SETI MB CUDA for Linux

<< < (95/162) > >>

pp:
I ran 6.9.0 too for a while and I think it suffered from the on_frac bug. The branch was never tagged and was only available on trunk for a while. 6.10.x has fixed that bug but probably introduced a few more...

ill try upgrading boinc this week.. doesn't seem to be any rush with the server probs seti is having. most of my servers have run out of work anyway

water cooling makes some sense but do they make plates that cover all the chips that get contact from the stock cooler? jeeze on my tesla and gtx285  it is almost every chip that has a thermal pad attached with only the gpu actually getting any thermal grease. with the varying depths of the different chips the thermal plate would have to be custom made for each card like the stock plate is. do they actually make custom ones for each card? i have had thoughts of water cooling for some time especialy since my case is made for it but the seeming complication of cooling the gpus properly has held me back.

GPUs under water.

@riofl: is that ^ e.g. what you are looking for ?

riofl:
sure is! thank you!

now all i have to do is figure out what cooling systems are decent / good / great and compare prices and performance. being in florida i have a lot of higher ambient temps to contend with so the radiator will have to be very efficient. my only true concern is ultra high reliability. the systems run 24/7 and my workstation which is the biggest heat generator is an absolute must to remain up at all costs (every minute it is down i cannot work).

should be an interesting adventure .. never delved into water cooling before, always used good fans and matched air flow for best heat transfers and that always worked fine for me... this will be different. :)

(hmm maybe a freon based system is worth looking into? )

well, i know one thing i will not be getting anytime soon. pcie expansion cabinet. those puppies are massively expensive! i could buy a 295 and a 285 for the price of the cheapest one i found! cant see it.. no reason for that kind of price gouging except for the fact its a 'niche' and they can do it. damn greed. doubt there is more than $50 actual  mfg cost in there.

was thinking of getting a 4 device expansion cabinet to deal with heat and power separately and save the added expenses of big mobos.

if i could find the individual interfaces i could convert an old minitower.
