The A2000 is listed on the latest GPUS.txt. https://apps.foldingathome.org/GPUs.txt Looks like it was added fairly recently, since it is not listed on the GPUS.txt on any of my machines. @NBrock if it is not listed in your GPUS.txt, then you should replace your GPUS.txt with the latest.

If you raise the power limit to max, it should just go there without doing anything special. On Linux I just used nvidia-smi (command line tool) to set the power limit to 500W. You should be able to do the same thing on Windows, if you find that you can't bump the power limit up to max. I think nvidia-smi is now in the default $PATH on Windows 10, so you should just be able to open an elevated command prompt and then set the power limit with the below command. nvidia-smi -pl 500 Here are a few BIOS for the 980 KPE, the Classified Voltage Controller (software voltage control, either version should work, but 2.1.0 might have been for 780ti), and an old version of Precision X. Precision X will read the actual voltage on KPE cards and you can also use kboost to lock the card to the P0 power state. You might not get too far without going cold. Maxwell voltage doesn't really start scaling until you get the temps way down, but you should be able to push it further than where you are at right now.

Is the power limit set at 450W, and just not pulling that much power, or are you unable to set the max power limit? My 980 KPE will push quite a bit of power (more than 250W) without issue depending on the work load. It's been a bit since I messed around with it in Windows, but I am pretty sure I have an xoc bios and the classified voltage tool. I'll see what I have in my notes for the 980 KPE when I get home this evening.

For whatever reason the CPU-Z bench is unaffected, it also doesn't care what priority is set. For Cinebench R11.5/15/20/23 the above is always worth a few more points.

copyright tictoc Running Linux kernel 5.15.13 with ROCm 4.0. *Edit* Memory OC for Fiji was removed from the Windows drivers many years ago, but this is Linux, so a little kernel hacking will fix that right up.

Here is a proper run not with WINE or on a VM. Since I was already rebooting to run Windows, I gave the 3960X a little more juice. 4550MHz all-core OC. Memory is pretty average running 8x 16GB of ECC UDIMMs at 3200, but I'm not sure if the CPU-Z bench even cares about memory.

I lost a bit of time with some failed WUs yesterday trying to see if the Fury X could magically run at higher clocks after sitting on the sidelines for about 4 years. The answer to that question was a big NO! The only tuning left would be to bump the memory up a bit, but the ppd gain compared to the down time is probably not worth it.

Maybe I'll boot into Windows later and do a proper run, but here's an unoptimized Windows 10 VM, running on a mostly idle host.

Looks like 3x 1m. https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Custom-Cooling/Tubing/hydro-x-hardline-tubing-14-config/p/CX-9059010-WW#tab-package-contents

Back up and running. I just remebered that I had a spicy BIOS flashed to the second slot on my Fury X, so now I am running that and slowly increasing the clocks a bit. I also forgot just how good of a clocker this card is relative to other Fiji GPUs.

All of my QD3s are 4 years old or older. I wouldn't worry too much about my recent experience. I used to run a bunch of the QD3s without issue, and I sold all of my other ones when I was getting rid of a bunch of unused fittings a few years back. While I'm here, here's a run of the CPU-Z bench in Linux via wine. Multi-thread bench is a little bugged with CPU usage topped out at 68%.

I have a few that stick open and one with a slow drip, which is why I currently don't have any on the main bench. Using CPC QDC's on my main machine and on the testing bench, and they have performed flawlessly.

You should be able to do this all from the command line without too many issues. Can you post your current working xorg.conf ?

I'll be back up and running later today. The 2080S and a Fury-X are currently on the bench, and I'm just giving everything a bit of a cleaning with some Blitz Part 2. @BWG I'll let you know if I'll still be temping in a slot. I have a few messages out, but so far no replies. ;)

No points from me to finish out December, since the year ended with an extended power outage. There must still be some blown transformers or downed lines, because the power is kind of back now at 90-95v.

Missed the bot on this one. Nice to see you here @LarsL.

I'm looking to swap out the Radeon VII for either an R9-290 or a Fury-X. I'll let @BWG know when/if I make the switch. Now that I pulled my server board off my main bench, the 2080 and whatever AMD GPU I end up going with, will be under water for January.

Very nice. Did you have all those cards OC'd? Your ppd is not much less than than my ppm.

Small update. Pumps installed, and tubing ran for everything except for pump->CPU and GPU->radiator. Not sure if I want to keep the drain on the pump inlet or swap it to the outlet. Either way, there will be some tipping/flippiing of the case in order to get the CPU and GPUs drained for the inevitable GPU swap out. Looking to pull the machine off my test bench later today. Then I'll crack open the CPU/GPU blocks and give them a good cleaning. After that I'll get the system installed into the case, leak test it, and then give it a final clean and flush with Blitz Part 2. I might actually have this thing up and running in the next couple of days.

1 Billion for EHW.

Maybe just bad luck on the pumps. Both of my test benches have D5s mounted vertically using the EK fan mounting bracket. One is an older EK combo unit that is basically the same as what you have, and the other has an EK top with a male-male fitting attaching the pump top to the reservoir. I also ran a D5 with the XSPC Photon pump top/reservoir combo, for a number of years without issue. I guess that pump top could be causing some sort of weird cavitation, but that seems pretty unlikely since I see quite a few rigs using those pump/res combos. Looks like the pics are visible now.
