New issue has risen!!

[GIXXERGUY6]

new card BFG9800GTX+ OC has worked great stock is 760/1886/1125 I set it at 740/1998/1100 and it's completed about 50 units since I got it.

Now I have this issue[21:40:05]

and I don't know if it is the WU or not. I haven't restarted or changed drivers yet because the XFX9800GTX+ is still working away and having no real issues.

Someone help I am down a GPU :(

p6600 to p6604 are new, so it could be the WU. One instant U_M doesn't cost you but a few seconds. It's when you go into 24 hour shutdown that you've got a problem.

oh no I seen 3 24hr shut downs even after restarting the client. I went back to 195.81 and we'll see what happens.

are you running in SLI? i turned my sli off on my 295. and i havnt had a problem with GPU since.

just curious, why you have the Core clock on so high?
I dont think it's a factor at all.
what is the temp when you fold those new WUs?

my temps stay around 65-70 for GPU0 which is XFX and 52-60 for BFG

the core clocks are stock clocks. BFG is OEM OC'd.

[GIXXERGUY6]

the BFG is working on a 6602 and is 19% done so far
the XFX is working on a 6604 and is 48% done so far

The only thing on the gpu I even try to OC is the shaders, everything else is stock.

[the_cultie]

I got some of those 66xx units and its given me 5 errors while I was at work so not my gpu is down for 24hrs. My day just keeps getting worse. Is there any way I can get my gpu folding quicker? I havnt changed any drivers or settings on my card. I've been folding for 1 year now with the same oc :mad:

[Mark620]

cultie,

Clean the HS&F if that does not fix it then:
Card is getting worn out.
Performance degrades over time.
back it off one step...

[the_cultie]

I got it folding again. I restarted the PC (was artifacting in game), deleted the work folder, log and queue.dat file and away it went. Has folded a few of them 66xx units no problem. As for temps they never go above 35°C, water cooled and I actually cleaned my radiator on Sunday. Will see how it goes before I reduce the OC. At least I'm folding again :)
