Hey,

I'm new, just joined today and wanted to try this out.
Now I've started a Project but it's barely using any of my resources...
Can I manually give it more?

I've got a GTX 1080 TI OC to 2GHz, 32GB 3200 MHz DDR4 RAM and a AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X OC to 4GHz.

Currently my PC is still bored and I want to change this and help projects.

Thanks ahead for your answers.

Hiya, i am no expert, but ye might add few more projects that use NVIDA and ye could also check preferences. As how your machine uses how much percentage of recourses.

Example: I have tower AMD Ryzen 7 1700 and ATI RX560 with currently over 10 projects, and pair of laptops with less projects.

Tower computer does not even have time to run all projects at same time, it runs as many tasks it can and dowload more as it empties old ones.

Hope this helps!

Happy crunching >>-> Konis13

DaNeubi -

For starters, go to the BOINC Manager, Options -> Computing Preferences

Under the Computing tab -

Set both usage limits to 100%

UNCHECK all the "When to suspend" boxes



Under the Disk and Memory tab -

Disk - UNCHECK everything

Memory - Make sure everything is 100% and Leave nonGPU in memory is CHECKED.



Then let us know how things are working

Now I've started a Project

It depends highly on which project you chose.
Not all projects use masses and masses of memory, for most of them that's not really needed either.

Do know that overclocking the CPU can introduce errors. If you see a lot of task err on the CPU, clock it down a notch, or try for its standard clock first.

Just because its overclocked does not mean it's unstable.

I said that overclocking can introduce errors, I never said anything about it being unstable. However, you cannot compare the use of the CPU or GPU between a game and a science application. The latter can require that the hardware used must be as much error free as possible. For instance, in a game you can drop one to more pixels on a GPU without it being noticeable, or drop one or more data transfers on the CPU which will cause a stutter, while the science application will then only throw errors.

Overclocking will also add more heat, and more heat can also mean more errors. Even the Turbo setting on CPUs, with which the manufacturers temporarily clock the CPU at a higher clock speed, can cause trouble.

So all I said was, that if you see a lot of errors, clock down to more normal levels. Or add better cooling. Or do both. .
