New user, so please treat me gentle, LOL

I am running dual GTX580's and have the temperature limit set to 95 degrees and the restart timer at 10 seconds (have the fans on an aggressive speed so by then they cool down enough to restart the render).

The problem is when I get the overheating warning and it states the render will restart in 10 seconds...it doesn't. I have to manually click the "Continue" button at the bottom. If this normal behavior or am I missing something? If it states it will restart, I would expect it to restart without intervention...

Thanks!

Anybody?

All I'm asking is if the "restart" feature isn't working...and if it is, reporting it isn't...

I believe I answered a similar question on another thread. If you are closing the notification window (which includes by clicking accept, okay, or whatever), you are deactivating the restart. If you aren't then it may be a bug. The notification window contains (for lack of a better word) the timer. When you close it, you kill the restart process, since it's intended use is for un-monitored rendering to continue without user intervention.

Thanks for the reply sikotik13! And sorry I did not see your other post, tried searching for a while an never found any answer....

I am not clicking the button on the pop-up window. I actually tried it both ways to see if closing the window was the issue, but when I noticed the window disappears after the intended number of seconds (whether I set it for 10, 20, 30, does not matter) I figured I would just let it sit and see what happened...but the render process does not continue.

Ah, then in that case, it should be counted as a bug, and reported through the "online issue report form" link in the plugin. Which reminds me that I forgot to ask the most basic question... Dang.

Which version are you running?

No worries on finding the other post, the search system is a little wonky at times, was just mentioning in case you hadn't and the other post contained relevant info. Habit, more than anything else.

So your cards reach 95°C when rendering?
Do them a favor and optimize your cooling (case fans, new mainboard with more space between cards...)

get proper airflow & downclock Your Your GPUs if that would not help..running 95 is not good..
