The ambient temp is not room temp its some other card temperature.
Try speeding up the fans with whichever OC'ing program you prefer.

I'm getting a ton of comp errors on my cuda's so I decided to uninstall everything (boinc & unified installer). After uninstall, I noticed I still had the \programData\BOINC\ folder, so I deleted that too. I'm ready to try this again, and want to make sure I'm doing this right.
Running Vista Ultimate x64, e6700, 2x MSI GTX260's. 4gb RAM
Currently:
- Nvidia driver 190.38 installed
- SLI disabled
- Downloaded & installed 2.3 Cuda Driver from nvidia.com for Vista x64
- Downloaded & installed BOINC 6.6.36 (all default options)
I'm running boinc currently on the default settings. At this point to get up and running on the unified installer, I believe I have to perform the following correct?
1. Download Lunatics_Win64v0.2_(SSE3+)_AP505r168_AKv8bx64_CudaV12.exe
2. Install it (I only want to run cuda units)
- Selecting only: Enable processing Multibeam tasks on nvidia cuda gpu (6.08) option
- Default destination folder
3. Download the 2.3 Cuda DLL's from this site (cudart.dll & cufft.dll) and place them in the C:\ProgramData\BOINC\projects\setiathome.berkeley.edu folder
4. Restart BOINC and done?

0. Make sure stock CUDA app running OK on your host, it's required step.
1. your 1.
2. your 2.
2a. check that boinc stopped.
3.your 3 (all downloads can be done before actually ;) , but DLLs should be replaced when BOINC is stopped)
4. start BOINC, not restart it (cause it should be stopped on prev stage).

I have to say "Thanks" again. The latest KWSN mods and Nvidia drivers have had quite the effect on my RAC which was on the order 13,500 a week ago. Now its 19,000 with (so far) constant slope. No sign of leveling yet. Where it stops, nobody knows!
Thanks

Thanks for me too.
Last week I realized that I was using CUDA 2.2 on my 8800GTS SLI setup.
Now RAC went 60%+ and time for every DU dropped to 4 mins for the quick dus and 22 mins for the big ones.
