imm0rt41 Posted April 30, 2005 Posted April 30, 2005 Yeah, it has been somewhere near 6 or 8 months since I started folding, and I have completed 101 WUs. Sadly though, I think my temps are getting a bit too high for my liking so I may need to stop folding for the summer due to me living in the middle of the Arizona desert. It's brutal on temps even with A/C on in the house and at the moment I can't afford to upgrade this rig any longer. So what do you guys think I should do, push 50C daily on my OC 2500+ or just call it quits for the summer? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowfactor Posted April 30, 2005 Posted April 30, 2005 maybe lower the oc a bit to like 2.1 ?? 50 C isnt too bad that proc should be able to take atleast 60C Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC10281982B Posted April 30, 2005 Posted April 30, 2005 Lower your O/C Put the comp in the coolest part of the house Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
imm0rt41 Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 Well the problem is my room is actually the coldest spot in the house which is why I was concerned that it was getting that warm. My case hardyly breaks 30C, but the processor is way up there. I reapplied AS5 and it went down a bit, we'll see in the next few weeks. Either way, it's still folding Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 lol - 50*C - I'm running 11 CPUs in one room now all folding 24/7 and I don't have anything under 50*C! Personally, I wouldn't worry about running at that temp but it's your PC so do what you're confortable with. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazwegion Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 Lower the processor usage for [email protected] then you will notice a rapid decline in temperatures (and unfortunately WU output too ) Still... some is better than none! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
imm0rt41 Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 How would I go about limiting the processor usage for it? I would love to make it only use 75% CPU all the time instead of constantly keeping the usage at 100%. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oblivescence Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 to limit processor usage, start the console with the tag -config, or -configonly if you dont want the core to start running as soon as you are done configgin, and fill in all the information as you want all over again. somewhere in there is the percentage of processor to use, put in whatever you want, anywhere between 5 and 100 percent. oh, and close down folding before you do this, you dont want to risk folding the same WU in the same directory, bad things happen from what i understand. heres the link to stanfords directions and list of tags and whatnot. http://folding.stanford.edu/console-userguide.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cchalogamer Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 I would drop to 80% usage (actually 90% is prob. enough to keep it cool until later in the summer) and let it fold Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybergrunt69 Posted May 7, 2005 Posted May 7, 2005 I'm guessing that either a decreased overclock (or even underclock), plus a lower folding percentage will help out a lot. Maybe a few more fans couldn't hurt too... Thought about trying a water-cooled setup? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
imm0rt41 Posted May 7, 2005 Posted May 7, 2005 I have dropped my OC back to stock and all seems to be going pretty well though the temps are still in the 40sC. I will be going WC with my Athlon64 setup later this year, but for now this will have to last =/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crash Posted May 7, 2005 Posted May 7, 2005 I'm looking at my Asus AI window right now, my 2.93 is at 3505 and voltage uped to 1.400, running P95 and folding my CPU temp is 40C!!! SWEET!! If I were you I would see if your proccy will run stable at mobile voltage spec, 1.45? That would lower your temps ALOT What HS/fan are you using?
