what version of opencl are you running?

I totally believe that so much energy and processing power goes to waste. The best thing could be a university alliance that proposes a "knowledge coin" and we give our computing power to solve critical problems for humanity wile this knowledge is free to all and the coins a few for everyone.

Are you sure, this setup is gonna work cooling-wise once all 4 cards are @100%?

If I had that system here I would be paying abouts $800 a month in power bills. LOL
