I was still in windows thinking mode and forgot about terminal. I was able to install boinc through the terminal. Thanks

Hello everyone,

Just installed ubuntu after using DBAN on my old windows laptop. Downloaded BOINC version 7.4.22 for Linux. Getting an error in text editor when trying to install. I do not have much experience with Linux. The error is saying that the file has some invalid characters. I am not sure what to do. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Jrich

I downloaded afterburner and adjusted the fan settings, but left power consumption the same. It has been 6/7 hours now and no coil whine.

Thank you for the tip.

Hello Everyone,

Just built a new computer with a MSI 1660 Super and after doing some quick research online I believe my GPU has coil whine. It is a very high pitched noise coming from the GPU, it stops instantly if I halt the project in boinc using the GPU. Sometimes the GPU will be fine under 95% load, and others the whine will start up at 40% load. I am using Open Hardware Monitor.

From what I can find online there does not seem to be much I can do other than reach out to the manufacturer about a possible replacement. Has anyone experienced coil whine and or have any tips?

Thanks,

Do you feel that running the CPU at 85C for extended periods is okay? Would you suggest I try to lover those temps with additional case fans or aftermarket CPU cooler?

Hello Everyone,

Just finished a new pc build and installed BOINC to start running Rosetta@Home. I wanted to check the cpu and gpu temps so I installed Open Hardware Monitor.

BOINC 7.16.5 on WIndows 10
AMD Ryzen 5 1600 AF using the stock cooler.
Nividia 1660 super

While running Rosetta on 100% of the CPUs I was getting temps around 86 C. Looking at AMD it states the cpu's max temp is 95 C but just about everything I have read on various forums suggest that 86 C is pretty high. I then then ran Einstein@Home on 100% of the CPUs and the max temperature is 65 C. Watching the open hardware monitor software while BOINC is running shows that for both projects the CPUs are running at 100%. The GPU under Einstein does run warmer than Rosetta, I guess I am just surprised that while both run the CPU at 100%, there can be a 20 C difference in temperature. Anyone have any thoughts on the large temperature difference?

Thanks,
jrich

Hello everyone,

I am planning on building my first PC soon that will be used for gaming, everyday use and running BOINC. My plan is to buy a gtx 1660 super with the intent on upgrading later if I need it. The 1660 will be running boinc projects full time when I am not gaming. If and when I upgrade, I would like to keep the 1660 super as a dedicated gpu that runs boinc. Does anyone have any experience or suggestions on running two gpus? Would it be wise to buy a power supply unit now with the extra wattage to cover powering both gpus in the future? Since I plan on running the gpus full time would it be worth spending the extra money upfront to get an 80+ gold power supply vs just an 80+?

Does anyone have any suggestions on Nvidia vs AMD gpus for running boinc projects?

Thanks,
jrich
