Just installed/signed up for MW@home, on one of my refurbished Q9300 @ 3.0Ghz rigs, with a HD4850 card installed.
Wonder how well the points will rack up with one of those video cards?
That rig is running ONLY MW@home.
Edit: I busted out GPU-Z to monitor temps. They are running 83-85C. Is that too high? Fan speed is 34-40%.
Edit: Unlocked CCC Overdrive tab so I could manually adjust fan speed.
First I tried 66% fan speed, and it sounded like a blender. Temps went down from 84C to 70C.
I then adjusted it to 50% fan speed (4800-5000RPM), and then it was much quieter. Temps still around 70C.
Who knew that the fans on these cards could go to like 9000RPM?
