So after I told fah to stop after the core 18 it was working on so I could play some far cry 3, it then downloaded a core 15 and that caused some hell. I got a grey screen and some massive coil whine. Louder than I have ever heard it. I rebooted and set the clocks back to stock and still had it. I know its not allowed to drop wu's but I don't feel comfortable doing the 15s with that much coil whine.

Yea my gtx 980 is almost the same. I get no coil whine on core17's, then the core15's come rolling in and its the ONLY thing that makes the cards start to produce coil whine. Core15's are also much more sensitive to overclocks. Coil whine does not harm the card at all, all it does it annoy people.

glad (sort of) to hear that im not the only one with the problem
there was almost a ticking going on with the whine, almost like i could hear the power being injected into the card, i know this sounds crazy, but it was also 1am, so i may have been hearing things, and i had also just finished taking an outpost on far cry 3
 
also, the top 4 producers for mountain are doing over 80% of the total for all 11 people, i feel so insignificant with my ~1% lol

you know the problem with racing is, is everyone is always at least 1-4 hours behind the east coast.

That is a Good Point, Next Year Start Time Needs to be Set At 2200 Hours UTC Time.

Even .1% makes a difference.

coil whine....
Good way to work out coil whine is to Fold Hard and Heavy.

on another note
will it cause any problems in my system to put my gtx 570 back in and have it fold too?
i have the power connections and i think my 750 watt psu could handle it
what do you guys think?

Doh! I'm usually way behind everybody else just doin' my own thing.

un4givn85
so i should just let the 15s be loud and not worry about it? i tend to worry about my almost $400 piece of equipment lol
i guess worst case scenario i use the advanced rma process i paid for lol

The coil whine is nothing to be concerned about, it's just annoying.
 
Core 15's DO require some monitoring of your hardware if you run a high overclock, are
close to the limit of your PSU, or have a hot environment.
 
They work your GPU significantly harder than other cores (which doubles the annoyance of not getting a QRB with them) thus using more power and more heat. 
 
 
 

Milestone time for me... I broke 150 Team and 1500 Project Simultaneously.  And I am finally over 50 million.  
 
I should probably live on base at the next place, just so I can have more free electricity, LOL.  The fold may get expensive in the future, running two x processors and looking to get 2-3 more GK110 GPU's (that part is in the air for now).
 
 

Bah curse you Core 15's !!!!! 

un4givn85
with the 970 doing an 18 and the 570 doing a 17 im pulling 500 watts at the socket
that is still a safe area with a 750 watt psu right?

You should be fine.

Congrats Scarlet-Tech.....and your kickin a.. in the TZC too
 
I just broke 25 mil....not bad for folding on and off for 7 months

It should not hurt anything to put you 570 in under your other card. But you will most likely have to reinstall drivers.Not sure how fha will react though but it should find it ok.
 

Everything went fine. Reinstalled drivers and all is well except fah has them backwards.

*Keep in mind that your OpenCL and CUDA indexes *may not* necessarily be the same value* (eg. on one of my 970s and my old 680 (3 GPUs total in the system) the OpenCL index required "1", while the CUDA index required "2" for the 970. Vice versa for the 680.)
