1.S... U is definitely running one HOT crunching mama...!!! :flame:Quote:
The max temp for the GPU is 105C and my VRM temps are 85C and 65C according to GPUz. I put another fan on it and I'll see if that lowers my temps a bit.

91C is the highest I run it at; It's a trooper. It's down to 80C now.Quote:

U is definitely "making hay while the ATI_hcc sun shines"... :D
Actually the server has chomped through a big chunk of pv's today, for me at least & I've also had near 100% uptime on my hosts recently which helps :D
This may explain why my rig's PV pages went up by 40 to 60 pages today....Quote:

How much trouble is it to run Linux with ATI or is it to large a PITA to bother?Quote:

I'd like to get my feet wet so I'll be ready when the next WCG GPU project comes along. I can practice on POEM in the mean time. What's the best way to get started?Quote:

From what little I've read seems like Ubuntu might be he easiest to work with. I actually ran the Dotsch version with BOINC as part of the install package on USB drives a while back. They were pretty much set and forget but they were for CPU crunching only and didn't work when the IB CPUs and mobos came out. I'll look at the Linux thread. I keep hearing getting the video drivers to work is the biggest issue with ATI cards.Quote:

The first installation I did on Linux Mint 14 Cinnamon(64 bit) was a little hard for me because I knew zero about linux. Once I got the hang of it it got easier the 2nd time. I just installed it the 3rd machine and it was easy as pie, though that time I didn't install for GPU crunching.(Although I did forget to change the machine profile in my WCG profile for a couple of hours).Quote:

You mean this thread? http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...all-and-forgetQuote:

Yep that's the one. I guess I was thinking if there was a more simplified protocol for installation, along with some notes like, you can do this or this at each step, that might be more helpful than trying to scroll through and digest a whole thread. Your simplified steps at page 5 or 6? ended up working well on my last installation. But I did know where to download BOINC and how to install it. On the first attempt I didn't understand anything about Linux, so I didn't even know how to mark the BOINC program for installation.Quote:

The GPU project is finishing right on time with the rising external temperatures. We are at over 20 deg Celsius here. Finally spring is here. It was a long long winter.
I am near the target of rank 15th. Should happen in two days. After that the big crunching season will be over until next winter. It was a hell of a ride. :up:
WTF SAM? Over TWO MILLION BIONC in 24 hours? Dafuq dude, dafuq :rofl:
Yesterday I reached #13 based on daily numbers :) Finally resolved issues - had to disable Xfire, otherwise it produced errors and stuck WUs... I have one more GPU :rolleyes:, maybe if I add it, I'll make it into the pie :)
