Title: Is this normal? Just want to confirm.
Post by: psknives on May 31, 2011, 03:39:19 PM
Setting: Value when sleeping (Value when awake)

Voltage: 1.2
Fan: 50% (55%)
Clock: 925
Frames: 0 (60)
Memory: 800

-v slowed my pc
-s0.01 lowered my average hash rate by only 1-3MH/s, but its a good feature to use i guess when sleeping but I don't use it I might later on
-w128 worked wonders
-w64 froze my pc about 2 times when i did stuff on my pc
-f 0 works good and doesn't lag my pc too much i can still go on forums, etc.
-f 60 works better when i want to use my pc

Temp never go above 74, but its on [71-72] average.


I was wondering why when I went to youtube my computer would freeze also if someone could be so kind.

Just turn off hardware acceleration for flash. Right click on the video go to settings  and uncheck enable hardware acceleration

You may want to make sure the -s tag is working properly, check your GPU utilization. -s0.01 should lower your hashrate by about a third if it is working. Those temps are a bit dangerous if you plan on running that all the time, so see if you can increase airflow.

Make sure you are on the newest version of guiminer or the cmd utility if that is what you are using, older versions don't support the -s tag.

Definitely do as others suggest, and change your flash settings. Also check the version using something like www.mozilla.com/plugincheck/ so that you are on the most efficient version of flash.
