Hey Everyone,

I have been out of the game for quite a while, but enjoy turning on the old machine once in a while to get things going.

I can't help but notice that I have anywhere from a 5-8% invalid percentage, which bums me out.

My invalid tasks usually have an outcome of -9 result_overflow. Is there anything obvious I can do to reduce the number of invalids?

Thank you in advance for your time!

One of the most common causes of overflows is the GPU is running too hot - check for dust clogging the fan(s), cooling fins etc.

Overclocking is also a common source of invalids.
