Well, if either Boinc sorts

Well, if either Boinc sorts itself out, or if I figure out what I messed up, I would like it to run CPU tasks. CPDN has very irregular work shortages. At one time this month, I had no tasks from there, and now I have three month long tasks. If another one gets downloaded, Boinc might have a deadline heart attack.

I could run SETI as the cpu backup, but then I'd need a backup for my backup. ;)

Boinc does not seem to handle gpus well. It would be nice to make a small gpu cache while not caching cpu in my case.

But then......it is Chris asking for help right now

I'm following the thread because I have a similar Problem. I had the resource share of Einstein@home at 1000 and of Albert@home at 1. But even then I got a lot of tasks for Albert and not 1000 times as much for Einstein. I stoped Albert now, because I think there are enough Intel+NVidia host out there to test the new apps.

Set E@H to gpu only. Computer

Set E@H to gpu only. Computer is going through some high priority issues at the moment as it tries to bring the run away tasks back down before their deadlines run out.

E@H runs a little hotter than CPDN, I can hear the fans when it goes high priority and runs 4 E@H. I'll see what I can do about upgrading once the rather unstable 3 week run time CPDN tasks finish.

Yeah one of mine does that if it is running 4 GRP's at the same time but not if it was 4 GW S6's......I would hear the fan and it would remind me to pause it for a couple seconds because I also run a T4T X2 along with the BRP X2 and that way I could just run one GRP at a time.

But then I don't always run the GRP's all the time on that one and since it is running cuda's OC's I either use EVGA Precision X or SpeedFan to ajust fan speeds.

But I do have one host that only runs GRP's X2 and the T4T X2 since I don't have a cuda card in that one.

I never have ran CPDN.....and since Einstein is my favorite project I don't run any others besides the T4T and some LHC's mixed in when they have some tasks.

I only run the cuda cards here.

Looks like your GTX 650 is running fine.......is it OC'd?

The GTX 650 is straight from

The GTX 650 is straight from the box. 1058 mhz according to newegg, so its not a factory OC either.

My HP case though is cooling deficient, one exhaust fan, one cpu fan, and the gpu fan which only most exhausts. Running up to 65C with everything going. Sometimes a higher load will cause the fan to run full and then it gets cooler.

Speed fan does not seem to control anything here, it monitors fine though.

Hi Chris, Your video card

Hi Chris,

Your video card manufacturer might have software available to monitor and control the card. If not, search out ASUS GPU Tweak. It's a very usable product and may work with your card. HWmonitor from CPUID will allow you to monitor temps and fan speeds on the motherboard as well as the video card.

Your case cooling might be quite ok and only need some tweaking to get the air flow working more effectively. Most cases do a good job of getting cool air in down low. However the case fan usually pulls the air past the video card and out the back of the case before it gets a chance to do anything useful. Fabricating a baffle between the video card (air inlet side) and the side of the case will direct the cool air through the video card and leave the case fan with warm air to exhaust.
