Posted 4764 days ago by Otis11 I'm running 2 x 260s with the preference for only long WUs but now have 12 WUs (10 long 2 ACEMD2) Cache set for 7 days but I don't need that cache for GPUGrid tasks... is this getting set back to max 4 or do I need to tweak my end? |

Posted 4765 days ago by Otis11 as far as worrying about temps, your GPUs are rated at 105C. While it may not be advisable to run them this hot, I would not worry about running them at 80-85C. Your CPU on the other hand is only rated to 75C, but again, I would not worry about this until 65C. Sorry about that, didn't mean to be generic. I was actually referring to the parts he had mentioned in his post. AFAIK, every GPU capable of running GPUGrid is rated at 105C, but I guess I could be mistaken. I do have to correct my statement about the CPU though. The most recent Opterons are rated at 66C. (Although I find AMD to be more conservative with their max temps, so although I personally wouldn't flinch running it at 65C it is probably not recommended.) And while the statement about leakage is true, you also have to keep in mind that the average fan consumes 3-5 watts. Unless your CPU is at the point of melting, you are unlikely to get back more leakage power than an average fan consumes. |

Posted 4765 days ago by Otis11 I've gotta agree with Snow Crash here. I have a H70 to cool my CPU and although it works great, a True (from thermalright) will work comparably. The benefit for me of using the H70 is that I move my computer from city to city a lot and with large metal heat sinks, the bumps along the road ruin my mount. If you don't tend to move your computer frequently, air is the easiest option. Also, as far as worrying about temps, your GPUs are rated at 105C. While it may not be advisable to run them this hot, I would not worry about running them at 80-85C. Your CPU on the other hand is only rated to 75C, but again, I would not worry about this until 65C. For reference, an i7 920 is rated at 100C. I ran one for 11 months strait between 90-95C with no degradation, so again, at those temps, I would not be too concerned. Edit: And Snow Crash should have said he runs his stuff at 80+C. (IIRC) |

Increase in queue, from 2 WUs to 6?

Posted 5309 days ago by Otis11 I was down to 2 WUs at a time on my 260, but now I'm getting 10 at a time again, and so am not getting the turn around required for the bonus. Is there anything I can do to make it get fewer WUs? |

Posted 5354 days ago by Otis11 I wasn't sure how to do the resource share. I have cache down to one day which is as low as i'm willing to do since it's also running WCG and internet goes out regularly for up to 12-16 hours. So at one day it still DLs 6. |

Posted 5355 days ago by Otis11 IDK about PG, but I did not. How would I do that? |

Posted 5356 days ago by Otis11 Yes, as PG said, I am having this problem now too. I'm getting 6 tasks at a time, and am not consitent enough to abort WUs. I'm running Bionic 6.5.0 on Win7 64bit on a GTX 260 216 Driver 190.37. Any fix? |
