I've got some 2 historical Error units dating back to 2013 plus some others that are more recent including 2015, 2016 and 2018!!!

I bought 2 GTX1060 cards just before xmas...... Looks like I got them at just the right time as their price has shot up by about 33%....

They replaced my 2 old GTX670 which both started failing within a couple of weeks of each other...

After a load of "error units" on my main system I updated drivers and started crunching again ok.

I'm having the same issue. My graphics card is pretty good and mostly under-used, so I'd really like to help out...



Update to the latest Nvidia driver... you're showing as a GeForce GTX 860M (4095MB) driver: 332.50

LOL - ATI is no longer... swallowed up by AMD quite a while ago....

Doesn't matter which project it is but there's always somebody who complains about their hardware not being supported and it hurts them so much they take to the forums to complain!!!

Why can't people accept projects as they are and choose projects that can utilise their hardware and quit with the complaining!!!

Hello

I'm using one of these cases: http://www.sentey.com/en/bx1-4237-v21 although I have 7 fans installed, I have only the 2 side fans working to introduce air and the rear fan working with the top two fans pulling air. One of the top fan does not work and will be replaced in the coming days.
I'm processing with the processor about 2 or 3 degrees of temperature below the graphics card, the processor is cooled by a Coolermaster Gemin II S524.
Also I replaced the original power supply that cabinet had installed by a power supply Sentey 80 + Gold 850 watts.


Thanks to all of you for responding.


You could drop your CPU temps significantly using a better cooler like the Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO or the Xigmatek SD128264 Aegir.

I use the Xigmatek on my main systems and at full load the core temps are only 17 DegC higher than idle temps on my 1090T's running push/pull fans on it.

Regarding your plan of retiring one 1090T and bringing a GTX660Ti back: sounds good! I couldn't leave a still-up-to-date 28 nm chip lying around. You can eco-tune it by lowering the power target until it runs at a little over 1.00 V. At that point it will "only" draw ~100 W running GPU-Grid at almost native speed. Those AMD chips can usually also use a significant voltage reduction.

I've well impressed by the Richand APU's I've got. I've got 3 of them, 2 of which I'm crunching on and both undervolted and running a mild overclock. I recently built a mini-ITX cruncher running a A8-6500 which has turned out to be a very efficent low power cruncher.

I'm edging towards updating... but the Gigabyte FM2+ motherbod I fancy doesn't seem to be available in the UK yet.

I intend to stay within medical research projects and already have 2 AMD APU systems crunching SIMAP.... so I'm edging towards that.

I'm also edging towards updating one of my 1090T rigs to running a lower powered APU based system and maybe just running GPUGRID only on that system with dual GFX cards. I currently have a GTX660ti mothballed. Selling one of the 1090T's and Asus Crosshair IV motherboard should cover the cost of the system update and would probably allow me to bring the 660Ti back in to use without an increase in my current running costs.

Before starting with GPUGRID most of my effort was directed towards Docking@Home, a very similar project to GPUGRID but CPU only. Well, the news has come out that Docking@Home is concluding at the end of this month. :-(

My 2 main rigs are old school... Phenom II X6 1090T's which have been great for crunching Docking WU's Looks like I'll end up 17th in the Docking user rankings when the project finishes. Well, I've 2 crunchers looking for a new project... what would you recommend to crunch alongside GPUGRID?

SIMAP
Rosetta
WCG

I've had 6 App820(CUDA60) units successfully complete on my XP32 cruncher... Looking good!!!
