Hello,

I am planning to do a bit of GPUGRID with Linux in the future (as I know how ti install BOINC in the way that I have control over it and have access to the directories and files (which I have not when let Linux instal BOINC automatically)), but I see that the stderr file with all information MJH made is only available in Windows.
Are there no programs in Linux to measure system temperature and such?

Hello: One of the best ways to control the system possibly be "Gkrellm" capable of displaying all values​​; processor usage, Temperatures (CPU and GPU) fans, Processes etc. ..

I have it installed on Ubuntu but it sure works with any distribution. Greetings.

Hello: control fan speed on the GPUs is through "Coolbits" in Nvidia-Settings, the new version shows the fan speed of the GPU if it is supported.

Gkrellm not show fan speed of the GPUs but if their temperatures naturally first run "lm-sensors" to detect all sensors and well plate Gkrellm (or any other monitoring utility) can read them.

If anyone is interested I can detail the steps to activate "Coolbits" run "lm-sensors" and mount "Gkrellm". all this for Ubuntu 13.10 but I guess it is for other distributions. Greetings.

Hello: I'm using Nvidia 331.17 for days and the basic difference with the above is that it shows the fan speed of the GPU and this supports it.

No information about the load or use in% of the GPUs, if the frequency of the graphics and memory, I can post images of Nvidia-Settings if interested.

Hi

latest nvidia-settings (331.17) and drivers provide more informations about your graphic card

nvidia-settings

see

Hello Dagorath, in these times the last driver 331.17 Linux (Beta) and Nvidia-Settings set to "Coolbits 4" you have access to the necessary information from the GPU and a very good manual fan control with nothing to envy options in Windows.

Automatic programming missing fan according to the temperature forcing some temperatures monitor the GPUs we can get screen continuously and scheduled alarms, for example com GKrellm, as I said at another time.

The issue I Coolbits widely discussed in this section in another thread. Greetings.

Hi Carlesa,

I installed the 331.17 (beta) driver and yes there is more information in the nvidia-settings GUI. There is also the new rules and profile section. I have Coolbits 4 working and I have the manual fan speed control working.

Maybe I missed something but the manual fan speed control has not improved since earlier drivers and the auto fan speed control still does not allow setting a lower target temperature. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.

Thanks for your suggestion about GKrellM. I didn't know about it until you mentioned it. I like it and the alarms are nice but it seems to me the alarms only issue a warning and that is all. If the alarms could also trigger an action such as a fan speed increase they would be more useful.

Hello: The manual fan control by Coolbits 4 works perfectly, you can look at the thread "Coolbits" to review how to install.

The problem is that it only allows you to set the fan manually % but is not able to control automatically change according to temperature, you have to monitor possible changes in temperature and manually reset.

It works whether you have one or more GPUs installed, but see problem connected monitor.

GKrell have visual alarms but can not control the fans that I know.

For GKrell (actually any monitor utility) works well and read all the sensors on your motherboard first install and run "lm-sensors". Greetings.

Hello Dagorath thanks for the interesting information new to me, I will try to use it if I can.

My GTX770 for now works great and fresh as I have configured with a load of 93% <60 ° C and <65% fan speed, but it is interesting to try to automate the process, we'll see. Greetings.

Hi Carlesa,

I already have it automated with a bash script. Unfortunately I lost that script but I'll rewrite it as a Python script and make it available.

The nice thing about automating it with a script is that you can specify the target temp plus a maximum fan speed. If the current temp exceeds the target temp and current fan speed = max fan speed then the script can reduce % usage or clock speed to reduce the running temp.
