Posted 23 Jun 2011 by seigell Post: Will non-Zero Credits be issued for these submitted nbody WU Results ?? Or only proper Credits issued for new work submitted by such "Older Clients" ?? |

Posted 17 Sep 2010 by seigell Post: While I've now had a couple of de_nbody_model1 tasks complete successfully, I've also had a set of de_nbody_test tasks abort after about 20 min processing on a core of my Q6600 - all "exceeded elapsed time limit 1071.326130". Are thest "test" tasks set with such a short timelimit purposefully ?? |

Posted 24 Nov 2009 by seigell Post: MW is Back !! That's the Main Thing !! Crunching WUs for a project you have interest in is way better than staring at an empty Task Queue, regardless whether you get unpteem extra credits than down the street or simply parity or a few less (which simply encourages the optimizations). In any case... MW is Back !! (Travis: Slather on an extra dose of Skin Hardener, and keep an eye on "our" new Server Hard Drives !! And... THANKS !!) |

Midgrade GeForce Cards - what temps OK running MW CUDA
(Message 33051)
Posted 5 Nov 2009 by seigell Post: OK, so I dropped $40 on a relatively generic GPU Fan kit - twice the fan size as stock on my 9600GT with copper fins radiating 3-4 inches and midgrade heatsink paste. But it's still only running a few degrees cooler before TThrottle has to scale back the GPU Tasks. The CPU temps didn't deteriorate, so any extra radiated heat must be sufficiently exhausting from the case. Still in search of some real info on what can realistically be expected from a GPU Fan for a midgrade GeForce card. And what Temp is the most appropriate TThrottle threshold ?? |

Midgrade GeForce Cards - what temps OK running MW CUDA
(Message 32637)
Posted 22 Oct 2009 by seigell Post: Long-term: To me that is 6-8 months (250 cards will HOPEFULLY be reasonable price by then). For others it might be "lifetime" (at least 1-2 years). I'll grant that all serious Gamers and OC'ers will have higher-end gear already. But this question is for us in the middle. And, I know about the healthy market for VGA Coolers - but many seem little better than stock or worse pure snake-oil !! And many are unrealistic in price - $75 cooler = replacement card. Or in size - Motherboard design is screwy facing the PCI-x card "inward" thus limiting depth so severly. So, original question remains: what temps are OK ?? |

Posted 22 Oct 2009 by seigell Post: For many of you, you are overclocking highend GeForce cards - so you MUST have heat dissipation under control. For those of us running midgrade GeForce Cards - 9600GT / 9800GT etc - the stock GPU fans and heatsinks aren't that great. What temps can we realistically run the GPU up to - AND expect it to survive long-term ?? Are there realistic alternatives - aftermarket heatsink fans ?? Do they do much good over the stock ones ?? |

CUDA Application Updated
(Message 31664)
Posted 28 Sep 2009 by seigell Post: down side is that I have seen more lag on the screen ... as most my machines are dedicated to BOINC ... What about setting the CUDA App "priority" down just a bit, to improve the GUI responsiveness for the other 95% of us who want to contribute to MW Science but need to perform work in the foreground to pay for our BOINC "contributions" ?? Can this new CUDA App be "detuned" sufficiently to improve GUI Responsiveness ?? |
