Testing Version 3.60

[fred]

Add: Independent temperature regulator for each GPU.
Add: When a CPU signature changes a message box will be shown with a warning. At the same time the number of temperature sensors is checked.
Add: An option in Preferences, to allowing opening the dialog, as administrator only.
Changed: Every GPU now has it's own regulator thread, with a randomized offset.
Changed: Minimum CPU and GPU regulator 2->1%.
Fixed: In BOINC connection mode, TThrottle didn't always reconnect when a connection was lost. (Due to a restart of the BOINC client).
Fixed: Graphs, draw the horizontal and vertical text last, to avoid them to be overdrawn by other items.

New translation: Preference tab: Allow TThrottle to be opened as administrator only.
New translation: Administrator access only = balloon text when option above is active.

On one machine I'm still running TTh 3.60. Approx. at the time I've upgraded BT 1.05->1.06 (it could be around 11:54 +- 5 minutes, but not exactly) the TTh's CPU usage and I/O suddenly went up approximately twice:

   

At the same time the level of throttling was rising, but just very slowly, no reason for such change:

I don't have any explanation for what could happen.



I've tried to suspend the WUProp task (nCi task with 3 threads, zero CPU usage, occasional I/O blip in few minutes). As TTh noticed it, its CPU throttle graph went up from 62% to 78% and CPU usage jumped down to previous level, after resuming the task TTh's CPU usage again jumped up to higher level and CPU throttle graph went to 63%.

I'll check this once more after installing TTh 4.xx series.

[fred]

I'll check this once more after installing TTh 4.xx series.

I only support V 4.2.

[Pepo]

I'll check this once more after installing TTh 4.xx series.

I only support V 4.2.

Then I should've noticed it on 3.41? )

Later I'll test 4.20 too.
