I use Boinctasks for my remote systems and that tool does not report temperatures from Linux like it does for Windows.
For some time, I have been using BT and have configured several "rules" to send a text message to my phone
if it detacts a stuck task or temp too high. That was not possible on Linux until now.

I have a python script at https://github.com/JStateson/BoincTasks that runs as a service under systemd
and reports temperatures to boinctasks. If addtion, if the NVidia driver recommends a reboot to recover a "lost" GPU,
then that script sends a text message alerting me and turns off GPU usage on boinc.

Anyone is welcome to use this tool and suggestions for improvement would be nice. You may already be using an
excellent temperature checking and reporting program. This script allows temps to show up on the boinctask
display which is convenient for me.

Nice one. I am curious how many of you ever run into temperature problems... I use high air-flow case and so far haven't really seen any problem even with open air-cooling GPUs stacked next to each other. For all the years of gaming and running BOINC on and off, I've never had a GPU shutdown. I did have one card outright burn out in HTPC case two years ago, but it was a busted capacitor.

I've replaced 7 cards over the years. Most of those are due to burn out and were before the hybrids came out. Now I almost have all hybrids and that doesn't often as often as it used to.

Hi,

whenever I develop a new improved version of the software I run into temperature problems. I'm running on air and flying there in the vincinity of upper limits of cooling.

Some times it just happens that even though my system has been running OK for some hours a temperature catastrophe hits when I'm away from my computer. One of my GPUs goes south and does not recover. It will either run slow or rapidly destroy my work queue.

I could take a look at your solution.

I agree with Z, the hybrids are perfect for crunching. With them you could easily keep the temps within a safe range even on hot & high humidity places like the one i live.

The only problem i have with the hybrids is with their pumps, i had 2 of them fail about 1 per year. They are hard to find here but when changed all return to work fine.

Here is not humid nor warm. Still my GPUs go south. Or because of that.
