From Collatz Conjecture Today.


Nice one bcavnaugh
I see you do some serious pulling over at Collatz. I was searching for some good GPU Projects besides GPUGRID.
Picked up some Collatz tasks, and they seem promising so far.
I've had some system shutdowns lately, so I Wonder if any had the same problem when "Precision X" is running together With BOINC ?
Testing without Precision X for a while now.

From what I have read for at lest BOINC they say not to OC the GPU.
I have EVGA Precision X installed but setup no profiles, one item I did see a while back was the power .exe file running at 8% CPU for each GPU installed. Remove EVGA Precision X and Do Not Save Profiles. Re-Install EVGA Precision X but do not change the Voltage and if you create a profile only set one to setup your Fan Speed.

The power .exe file makes perfect sense, and I can now confirm that Precision X interfers With certain BOINC tasks.
The other day I was monitoring how malaria tasks was suspended when I fired up Precision, to run again when I ended Precision.
"CPU busy" was logged, even though I had in my preferences not to suspend if cpu busy.
The 8% cpu load for Precision would much possibly tell BOINC that the cpu is busy, and override.
I have tested for different Project that goes well hand in hand With both cpu and gpu tasks.
I thought Malaria and GPUGRID was a good idea to run together, but ran into issues. Issues that may have been caused by Precision.
I don't OC the Cards, my intentions with Precision is to keep the Cards at only 82c, and no further.
I will do further testing, but without Precision for now.
I hope to combine CPU and GPU tasks that runs Nicely together.
 
Stay tuned bcavnaugh, I see you far far ahead......

That is exactly how I run my Precision X. Fan profile only in turbo mode and do not over clock the GPU.

 To see what your GPUs are up to use EVGA NV-Z 0.x.x the EXE is located under "C:\Program Files\EVGA\EVGA OC Scanner X" and called nvz.exe I create a short cut and Pin it to my TaskBar. You will need to install EVGA OC Scanner X or copy the exe from another computer.
Under No Load.

Thanks bcavnaugh.
Some other stuff has happened too, besides of Precision x.
I didn't intend to hijack this "Post Your badges" thread, I'll make a New thread With my problem.
Thanks again

Should be lots of new primegrid badges coming everyones' way now they have restructured the credit system for the sieves......

Are they going to even give out based on older scores or Points?
Or from this day on.

Based on existing scores, whereby bringing the sieves into line with the rest of the projects.
