GTX 1080 - Temperature control disabled

[KA1J]

I'm trying to lower my warnings & errors in the log, some I don't know what to do with. I'm not sure what to make from "Temperature control disabled"

When I run Precision XOC I see the temperature slider is set at a temperature target of 85C. There is a digital tab which attaches to a priority wqidget and I have the tab attached to temperature, the other option it to switch the tab to the power target. I have set the dynamic clock adjustments to be prioritized to temperature. My actual temperature in the room is stable and the core temperature is 53C, not excessive.

I see no other options on the GTX 1080 control to address the temperature other than fan and I have increased the slider 4/5ths of the way up, so the fans are working hard & keeping the temp down. Seeing as the last lines below say: "06:31:12:WU04:FS01:0x22:Temperature control disabled. Requirements: single Nvidia GPU, tmax must be < 110 and twait >= 900" and this shows as warnings and errors in the GPU, what can I do to remove the issue causing the warning?

I have on order an EVGA RTX 2080 Tii XC Ultra and will be running that in the same computer as this GTX 1080 I'm assuming that will be a dance to get both running well with each other and the computer, I should probably get this 1080 running properly first & then go from there.

Ideas what I can do to enable the temperature control & stop this warning? right now the sensor reads at 52C

06:31:12:WU04:FS01:0x22:Temperature control disabled. Requirements: single Nvidia GPU, tmax must be < 110 and twait >= 900

That line seems to be pretty much a standard line. It doesn't affect the temperature control of your hardware through your operating system, BIOS or separate programs. It might be a feature within GROMACS, the molecular dynamics package which the WUs are build on, that for other platforms WUs could control temperatures of CPUs and or GPUs. In FAH WUs that is always disabled. Hence that line in the code.

I've read here a few times already that this line was used during development and should actually have been removed. It is now useless and can safely be ignored.

There's an issue logged for this to be removed: https://github.com/FoldingAtHome/fah-issues/issues/1431

It was an attempt at a new feature several years ago but it didn't work and now the cosmetic message still remains... hopefully, not for long.

Thank you all for the answer, it is an artifact then & of no concern.

That solved, I have another warning I see occasionally and would appreciate thoughts on; the unknown error. You see them it at the bottom of the log file. This is from last night & what I found after maybe 7 hours of running:

1:38:22:WARNING:WU03:FS00:FahCore returned an unknown error code which probably indicates that it crashed

Thoughts?

Random fact, if you have a single nvidia card and set the tmax and twait settings you can still turn it on, kinda useless except as a last resort though.

That has the potential of inducing thermal stress on the GPU which was one of the reasons it was discontinued (other being is that it didn't work as effectively as originally planned).
