Did you try it at stock voltage & speed?

I tried that and even less than stock settings. I'll eventually try the 560 Ti in another machine. Too many other people's computers to work on this week.

I was admonished for posting the following in the Panic Mode server thread. Should someone with the project contact the user? Seems like a lot of wasted time and resources for his computer and that of his wing men.

I noticed I have 16 invalids which I found unusual, I started poking around and found a wing man with 743 invalids. WTF? Someone with some expertise should look at computerhttp://setiathome.berkeley.edu/results.php?hostid=6772486,

Well best IMO, if not valid work, they're at least being picked up as invalid/errors (Boinc system doing its job :) ). Annoying and a waste of bandwidth, but even the best machines do break/go-weird sometimes. What's bad is past situations with faults that produce identical rubbish on separate wingmen. Far rarer than it used to be, but still something not completely impossible to happen.

Side-related-story: stock Cuda 3.2 was recently removed from being sent to Kepler/MaxWell GPUs. That's because something weird going on there with recent drivers etc, could do some situation like the above (in theory). At least cards like that should really be getting the Cuda 5 app anyway, so stopping that avenue of distribution at least gives time to figure out what broke
