Hello Everyone,
I'm having trouble joining any tasks related to @Minecraft. I'm not sure why this is happening, as I can see that the forums are active. It could be an issue with my PC or my firewall, but other BOINC projects are working smoothly.
Additionally, I have an AMD Ryzen 5 5600G(full spec) processor with processing limits set at 70% and 95% time. Despite this, it's still working during my workload and I'm concerned about the high temperature of 76C (168.8F). Can you share your experience with temperature management? I've invested in some expensive blue thermal paste, but it's hard and sticky on CPU. I'm also using outdated 2-fan water cooling.

Thank you in advance for your support!

NOTE beforehand: Last time I used BOINC was in July 2022.

I think that from December 2021, there actually wasn't any new task available. So the problem isn't at your side.

PS. Judging by your nickname, are you from Poland by any chance?

Yep, I'm from Poland too! I recently upgraded my PC by switching to a more modern PC case and adjusting my watercooler fans to be horizontal due to lack of space. I also learned about thermal paste and used a high-quality one that stays dry at low temperatures and becomes liquid at high temperatures. By adding some old thermal paste, I ensured there were no gaps on the CPU. AMD's density scale goes as deep as 7nm, making it difficult to cool quickly, but it remains stable up to 85C. The only issue is that there's no proper mount for the AM4, and I can't find an adapter anymore, so it's only connected by two screws. However, the final effect is that it's now maxing out at a stable 72C with limits set at 90% and 95% of the time processor, instead of 80-84C.

As for my graphics card, I'm still using the Nvidia GTX 2060, which has been very helpful for video processing. It can process 4K clips in just 40 seconds instead of 40 minutes when only using the CPU. I'm thinking about upgrading to the Intel ARC 770, but it's currently expensive compared to its performance. Does anyone have experience with Intel cards nowadays?

PS. Did you try GRIDCoin?
