So after waking up today and leaving my PC to run F@H (as I usually do) I found that my 670's clock Mhz for some reason is 705Mhz (it has been running at about 1280Mhz on the clock for a good 8 months I would suppose) So I've tried restoring it to stock settings still the same. Ran Heaven and Valley stays the same in both. I can't think why it would suddenly decide to run at 705Mhz regardless of any changes I make in precision X. (Just a note it is watercooled and the highest it has ever hit is 70C it generally sits between 40-50C when folding.) any help appreciated.
 
Actually it turns out precision X was just being derpy and not actually applying the settings changes without me exiting/re-opening it. Seems my clock OC has become unstable.

I've found any oddities in GPU overclocks are usually fixed with a restart :)

Aha. That would probably be a good idea actually. I'm just trying to find a new stable clock. Which seems to be going alright. Guess a restart might have been all that was needed. Shall find out in due time xD
 
I wouldn't set your overclock so high anyway, if you lose hours/days due to crashes or the GPU is calculating incorrect results then it's ultimately counter productive to have that little bit of extra performance.
 
Yeah. I've figured out what the issue was. The core clock itself is stable. However the memory clock is not. So finding a clock that works for the memory currently. Was working back from +200 but the GPU drivers keep crashing. So instead I'm going to see if +100 is stable and maybe work up a little from there. Else it's back to stock for my memory clock. Not that it makes a huge difference on my PPD/FPS in games anyway.
 
Okay figured out the issue for certain. The memory clock is not unstable but the core clock definately was. Knocked 25Mhz off my OC and everything seems to be fine again.

So like Charity then? Not like Mining? As in you do it for free to help someone somewhere, Science stuff for medicines and cures? Nice...

It basically helps to find out how proteins fold incorrectly. Folding may one day find a cure to alzheimers and cancer. I'd love to Mine but mining seems a bit conterproductive.

Edit:

also yes it is somewhat charity you are donating your spare CPU/GPU cycles.
