Hello.
Long time no seen.
My computer has been folding for couple of years now.
I got 3 x gtx 1060 and the summer is here.
My computer gets way too hot and turns off.
Does Folding home have a low mode. I cant really see nor find anything.
The low medium and high is for the cpu, but I cant find anything for the graphic cards.
How to solve this? anyidea?

Use x1 or afterburner and lower the power setting, set it to 70% or so and see.
Take one of the GPUs out for the Summer/warmer months.
Side panel off and put a fan blowing into the case.
Combinations of those ideas.

I am NOT cpu folding and the light medium and full doesnt impact graphic cards to my understanding.
I am looking for an build in Low, Medium or High power mode. Folding home doesnt have that, right?
I did use the MSI Afterburner and set it to 70%, works very well, but I heard that graphic cards can get damaged, True or false?
1 gtx 78 %
2 gtx 82 %
3 gtx 71 %
Before it went higher then 90 %

I have never heard that using the power slider can hurt the GPU if you use it. Why would EVGA put that slider in their software if it would kill the GPU? I doubt they would.

I dont use the evga, I use the MSI Afterburner, I didn't even know that EVGA had that.
Where did I get that information from??? I got curious now. lol
So you are saying that adjusting the power slider doesn't damage the graphic card by delivering less power instead of 100%?

I can't say for sure it doesn't, but I have used it and my cards still work fine.
There are "How to" threads on here that say to do it and as far as I know no one has come back and said
"It killed my GPU".
Why would EVGA put the slider there if it would hurt your card? It just makes it slow down.
I would think slowing down is better than overclocking, but the software lets you do that too.
Cards today seem to have built in protections and will protect themselves.
Like downclocking when hot no matter what you set the voltage or speed to. Right?

It is working perfectly fine.
My middle card gets 80 to 83 degress while the others are under 80 degress.
Small update, I wrote I had 3 x gtx 1060 which is wrong.
I have 1 x GTX 1050 Ti & 2 x GTX 1060.
I do have the option to lower the GTX 1060 further down to 50 %, but the GTX 1050 TI cant be lowered then 70 %.
Wonder if that is a good idea?

I dont know, 8 to 14 hours per unit. Nothing really changed their.
The PPD had small impact.
GTX 1050 Ti the PPD 223650 ( Decreased PPD )
GTX 1060 PPD 709305 ( Increased PPD )
GTX 1060 PPD 424956 ( Decreased PPD )
For the GTX 1060 cards, I would say normally it is between 5xxxxx and 6xxxxx.
Very rare I get 4xxxxx and 8xxxxx, but it did happen when I change the power mode to low (70 %)

Dont ask me anything about this extremeoverlocking.com, I simply dont understand it. Everytime I add my folding home nickname, I see 0 if front of it.
In total I have been folding on this folding home nickname approximately 500 mil.
I dont use the cpu for folding, only graphic cards.
This is my folding home nickname 7l7nev58uok1

I am still having problems with this computer. It went off again, but it wasnt because of the graphic cards. It was because of the CPU. I got an AMD FX8150 8 cores & a very big cooler & yet still I got problems cooling it down. Who has the same problem?

What size PSU are you running on them? What is this "very big cooler" you are using? What thermal paste and age are you using? Are you Overclocking the CPU?

Power supply = Cooler Master 750 Watt
Cooler = Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
Overclocking = Never liked to overclock anything, I actually underclocking now.
I had to disable "Boost performance", so I lost 4 cores now. The cpu is working on 4 cores.
Thermal pasta from last year.

shutdowns (like someone pulled the plug) - can be a significant sign of a PSU issues
warmer room temps = more Wattage drawn by warmer hardware
& some of the current WU (as always) are intense, pushing your hardware harder than the "normal" WU ... will test the stability of your Rig

I also do not use HT or "Boost performance" to keep the heat down.
If you are also using 2 Fans on your 212 EVO then I would change over to an AIO Water Cooler like;
Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240L RGB V2, Close-Loop AIO CPU Liquid Cooler, 240 Radiator, Dual SickleFlow 120mm, RGB Lighting, 3rd Gen Dual Chamber Pump for AMD Ryzen/Intel LGA1151
or the Corsair Hydro Series H100x Extreme Performance Liquid / Water 240mm CPU Cooler (CW-9060040-WW) LGA 1700 Compatible

Exactly, like someone pulled the plug. Power Supply....hardly believe that is the one that causes it. I had problems cooling down this fx8150 cpu for some reason, compared with the i7 7700k. This FX8150 is VERY annoying. Never had problems with the i7-7700k & I had 6 graphic cards running. I only got 1 fan on my cooler. I might switch back to intel cpu.

Good idea! What board are you running the i7 on? I am also curious what kind of PCI slots are you running? Risers.? what type? etc. 6 gpu's was mentioned, as not having issues, and now you are running 3 gpu's with issues...

Six GPUs running on one 750w PSU?
I wouldn’t run three GPUs on one 750w PSU
First thing I would do is take two GPUs out and run one full speed and test it for as long as it takes the system to shut down
If it did it every twelve hours runt it for twenty four
Then swap out to another GPU and then swap it out for the last one.
That will let you know each GPU is ok
Then add a second GPU and see if it runs longer than it used to take to shut down
I think the PSU is too small

In the 1st video you had an EVGA 1000w PSU, do you still have it?
Can you swap it into the system you're running now?

If I calculated it right...
GTx 1060 = 150 Watt x 2 = 300 watt
Gtx 1050 Ti = 75 Watt
FX8150 = 125 Watt
Total 500 Watt
Rest of the system has 250 Watt.

The MB and HD will use about 125w or so, so that leaves 125w
But the PSU wattage rating includes other voltages you will not use.
Try taking out one or two GPUs and see if it stays on line.
You have to do some troubleshooting now.
We can talk all day, time to act.

Aside from the PSU looking at all your specs and temps
Most of the time cards and CPU will throttle down but still run.
Resets/reboots can be PSU or memory.
How is the airflow in the case? Do you keep the side panel off?
Try a fan blowing into the case?
If it is a temp related issue cause it is Summer where you are you still maybe better off removing the middle card, run the system see how the temps are. See if it stays online.
What size is the cord between the wall and the PSU?
You're loading up this system if the cord is 18ga it maybe getting really hot and causing shutdowns.
I had that happen when I went from 500w to a 850 and did not use the cord that came with the PSU
It could not handle the amperage. After it is running for a while feel the cord, is it hot?
