1) Questions and Answers : Windows : Can't add tasks on BOINC 7.20.2 (Message 8470) Posted 2 May 2023 by farmaceuta Post: Hey Link, It's always mounted on the top of the case, but the new case has space for a second fan put horizontally. I use Artic MX-4. Might be fake. What temperatures do you have? I think it's fine the pump is not that heavy compared to ordinary coolers. I can't find any adaptor for MaelStrom 240T. Okay, I changed it to 100%. No sound on the pomp. Do you use GridCoin?
2) Questions and Answers : Windows : Can't add tasks on BOINC 7.20.2 (Message 8465) Posted 27 Apr 2023 by farmaceuta Post: Thank you for your reply. I have some updates that may be useful for other members: Is there enough air flow in the case? Are the fans spinning too slow perhaps? I recently upgraded my PC by switching to a modern PC case (which, by the way, I found that some no-name cases and branded cases look exactly the same but have different prices) and adjusting my watercooler fans to be horizontal from vertical due to lack of space. I also learned about thermal paste and used a high-quality grease (hoping it's not fake) that stays dry at low temperatures and becomes liquid at high temperatures. I used also some old thermal paste as well to ensure there were no gaps on the CPU. AMD's density scale goes as deep as 7nm, making it difficult to cool quickly, but it remains stable up to 85C(185F). The only issue is that there's no proper mount for the AM4, and I can't find an adapter anymore, so it's only connected by two screws. However, the final effect is that it's now maxing out at a stable 72C (161.6F) with limits set at 90% and 95% of the time processor, instead of 80-84C(184F). Is there enough water in the cooling system and is it mounted properly? I'm not entirely sure, but the pipes for my water cooling system are still very difficult to squeeze. Sometimes I miss the days when my water cooling system took up some space and looked like a small aquarium. Regarding my graphics card, I'm still using the Nvidia GTX 2060, which has been very helpful for video processing. It can process 4K clips in just 40 seconds instead of 40 minutes when only using the CPU. I'm considering upgrading to the Intel ARC 770, but it's currently expensive compared to its performance. Does anyone have experience with Intel cards nowadays?"
3) Questions and Answers : Windows : Can't add tasks on BOINC 7.20.2 (Message 8444) Posted 15 Apr 2023 by farmaceuta Post: Hi there, I'm facing some difficulties in joining tasks on Moowrap. I'm not sure why this is happening, as the forums appear to be active. It's possible that there could be an issue with my PC or my firewall, although other BOINC projects are running smoothly. I can see tasks ready to send: 3564, so the server is running. In addition, I have an AMD Ryzen 5 5600G (full spec) processor with processing limits set at 70% and 95% time, Win11 64-bit. Despite these limits, the processor is still running during my workload, and I'm concerned about the high temperature of 76C (168.8F). Can you please share your experience with temperature management? I've invested in some expensive blue thermal paste, but it's hard and sticky on the CPU. Additionally, I'm using outdated 2-fan water cooling. Thank you in advance for your support!
