.

i guess i should setup the machines at work similarly?

 

[[Ion]]

Yeah....I'd use -smp (n-1), where n is the number of threads it has. And definitely OC
