Returning to F@H
Posted: Fri Dec 19, 2014 3:44 am
Hello all! I'm returning to F@H! I bought a new Alienware Area-51 from Dell primarily for F@H but I might do some gaming with it too. I didn't want to bother building it and now I have support if something goes wrong: even though it cost me extra!
Probably most notably it looks like I'm stuck in the situation documented here with the Maxwell cards and OpenCL: https://forums.geforce.com/default/topi ... ver-bug/1/
I posted in that forum and also here to try and make some progress on that front:
viewtopic.php?f=16&t=26980&p=272269#p272269
The Core 18s are only estimated at 80K PPD.
It looks like a new web control was introduced since I last used F@H. Personally I'd prefer to use the original version 7 FAHControl as I couldn't see anything that the web control allowed me to do beyond what I can already do in the FAHControl. So I think it was safe for me to remove that Client Option.
I think it might make sense for my system to participate in Beta or Advanced but I want to get some feedback. I'm pretty good at reviewing my log files for "Warnings & Errors".
It looks like the install automatically withheld 3 of my "CPUs" from my CPU slot for running the GPUs because it says CPU:9 but I want to confirm. I get a small PPD increase on my GPU slots when pausing the CPU slot so it might be throttling it a bit. (approx 270K to 290K PPD on my Core 17 9201 project) My GPU temp is being held at 80C so I think that might also be limiting their performance some.
Here is my log, please review for any improvement considerations:
Anything else I should be aware of?
Thanks!
- Windows 8.1 Pro, 64Bit
Intel Core i7-5930K Processor (6-cores, 15MB Cache, Overclocked up to 3.9 GHz w/ Turbo Boost) (F@H says I have 12 CPU's)
Triple NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 graphics with 12GB total (3x 4GB) GDDR5 -NVIDIA SLI Enabled (came disabled which is what I wanted!)
32GB Quad Channel DDR4 at 2133MHz
512GB SSD 6Gb/s Main + 4TB 6kRPM SATA 6Gb/s Storage
Alienware 1500 Watt Multi-GPU Approved Power Supply
