(PS, I am astounded that GPUGrid will not help you. They were the ones that helped me get started in 2008.) Same thing happened to me DM. To cut down on spam their forum rules now require you to show returned results before you can post. Bummer when you're just trying to get started.  Well that's a steaming pile of dingo dung! GPUGrid FAQ's:http://www.gpugrid.net/forum_forum.php?id=4 @RT: I re-read your post and would recomment you download both GPU-Z and EVGA Precision. With EVGA Precision, perhaps I can help. Everything you have posted screams "heat problem" to me. http://www.evga.com/precision/  [Edit 3 times, last edit by Dataman at Mar 15, 2012 4:50:38 PM] |

RT, send skgiven a PM. He is a mod at GPUGrid and knows his GPUs. I'm sure he isn't wanting to have a full discussion about GPUGrid on another projects boards, although the solution will probably help someone run the HCC betas.
----------------------------------------What was the deadline on the previous betas?   [Edit 2 times, last edit by mwgiii at Mar 15, 2012 4:36:56 PM] |

Everything you have posted screams "heat problem" to me. http://www.evga.com/precision/ Hey Dataman. Good to hear from you. OK I am running precision now. Yup it seemed to me like a heat problem as well but, like Sargent Shultz, I know nothing about these. With no load I am at GPU temp 39, GPU usage 5, Fan Speed 40% Fan tach 1440. Settings: Core Clock 772 Shader Clock 1544 Memory Clock 2004 Fan Speed 40 (Auto) Wattage from external meter for entire machine 170 Now will fire up a task from GPUGRID Running GPU Temp 77C GPU Usag 97 Fan speed 56 Fan tach 2190 Wattage from external meter for entire machine 341 Fan area is really clear in a huge case. Will add more info when it fails...which I expect shortly. mwqiii. I understand and appreciate what you are saying but since I cannot talk on the GPUGRID board and I am just trying to get a GPU going, I am left with little choice. and I am just getting ready to run WCG GPU stuff. |

A wee bit warm, my old friend. First click the radio button for "Apply at Windows Start Up". Take your fan off auto and bump up the fan % until you can get it down to 65C or less with a load. Click on "Apply". Your clocks are OK and your GPU use is about what I get at GPUGrid.  |

NVIDIA GPU 0: GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 (driver version 29573, CUDA version 4020, compute capability 2.0, 1280MB, 1428 GFLOPS peak) Nvidia driver 295.73 has some serious problems and I would encourage you not to use it. One of the big issues is that if you have your monitor set to go into sleep mode your GPU will stop crunching and you may not be able to recover from sleep mode without a reboot. I would recommend 290.53 or lower until Nvidia fixes the problems. Oh I never us the Sleep mode on my pc's, ALL of mine are crunchers! I will go to an earlier one today, I AM having heat issues anyway and need to od something, the gpu is running at 99C and 100% fan! The problem has been discussed on the Folding forum, and occurs when the monitor goes into sleep mode, not the PC. I run mine 24/7 also, but my GT 240 and GTX 560 Ti crash (or to be more precise, errors are introduced and a new work unit won't download) if the monitor goes into power-down (set for 15 minutes) while a work unit is in progress. The problem started with the 295 series of Nvidia drivers, and continues with the 296 drivers just released. But the 290.53 beta drivers (and earlier) are OK. Note that Folding uses the CUDA wrapper for the Nvidia cards, not OpenGL, but it looks like they both have the same problem. A couple of us have mentioned it on the Nvidia forums, but no reply yet on when it may be fixed. Proceed at your own risk. [Edit 1 times, last edit by Jim1348 at Mar 16, 2012 12:21:57 AM] |

Thanks DataMan! (again)
----------------------------------------I brought the fanspeed setting to 72 which brings the GPU temp to 62-64 and clicked on the Apply at Windows Startup. Looks good old friend. Thank You very much. That makes the fan a bit loud. Do you ever downclock the memory as per nanoprobe's suggestion? That sounds like something good to tinker with as well. PS nanoprobe. I am using the march 13 driver 296.10. Yep...this is kinda fun now that you and DataMan brought me in out of the cold.  ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by RT at Mar 16, 2012 12:30:34 AM] |

That makes the fan a bit loud. Do you ever downclock the memory as per nanoprobe's suggestion? That sounds like something good to tinker with as well. I was lost till you guys jumped in and helped. THANK YOU!! That's great. If you GPU you will be hearing a lot more fan ... Especially in a Texas summer  Nvidia cards are bad at managing temps as they really were not designed for the abuse we crunchers give them. You may want do drop the temp a bit more. I have one that has been running at 99% fan for two years. Oh yes, clicking on apply on startup will cause it to start with these settings, otherwise it will apply the defaults.Good to see it works. EDIT: No I have not downclocked one since the old 8800 GT days. Mine are slightly OC'ed. It is easy to OC with precision; if you screw up it just BSOD's and restarts with the factory default setting.

Question for the brilliant here:
----------------------------------------Say just for the sake of argument someone had one of these new Intel dualie E5-2687W systems with 2-GTX570 cards. Can both cards be made to work with the cpu's also running 32 threads with HT on? Just hypothetical of course..   |

Well I am not one of the brilliant but I see no reason that config would not work. Wish I had the $'s for 2 570"s. EDIT: You are planning to cool that with liquid N2, right?

@RT- I highly recommend you don't use the newest Nvidia drivers. They have issues that have yet to be addressed. 290.53 beta or earlier would be my suggestion.
----------------------------------------@Movieman I'm pretty new at this myself but it would be my educated guess that you'll need to free at least 1 CPU for each of your GPUs for them to run at their peak efficiency. Just hypothetically speaking that is. Wish I had the $'s for 2 570"s. Don't we all.
