[gmx-users] GPU job often tailed

[Szilárd Páll]

Do you have a factory-overclocked model? Even if you don't if you
happen to run Windows or if you are experienced with custom BIOS-es,
you could try lowering the GPU clock frequency a bit and see if the
error still occurs.

You may also want to increase the GPU fan speed, the default fan
profile on GTX cards is (overly?) optimized for low noise and the card
has to hit 80+ C for the fan to reach 60-65% speed and it never goes
above unless you manually set it to 85% (which bizarrely enough is the
maximum).

Cheers,
