New Folding/Crunching Rig

[crazyhorsejohnny]

Well, I finally got it all set up on my test bench - Q9550 and 2x EVGA 9600 GSOs. A little dissappointed because looks like I have 2 stuck sensors on the Q9550. One stays at 37 and the other 40. They moved off that when I was doing Prime95 and Rosetta at same time but always go back to 37 and 40 when idle. I stressed it for 24hrs+ and no errors in Prime95 and it crunched Rosetta no problem. So I just have to decide if I feel comfortable folding/crunching 24/7 with this Q9550.

As for the 9600 GSOs I started folding late last night but it was pretty late so I didn't get a chance to set up the 2nd GPU so I folded on only 1x over the night. Now I'm all set. Could someone point me in the right direction on how to set up my 2nd 9600 GSO ? Thanks in advance.

Don't worry at all about the stuck sensors. What matters are load temps.

2nd GPU? Folding@home - WinGPUGuide Read this, and about 3/4 down the page is a section for multi-GPU installation.

Which board are you using?

I used that exact guide for my 275's and it works fine. You have to pay attention to all the quotation marks, spacing, numbering and priority/affinity settings. Every once in a while one of my gpu's will start folding at 1/2 the rate they are capable of, so far a reboot has always cured that.

If your other two sensors are working, just make sure temps stay below like 65C. The other 2 cores with the faulty sensor can't be hitting 80C while the other two are at just 65C.

The sensors aren't faulty, they just don't go below a certain point. All four will work fine as they approach Tjmax, which is when it's actually important for them to be accurate.
