New folder here. I have a new I5-9400 with an Nvidia 1660 TI (non OC). Running on GPU only. First 9 WU's ran perfect at 98% GPU load, 60c and fan at about 65%. 8 pin voltage at 25 watts.

After restarting system this morning the current WU started running at 98% GPU, 80c and fan at 95%. 8 pin voltage at 85 and TDP at 100 and getting temperature and voltage regulated.

Not sure what happened or how to fix? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

FAH has no way to limit the GPU usage, some projects run at 100%, some at 70%. If you're worried, you can use a tool like MSI Afterburner to set a power limit but FAH is just trying to use the power available to it.

If the project you were running was 13416 have a look at:
viewtopic.php?f=19&t=35744
Some runs in that project are taking longer to process ... the situation is being looked into by the project leader.

At the terminal (or cmd) run nvidia-smi -h
You can set a power limit via
nvidia-smi -i 0 -pl xxx # instead of xxx set your preferred watt

I ended up dumping the Wu and the next Wu went back to my original results.
