Speaking of stress tests...

Don't forget that BOINC, with a GPU or not, is a very good stress test for your own machines. Today being an unusually warm day in Chicagoland, I just checked the CPU temperature on my main cruncher. Holy hell, it was running at 95°C with an ambient room temperature of about 84°F/29°C. Blowing out the dust brought that down to a much more reasonable 75°C, much more reasonable for a mildly overclocked Ryzen 7 1700 running full-bore with a stock cooler in a hot room. It's still too early for me to be turning on the air conditioning.

The GPU didn't seem to get any cooler, but its fans tend to loaf even with a GPU unit crunching. In my opinion, EVGA did a beautiful job with this card. It's running at about 62-67°C with the fan at 16% according to nvidia-smi.

Re: Speaking of stress tests...

Yeah, I'll be cleaning my PC in May. Ryzen 1400 at 3.2 Ghz, no boost clock and undervolted. Running at around 75 celsius under 100%. Not bad but it ran at 45 Celsius for about a month when I build it. Probably needs some paste in addition to the dust clean.

Just as a followup, today's weather is much more seasonable, and the CPU was at about 65°C this morning. Blowing out that dust was absolutely worthwhile.

Re: Speaking of stress tests...

I had a FX 8320 machine that the CPU fan on a Hyper 212 EVO failed after 5+years running 100% 24/7. Replaced it with a Scythe Mugen 5 and it dropped the temps from 55+ to 41 degrees C. Nice! Highly recommended and easy to install.
