Does everyone else running primegrid on their ati cards get a full core of cpu usage per gpu. Im checking out now if it affects the time iv already noticed gpu usage seems normal between 90-97% if you force all the gpus to 1 core or not. If it works right i will post the program im using and how to do it.

Locking it to 1 core does not affect the time it seems and lowers the cpu temps and lets you use more cpu cores for other stuff iv uploaded the winafc with the file to limit it to one core for those that have issues. What iv done is i put the folder of winafc in like C:\\ and i made a shortcut of WinAFC.exe and put it in startup so it will work for you even if you forget to load it.

95-97% gpu
4-7% cpu

 

[Bal3Wolf]

wierd so you dont have it eating up a full core for each gpu.

 

[grunion]

Correct

i only see 1 of your 5870s working tho does same thing on darkryders computer with a 5970 uses 1 full core for each gpu.

That's my single card box.
So you think it only happens with multiples?

 

[Bal3Wolf]

very possable then cause it will eat me to death if i dont limit it. But unlike when you limit folding to one core the gpu usage does not drop.

When I finish these fah units I'll run pg on my cfx box, I'll post results.

 

[grunion]

Same for me

nope. might take 5-10% at most total. doesnt use much cpu time. it just says it does.

Check out this crunching orgy

[DarkRyder]

lol. whatcha got that 2500k clocked to?

I need to get a 2600k, think I'll do that this week.

 

[DarkRyder]

nice. im running 4600 myself. 8 threads tho

Its got to be worth it for crunching, right?

 

[DarkRyder]

oh yeah. guess what.... Bal3wolf just blew his psu.

 

[DarkRyder]

Matt: my psu blew
DarkRyder: what
Matt: melted its atx connnector
DarkRyder: dear lord
DarkRyder: howd that happen
DarkRyder: what are you on now ?

 

[DarkRyder]

Matt: its working sorta im powering my motheroard pump and 5970 off my old enermax 460 and the seasonc is powering my other stuff 5870 unhooked
DarkRyder: ah
DarkRyder: that sucks man, im sorry

 

[grunion]

Well look what the heck he was running on it, and the overclocks at that.

Shame though, how long will he be down?
Has he ever got a kill a watt reading under load?
Right now I'm at 672w steady.

 

[DarkRyder]

care to lend me that kill a watt meter for a bit?
