OK, Jord I understand. I guess I'll jump into the waters and join github. I have a few pet peeves that have bugged me from the beginning that make using BOINC very difficult.

Hey rick, your penta nano and perhaps now, hexa nano system was once on an AM3+ gigabyte 990fx-UD5 mobo. I have a 990fx-UD3 mobo and I'm trying to hook up at least 5 cards to it using pcie x1 risers and there is nothing in the bios that allows me to change the pcie bandwidth of each slot or the generation of pcie. I checked each pcie riser and each one worked. How did you get so many GPUs to be recognized on that mobo?

On the UD5 MB, I did not have to change any BIOS setting changes to get all 5 Nano's working. On Ryzen with C6H, I had to change a setting that made all of the x1 and the x4 act in x1, else the 3 x1 slots would not be active. But UD5 was easier...after AMD fixed the drivers for more than 4 GPUs. Not sure if UD3 is different, but these MB's have much simplified BIOS settings compared to Asus gaming MB.

Isn't there a molex connector on the UD5 that is located near the 24 pin to supply extra power to the PCIe slots? Seem to remember something like that..

Maybe, I can check when I get home, but I definitely didn't use it on this MB with 5 Nano cards or on my X99-e-10G WS MB where I had 3 ProDuos. I relied only on the power from the PSU to GPU power connectors. Even running with a +10% power limit on my Nano's, there is no issue.

I just analyzed that host with my script and it showed
Hawaii (Anonymous)
    1004 Credit / Hour
     57% Core / Task

How many tasks are you running concurrently on that card? I can't tell from the stdout.

I just moved to a new host a few days ago, so new host is Nemesis2 Now running with Threadripper 1950X. I am having lots of problems right now, maybe due to running non-activated Win10. It is getting errors during install and every time I quit BOINC manager, I lose GPU tasks. Not sure if it is related to Win10 install. So now, tasks are taking a very long time. I am only running 1 at a time.

I am travelling to the US in a few days and will pick up a 960Pro while there. Sucks that I can get one here. I will stop GPU processing on this system until get back in 2 weeks and get things setup properly.
