Welcome Faxon & Norm

 

[faxon]

glad to be here guys. having a little bit of trouble with the BOINC client, is there an easy way to set it so that SETI gets all of my CPU time while milkyway only runs GPU work units? i couldnt care less about my milkyway cpu work units since my 5870s are obliterating them no problem (just passed dajeepster as highest RAC on the team ), but as it is now milkyway is still getting 50% of my cpu timeshare as well. running BOINC version 6.10.18 if that helps

Welcome!

Faxon, in your milkyway preferences, there's lines for running CPU, ATI GPU, and NVIDIA GPU. Just say no to CPU and yes to the others. There should be something similar in SETI preferences; just reverse your settings there.

So we come to you when we are addicted? Or when are aren't addicted? Or addicted and not producing stats? Or not doing the stats?

Oiy. I'm confused, and need a psychiatrist. LOL.

wow no wonder i didnt find it, i was looking in the software GUI for those options LMAO. would never have found that if you didnt show me . also, looks like i can use this spare 8800GT i have lying around for seti if i want to. how long does it take to complete a work unit on an 8800GT vs a core 2 quad? the 8800GT i have is also single slot, should i be worried about it overheating if i leave it going like that 24/7 with a bunch of 120mm fans (enermax magmas, in a 690 II advanced)? i could just get an Accelero S1 if i really need to

crank your fans up on your gpus... for the ati cards, i just use the catalyst control.. but for the nVidia cards, i use RivaTuner.

it looks like an 8800GT does a wu in about 25 min. or 4-5 wu every 2 hours.
My q6600 @ 3Ghz. does 4 wu in about 2 hours.

Nice o/c on the QX9650 , I'm jealous . What cooling & temps do you have?
Btw how come your RAM is so underclocked?

maybe he chose the wrong ratio for the memory..

 

[Assimilator1]

I would guess the next ratio's too high for his RAM?

That's the problem I had with the 417MHz FSB setting, although my RAM was only underclocked by 20MHz so I didn't worry about it. I only downclocked intially because the CPU was getting too hot. Ironically I may end up with a slightly faster setup .
