Hello Forum,
my PC: i7-4790, 4*3,6GHz, 16GB RAM, GTX-770 with 2GB, W7.
When using iClone5 my CPU indicates higher temperatures (40°C - 50°C , sometimes 70°C) while the GPU "sleepes" at 25°C to 30°C. At critical moments, CPU temperature goes to 90°C, which is not good at all. GPU would accept 80°C quite easily.
My impression: the CPU is doing all the work, while the GPU is sleeping.
What could I do to "transfer" load from the CPU to the GPU?
Greetings from Germany,
Gerhard

IMO, it's iC5 Program itself that dictates whether or not it's using CPU over GPU & Vica versa, at any given time. Therefore, IMO, you can't direct iClone to use less CPU & more GPU. In an NLE Program environment, the GPU Renders Video Effects. All other eg; sound is CPU Rendered. It sounds like your PC has a physical overheating problem. Check your CPU Heatsink & MOBO/PC Case Fans are functioning correctly. You need to check CPU & GPU temperatures before & after Running iClone. My ASUS MOBO monitors MOBO & CPU temperatures, automatically adjusting CPU Heatsink & PC Case Fans speed, to maintain optimum temperatures. Never more than 50 degrees at any given time. Usually between 35-45 degrees, when Running iC5. ADDED - And overclocking the CPU without sufficient cooling, can dramatically increase it's temperature & fry your MOBO, if you're not careful. Anyone-else?

Thanks, Colour, for your response, Well, I think I need to get deeper into the cooling topic. Greetings from Germany, Gerhard

SchachMatt (11/21/2014) Thanks, Colour, for your response, Well, I think I need to get deeper into the cooling topic. Greetings from Germany, Gerhard40 -50 is within acceptable limits. 70 & certainly not 90, aren't. Your CPU/MOBO should have a safety cut-out that shuts-down you PC, when those temperatures are reached. Excessive dust can also cause overheating.

the fans are clean as well as the PS´interior the energy options of W7 have an impact: energy saving mode

- the fans are clean as well as the PC´s interior
- my latest experience: the energy options of W7 have an impact on CPU temp: - energy saving mode: ~ 40°C - balanced mode: ~ 50°C - high power mode: 70° up to sporatically 100°
I checked Intel: the 4790 has a max. operating temp of 72,72°C and an updated temp. management which reduces CPU´s load when temp goes up to 100°C which is prevented by the fans. 150°C seems to be a real critical value!
I have not experienced any forced shut-down sofar; but for sure, higher temps reduce the CPU´s life-span. For the moment I use Windows 7 energy saving mode.

You might want to watch a process monitor and see if iClone is using your GPU. It should be using it quite a lot! Check in the control panel of your GPU to see if it's set to something custom that is preventing iClone from utilizing it. I keep my settings on "let the program decide", but I know that you can set custom settings for individual programs.

indeed, I made a change from "let the application decide" to "advanced settings" but switched back now in the NVidea SystemControl; as far as I see now it does not make much of a difference and there are no further settings made by me;
which "process monitor" do have in mind?

which "process monitor" do have in mind?Try the widget on the sidebar on Win 7. It's called gpu monitor, I miss this in Win 8. http://addgadgets.com/gpu_meter/

SchachMatt (11/21/2014) - the fans are clean as well as the PC´s interior
- my latest experience: the energy options of W7 have an impact on CPU temp: - energy saving mode: ~ 40°C - balanced mode: ~ 50°C - high power mode: 70° up to sporatically 100°
I checked Intel: the 4790 has a max. operating temp of 72,72°C and an updated temp. management which reduces CPU´s load when temp goes up to 100°C which is prevented by the fans. 150°C seems to be a real critical value!
I have not experienced any forced shut-down sofar; but for sure, higher temps reduce the CPU´s life-span. For the moment I use Windows 7 energy saving mode.
1) W7 Power Options, here, are Default; Balanced Mode. 2) Max CPU temperatures & Fan speeds here, are controlled by ASUS MOBO. CPU Temperature & Fan speeds can be customised via ASUS MOBO Probe Program. Anything above the Default Maximum will display a red warning. My Settings are set at Default. 3) No AMD/ATI GPU Control Panel Priority Settings here re; Rampa's Post, that I'm aware of. But there are in Windows OS Settings. The Default is; "Let Windows Decide". 4) I repeat my first Post that, IMO, iClone Program "decides" when it's using CPU/GPU. 5) Ensuring that all Settings above are set at Default, "Might" fix the problem.
