Graphics CardThe GPU is responsible for displaying graphical elements on a computer display. The GPU plays a key role in the Octane rendering process as the CUDA cores are utilized during the rendering process. or Computer Overheating |
|
Solution: |
Make sure the computer case has good ventilation which may include purchasing additional cooling fans or a different case altogether. Ensure the case has a good amount of space around all air intakes and vents. Heat sinks and fans will also build up dust and lose their cooling capacity. Use canned air to clean out computer cases, heat sinks and fans regularly. Free software tools such as Speedfan, EVGA Precision and GPUZ can assist in determining temperatures of the GPUThe GPU is responsible for displaying graphical elements on a computer display.
