I have raised the voltage to 1.012V (from default 1.000V), so just one step, and in last 4-5 days I have not experianced any downclocks or error WUs (only three completed, marked as invalid WU, 160+ completed and verified WUs, and many still pending results).

So it seems that just the slight voltage increase could help. Seems that on my particular Gigabyte 560Ti-OC factory overclock was a bit overoptimistic in terms of GPU voltage needed for default 900MHz, 1.000V works fine in any game (even 920MHz is ok for games), but not ok for lunatic x38 app, which required at least 1.012V for my particular card/gpu on stock 900MHz.

1. Gigabyte GTX560Ti with Nvidia 275.33 drivers, Corsair HX750 PSU, MSI P67-GD65, i7-2600k, Win7x64 Home Premium,
2. x38g, 2 tasks in parallel (to improve efficiency)
3. downclocking from time to time, on average once to twice a day. About 2-3% of WUs finishes with error or completed mark as invalid, not sure is it card related or simply a WU nature. All WUs are processed on GPU.
4. up to 65C (really efficient windforce stock cooler)
5. default, 900Mhz GPU, 2000 MHz Memory. GPU vultage 1.00V
6. Adaptive
7. No.

Never ever had any kind of problem playing any game, and I am pretty sure I didn't experiance this with older version of lunatic app and 266.66 drivers (everything else was the same as above).

Wow, could they have made it more complicated?

Anyway, good to know the correct way... I was "killing" all apps and clients from task manager...

So far as I remember, if I close the client on "X" in upper right corner, client get minimized and continue working in background. That is OK.

But if I close it from the menu, i.e. "File->Exit", it should close completly and remove applications from memory. This does NOT work for me with 6.2.18, and it worked for earlier clients. I have boinc running as a service, if that helps troubleshooting the issue.

It looks like that HyperThreading (HT) Pentium4's are ALWAYS claiming less credit then other machines for the same workunit. Why? Is it maybe because of HT? It looks to me as a bug!
