I have a MSI K9N2 PLatinum SLI mobo , with 2 260 gtx's and I also run 3 monitors . For me to be able to run all three monitors and sli I have the onboard chipset enabled running the third monitor. Problem is when I fire up SETI or MW , my onboard vga also jumps in the mix and starts crunching. Which would be fine execpt it doesnt have a fan to cool it , therefore my reported temps go up to 70c . This worries me , so how do I prevent the onboard chip from crunching?

6.10.36 or later: Added ability to ignore specific GPU cards through the use of ignore device through the use of a configuration file option

You can tell BOINC to exclude it from use in the cc config file with:

I am looking for the option... and can't find it!

Ah! <ignore_cuda_dev>x</ignore_cuda_dev>; or:
<ignore_ati_dev>x</ignore_ati_dev>

Where x is the CUDA device number of the device to ignore.

thanks , i will give it a try

says unrecognized tag <ignore_cuda_dev>

hmmmm

says unrecognized tag <ignore_cuda_dev>

hmmmm

You need to update to at least 6.10.36, you currently have 6.10.18.
