Funny is I heared in '99 from the project... but almost forgot about it. That because I hadnt a strong machine and some other reasons. Then in '03 I build my 1st watercooled pc and on coincident a german sience tv show (3Sat) presented SETI@home in their Broadcast and that was the day where I signed up here =)

So I may oversatureted it =) nevermind. WOW event starts soon =D hope my RAC can climb a bit till then ^ ^ Cheers

13) Message boards : Number crunching : Cuda memory leak and freezes and other issues // lunatics 0.44 (Message 1808104) Posted 9 Aug 2016 by MajorTom Post: Stop using the iGPU and you'll very likely find that your problems will disappear. [Edit] Or try 2 less CPU tasks. Cheers. I think in short: YES Sir ^ ^ took a while.. now Im responding.. did some testing while using my old gtx580 and really when I stop using the iGPU the random freezing has disappeard an no crashes no more =) I tried it with less cpu tasks and lower iGPU clockspeed but that didnt helped. Very interessting BTW is that with the stock iGPU application it has the same behaviour like with the optimized one ;-) random freezes and crashing got now 2day finally my replacment for the faulty asus gtx970... right now Im burning it in... looks fine so far =D no rattling fan ^ ^ at least it is silent again =)

14) Message boards : Number crunching : Cuda memory leak and freezes and other issues // lunatics 0.44 (Message 1803961) Posted 21 Jul 2016 by MajorTom Post: No problem =D yeah temps might be an issue but I dont think its that on my case because I have the freezes on a cold day 2. And I dont gonna gonna flash the bios on my gpu because its almost brand new and I gonna have send it back due the ratteling cooling fan anyways. Got 2 day answer from my dealer and they tell me they will swap it out, hope this time it dont takes another 4 or 5 weeks... =/ like ther last 2 times but cool u found a solution 4 your issue =) thumb up

15) Message boards : Number crunching : Cuda memory leak and freezes and other issues // lunatics 0.44 (Message 1803954) Posted 21 Jul 2016 by MajorTom Post: 21.07.2016 13:19:59 | SETI@home | task postponed 30.000000 sec: but thats not from my log, cant find such an entry ;-) cant imagine its temp related. When I monitor the temps the gpu its always around 60°C.. gpu-z and hwmon are showing the same value, max peak on hot day 67°C, and when overheating its really the issue then why on earth the fan speed only ramps up only to 34% if its really just temperature, that would indicate missconstruction in the thermal design of the stock cooling, the gpu should handle the tasks trowing at without problems as long not OC.. so I dont see the issue there But yes ofc the gpu gets water in the future 2 =D but I dont gonna spend a gpu waterblock 4 that cheapo 970gtx, I rather wait til the 1080ti gonna hit the market. Anyhow the gpus should run fine on stock air cooling, thats the way u buy it and not with waterblock mounted.

Its like alot thinks I do... work in progress ^ ^ here some pics 4 general enlightenment =) Original Size http://i.imgur.com/nDs7xfr.jpg /// http://i.imgur.com/LPO2lUg.jpg

17) Message boards : Number crunching : Cuda memory leak and freezes and other issues // lunatics 0.44 (Message 1803704) Posted 20 Jul 2016 by MajorTom Post: =) yeah .... Its not my intention just to blame asus, I dont think all the issues I have are only the fault of asus quality. Ive rebuild the whole sys from scratch 4 times now, replaced almost every part, screw and cable. It cant be just asus, that would be just to simple. f.e. the cuda memory leaks I had with a msi 580gtx too, almost exactly the same way as the the asus behaved Its somethig really more complex and spohisticated, and I just dont get it '-.- ram clock and latency change from yesterday did not help at all. Had 2 crashes and one freeze meanwhile =/ and no indication why.

18) Message boards : Number crunching : Cuda memory leak and freezes and other issues // lunatics 0.44 (Message 1803479) Posted 19 Jul 2016 by MajorTom Post: @Jake that with the tdr delay I dont think a value like 10 makes really sense =) because its a hexadezimal value but I did the same as you and set it to 10 but its translated anyways to the value 16 at least in my reg. That with the command line I didnt looked into it for severall reasons. Maybe later on. @Richard Hasselgrove I dont think its has do with my issues, when I understand it correct its exclusive 2 win10, Im running win7, and when I monitor my memory usage its not growing overtime, its always about the same amount. But thx anyways =) ya never know. @topic I made now an other phone call, to discuss the return/warranty conditions, and again annoying as hell to talk with the dealer. But I cant live with the noise of the ratteling gfx fan =/ and they cant deliver a acceptable solution so far.

19) Message boards : Number crunching : Cuda memory leak and freezes and other issues // lunatics 0.44 (Message 1803444) Posted 19 Jul 2016 by MajorTom Post: until now I would said the same ^ ^ never ever had such probs with asus in the past. But that sabretooth z97 is a POS ;-) freezes in the bios, customer service is a bad joke.. no help from them at all. and that strix 970 has sent in 3 times and now I still have to consider give it back a 4rd time. I think it speaks 4 it self =( I demand satisfaction. Cant really recomend them nomore or at least both products from asus listed above. And warranty service and customer service from asus are like drinking cool-aid. The bad thing, the alternatives arent better =( or even worse then asus.

20) Message boards : Number crunching : Cuda memory leak and freezes and other issues // lunatics 0.44 (Message 1803440) Posted 19 Jul 2016 by MajorTom Post: So here whats Ive tested and Ive done so far =) but in short the issues are almost the same as before =( after changing the instances 6cpu 3nv 1 igpu, I had one freeze directly after loggin after waking up the screen and one BSOD code 116 gfx driver. Some occasional freezes usually after screen wake up. Done the trd delay tweak but still the have the freezes, no gfx driver crash or bsod so far. Tested some settings in BIOS, with pci-e dmi powermanagement enabled, the freezes occur alot more, so Ive disabled it again as it was in default, was just 4 testing. Now Ive setted the DRAM freq from 1866 to 1800 and turned up the cas lat from 9-11-11-31 to 10-12-12-32 and set dramV from auto(about 1.660) to 1.675v default would be 1.65v. As now no freezes... uptime now 12hrs... still evalutating... hurts 2 set the cl10 but it dont helps. Looks like the mainboard has problems under load with the cl9, that really sux because the ram is allrdy underclocked, and cl9 should be in the spcecs possible, ram model and vendor is written in the QVL with these specs, chipset should support it. An other thing Ive found out, one of the gfx fans is making a rattling noise... so maybe Ive to send in that bloody dang gfx card the 4rd time =( WTF asus Its a shame ASUS , asus shame on u, asus I cant recommend u nomore, poor quality control, poor service, poor documentation, faulty drivers and software. Mainboard and GFX card are from asus and both really are substandard, a bad value, both do not work as promised on the box, IMHO asus is a fraudulent company too... so beware.... normaly u are lucky but if not u are totally screwed over and have only problems with them and their products. So when Ive to send it again for warranty it dont makes alot sense 2 evaluate alot more. I will post an update when I know more ;-) thx folks 4 helping me
