Yeah ive been running it at medium power for almost a day now and i am in a super cold basement as well as the laptop just feels a little warm. Not anything thats super hot or wildly hot feeling.bruce wrote:Heat can ruin your laptop but you have a fan that's supposed to move that heat outside.
There are wus in your logs that are completing .. and some may not yet being counted due to a server issue .. I eould keep an eye on your log from here on and check each wu actually completes properly ... and errors from now on should be easier to troubleshoot ... there may still be things to sort out but trying to untangle your log to date is not particularly easy with the variety of pauses and configuration changes from what I can see ... and the other guy was me ... until the qrb kicks in at 10 WUs the estimates in the log will be overestimates !!Riehnbean wrote:JimboPalmer wrote:Here is a page to check your bonus

I know i have to get to 10 first but this is what it says and it says they are finishing. Your thoughts?

At first this was called Optimus, but is now called Max-Q, I think.

So you have two GPUs, but only one is active at a time. Worse, the Nvidia GPU is not swapped in until AFTER F@H tries to use it and fails.

In my ancient laptop it was a BIOS setting, more recently some have been able to constantly enable the Nvidia GPU in the Nvidia Control Panel. Some folders here have had some luck using MSI Afterburner and altering some setting then minimizing it. Apparently the Nvidia GPU is enable until you close Afterburner.
None of this is obvious or easy. but it is what you are up against, in my opinion.
By the way, you seem to have an older version of the Nvidia driver. This is a more recent version: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/results/170799/

Also i adjusted the configuration early on the code after that one should all be the same and not messed with. my most recent code post is what is happening now. I think its all working properly but i was just worried about it saying ill gain this much points, but then giving me a different amount instead.

I agree it would be amazing, but I have no current laptops with MAX-Q technology.

not sure how to post images here but am i looking for processor? or high performance power. because my high performance mode is already on and im plugged into a charger plugged into the wall so thats fine on battery power and if i go under graphics 3D i can select prefferred graphics processor which is currently on Global setting auto-select (intergrated) but i can switch that to high performance Nvidia processor. Again this is 3D settings which i dont think that is what im looking for.JimboPalmer wrote:I agree it would be amazing, but I have no current laptops with MAX-Q technology.

Investigate, but make no changes, Search the Nvidia Control Panel for a setting Power Management Mode and set that to that Prefer Maximum Performance. You hope to lock the Laptop to always use the Nvidia GPU* Take screenshots and we can advise you on what to change.
I searched YouTube for a video of the Nvidia Control Panel on Optimus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9wXMHSvssQ Check to see if you have a Preferred Graphics Processor setting and choose the Nvidia.
I hope this helps!
* This will make it noisier and reduce battery life, but it should not fold on Battery.

There are any number of them but the one I use most often is Speccy, it will measure CPU, Motherboard, GPU, and Disc temps if available.Riehnbean wrote: whats a good temp gauge program for a laptop?
