GPU On Fire

I love running the SETI processing software. Not just because it helps advanced scientific inquiry into our known universe, but because it maxes out every core on my CPU and GPU. That is amazingly efficient software. ;p

However, after 3 days solid of running the SETI 'app'. My GPU is reaching temperatures of 55c. Is there any way to adjust the settings for 90% GPU usage instead of 100% so I can keep the temperatures down?

This PC is dedicated and set aside to run the 'app', so I do not check on it very often. I just want to click-n-forget.

55c is pretty cool compared to what many GPUs run at....
Do you have the GPU fan locked on it's highest setting?

My 570 hit 248C earlier today which oddly coincided with a glitch in the monitoring software.

Your temps are nothing to stress.

My GTX 460 runs 69 to 72 degrees Celsius.

I still run a C2Q6600 on an ASUS P5E mobo and CPU temps are, according to
the ASUS display ~100C.
The GTX470 is tuned down to 850MHz, in stead of 1400MHz, cause temps are
reaching 95C or higher.
But this host runs over 3 years and doesn't seem to have problems.
Probably the display of temps is higher then they are in realaty.

This
host.

1 of my 460 use to run at 96 while the top one ran cooler so I moved the bottom one to my lowest slot and now they run at 72 each on seti they run cooler on milky way about 68 on milky way ands about 40 at idle. Here are my specs

The 'older series' of NVidias GPUs, 8xxx/9xxx/200, weren't made for
24x 7x 365 running at 100%. (A 9800GTX+ started making errors, then a GTS250...)

The FERMIs made this a lot better, although these also can run hot,
~75 - ~95C, is what I see on my 470 and 480. But it's whitin normal range.

Two ATI 5870 do run at ~85C, doing 2 SETI MB WUs a time.

For a 'test', I run 1 host, QX9650@ 3.55GHz + a GTX480(stock), whitout a case
20C cooler, except the GPU, 10% cooler.
PSU (650Watt) doesn't get warm (35C).

yea i should probably give my gtx 8800 a break before it explodes.. not doing an amazing amount of crunching anyways.

do u think i can run 2 WU's at a time on the gt 430s? the 3 computers i have those gt 430's in are dedicated SETI boxes, they do absolutely nothing else besides crunch

thanks for the replies guys :)

will give it a shot. in order to do it i edit the "app_info" and change something to .5 instead 1, right? i remember reading that somewhere.. what was the exact code i need to change, if you please..

Yes that is right all 1 to .5
