My daughter runs GPUGrid longs on her Dell 9100: Win7, 4G RAM, 2-core processor and ASUS GTX 660. | |

The GPU temperature looks fine. | |

The GPU temperature looks fine. Thanks, Retvari. I'm on the job! | |

I have had to reduce at least the GPU clock on every GTX 660 that I have to make it stable on the hardest work units. In one case, even going down to the chip default frequency (980 MHz as I recall) was not enough, I had to reduce it to 967 MHz, and even reduce the memory clock as well as RZ mentions. Apparently Nvidia specified the operating limits of that particular chip right at the limits of what it would reliably do, though some cards are better than others due to heat-sinking or maybe power regulator capabilities. If your Dell is the laptop, it would have even less of a margin. Good luck. | |
