Hi all, i just installed seti for home today since i figured that i could just as well use all that compute power for something good while im just browsing, reading the news and such. I got a vega 56, which is a quite capable compute card and i was wondering if there was a way to auto suspend when opening a game? Also, is there any way to limit the gpu to around 33% to keep it cool enough to not turn on the fan? i've reduced power limit to 50% in driver and undervolted the card, but it's still sitting a bit too high. hope someone can help, so i can participate without too much hassle :) |

Make sure you Add the game's exe and not just the start up. Also, is there any way to limit the gpu to around 33% to keep it cool enough to not turn on the fan? i've reduced power limit to 50% in driver and undervolted the card, but it's still sitting a bit too high. Not that I know of. |

Hi Nick, Thanks for your reply, i look into that. I might disable my cpu in boinc instead and run of the gpu only, since that seems a lot more efficient. It takes about 2 hours to finish a block on a cpu thread and about 10min. on the gpu. Ofcourse the cpu is running 12 threads simultaniously, but still. |

Search with Google a software Efmer TThrottle. You can set the limit temperature for GPU and CPU. The software will throttle the Boinc programs to keep that temperature. ![]() |

You can get both BoincTasks and TThrottle at Fred's web site https://efmer.com/ |
