DC and stress

[Acer_Sheep]

Is DC causing severe stress to computer? I have aging PC that works well, but it is only one I have, so I'm curious if constant DC may stress components so there is signifant chance in damaging them. I have FAH GPU and WCG CPU running. ty for help

Well yeah, either of those DC projects will eat up any extra cycles you give them so they will definitely stress your machine. Heat is the real enemy so if you can keep that in check while running these projects then your machine isn't really running much of a risk of being damaged.

Obviously it will put stress on your components. Will they fail? Not unless they were defective to begin with.

GPU is running at 85C and CPU 50-55, that isn't that bad while they are both under this load, temps /w case closed

CPU, lots of room to play with, A lot of us are pushing 70C or more,

GPU 85 is about the norm, I'd like to keep it about 10C cooler if possible, but 85 is no danger zone.

I like cruising at 100*C

I folded 24/7 on my Q6600 for 4 years without a hiccup. Once I get a new graphics card for it, I'll start it folding again along with that GPU. I'm now rocking a 2600K in the main box

it depends on the processor.. if you are using that x2 6000+ you are within the limits.. if its a windsor 90nm core then the recommended max temp is 69C if its the brisbane version that came out way later then its good up to 72C. if you are using that 5670 to fold, i'd recommend turning the gpu client off. you are probably losing more points with it running then you are getting with it running. it will also keep the temps down on the system.


and people.. this is why you read other peoples signatures if they have their system posted in it before posting, since 90% of the information you gave only effects intel users. which obviously hes not running.

Ok, so you recommend me to run either WCG and FAH on CPU only? And it is a Windsor CPU.

 

[sirmonkey1985]

the current ATI client openCL and old brook client still use a lot of cpu cycles so it steal's performance from the SMP client. you can try running F@H without the openCL client and see what your total systems PPD is and run it with the OpenCL client and see what the total PPD of the system is.

yes, F@H or WCG would be the biggest benefit on the system. WCG probably a bit more, since it wont make a whole lot of head way on F@H, i run a 5000+ X2 BE on WCG 24/7 and it does very well for that task

 

[Acer_Sheep]

Good, I want to run both projects in same time, my PPD on GPU is 400, when I finish this WU I'm going to open CPU version and update PPD here

not a good idea, best choice would be to choose either WCG or F@H to run, not both at the same time

is it very much affecting the computation speed or something?

yes, by running both projects at the same time, you will pretty much make them both go at a slow crawl.....if you want to do both, maybe do one, one week, and the other the next and so on and so forth

 

[Acer_Sheep]

ok, I will do it this way, thanks for replies
