Had a nice -bigadv WU lined up, then I woke up to find this.

[08:12:26] Completed 225000 out of 250000 steps (90%)
[16:40:57] CoreStatus = C0000005 (-1073741819)
[16:40:57] Client-core communications error: ERROR 0xc0000005
[16:40:57] Deleting current work unit & continuing...

I have met the enemy, and it is I. I forgot that I had cranked up the video card to max in a lame attempt to get more points. Dummy.

I have 2-GPU rigs that are shut down because I am out of town. Still have 3-bigadv running and assorted GPU2 clients on same rigs. Everything back up on Sunday Night.

 

[mstenholm]

I hope that I still have my hex doing bigadv, its due to deliver anytime soon I can see that my GPU rig is down. Just got a snow covered picture from home so I think I stay a bit longer in South America.

Edit: it was big boy - 92.353, most have been a 6900. Keep them comming please.

Ok I got my folding rig running, posting from it now. What was the name of that program used to easily configure all F@H things? It was relatively new, but the name slips my mind!

Pic is of the finished computer:

PS: If someone could send me 8 fan screws I can get a side fan, and top fan installed!

I'm talking about that one that would detect all the gpus/cpus in your PC and then configure them easily, not HFM.

Great! That is what I was looking for. I currently have a 7202 point WU, so I am a bit confused, but I'll play along with it... I turned on -advmethods, not sure if that was the best idea...

This is from another forum, so beware -

There are new beta WU's for the GPU3 clients and if your GPU is overclocked it WILL overheat. I had a unit go up to 113c while folding one of these. If you have your GPUs set to receive beta WU's beware of the 7202 point project P6811 it can overheat your GPUs. Your GPU if at stock will get warm but not dangerously so, but 100% fan is recommended.

I would disable -advmethods, I got some on my rig the other day, and it ended up crashing the GPU client.

I run -advmethods on all of my GPU3 clients and never have any problems with it crashing.
I also run it on SMP -bigadv and have no problems except on one rig my i7 so I just run regular smp with -advmethods only on it.

Have you had any of the 7202 pointer WU's Tex ??

EDIT:The reason I ask is, my rig was set to 70% fan speed and it had too many failed WU's and then went to sleep.I fixed it by removing the -advmethods flag.Havnt seen any more of the 7202's from then.

EDIT II: This was on my GTX460's which are OC'd and over volted.I had 10 WU failures in a row on them with the 7202 point project P6811.This might only affect 400 series cards.

 

[PVTCaboose1337]

Ok, thanks oily, I will go ahead and abort this WU. I am only getting 62ish Celsius, but it only says 10k PPD, so not worth it!

 

[TeXBill]

Yes I have and had a few of those fail. They always restart and only about 10% fail

 

[oily_17]

62C aint bad, so you may be OK.

I think my problem was having the fan speed set to 70%

I set my fan speed on most of mine to 75%, but it depends on how hot they run. My GTS450 run cool @ 40% fan speed while the 460's and 470's run hot @ 40% fan speed so I set those to 75% and it keeps them below 60C.

 

[PVTCaboose1337]

My 460 is at the stock 40% fan speed. I have not OC'd yet, but I do plan to. What is the tool that all you NVIDIA guys use now? I am an ATI convert.

 

[oily_17]

MSI Afterburner

Maybe my card just runs hot or either my OC is on the edge.I may knock it back a bit and try as these WU's will eventually catch up with me again

 

[PVTCaboose1337]

Can you guys post your 460 clocks? Also, did you bios flash to break the 70% fan speed limit?

I have a zotac card that the fan speed will not go above 70%. the rest of them will do 100% if I want them to. No I didn't flash any of the bios on any of them but my PNY 465 and it was flashed to a 470 bios.

 

[oily_17]

I have the Asus 460's running at 880/1760/1840 with 1.012V and the fan can do 100% on those cards.

Not bad my Asus GTS450 is running stock @ 925 and OC to 950 and the other one is running stock @ 783 but I have it OC to 890 now and the temps are around 45C. My Asus 460 is running @ 850 with 1.015 volts so it sounds like yours is doing ok to me.

 

[theonedub]

IF you run advmethods, def get your fan profiles setup correctly. On the stock cooler I have mine setup to hit 100% when it gets over 85 specifically to deal with the large 7202WU. For the rest of the WUs the card usually sits at 72-77% or 84% which keeps temps at 70-75C.
