I recently assembled my own PC. Which should replace my old laptop for 3D rendering.
Now I had a 3D animation rendered overnight last night. But I think he switched off after 2 hours or something. I work with blender and cycles. My animation has 250 frames, I tested last night that a frame takes around 3 minutes. Now I woke up and only 28 frames were rendered when I started it up again…
How can I fix this so that nothing will happen in the future?
I'm not overclocking.
Here is my hardware:
AMD Threadripper 1920x (CPU)
Graphics card (GPU): HD Readon 6990 (I know may not be the best but I had to save on the PC for financial reasons).
64 GB RAM
Please ONLY serious answers.
The question is, why did the box go down? Should she do that or does it look more like a crash?
Would look first in the Windows energy options, there you can then set after how many minutes e.g. The monitor goes out, or when in standby / off etc. Would set it so that the monitor after 15-20 min goes out and the computer never goes into standby or goes out.
No idea.
Thank you. Yes, I will have a look. Is there such an attitude? That the PC should not shut down?
I can actually turn off the monitor myself with a small button in the back. The PC stays on.
Yes.
OK thanks.
Yes, that's okay, I just set it up for myself so that the monitor simply turns off after 15 minutes but the computer never goes into standby or sleep mode, so I can simply go away from my work while the computer is still working but the monitor doesn't have to be on for that
Yes, that's right.
Set the energy options to "Full Power".
The computer should no longer shut down automatically or go into standby.
It does not matter when the monitor is switched off. You can set it how you want it. (For me it's 10 minutes)
And then try this tool:
https://www.econap.de/
There you can then specify several limit values, when the computer falls below the standby mode at the same time. Basic exceptions can also be set.
It works very well for me.
It doesn't matter which programs work in the background. This can be a backup, a download manager, an active virus scan, or something else.
Basically, I agree with you, but I find it problematic that at full power the CPU does not slow down even if no power is required, in the company I would not care, but at home, it makes a difference in terms of the year, so it has a difference it was enough for me to manually set that no longer standby or similar Is activated, but the CPU still clocks down at 0% load.
As long as the software is rendering, the CPU is (usually) 100% loaded.
When the calculations are done, this Econap takes hold and sends the computer to standby.
It's actually so perfect.
And what you have there's not a "saving" calculator, but a "working" animal.
Perhaps a very economical second system for everyday tasks would be a sensible investment.
But I still have a tip for you: Process Lasso (commercial)

This allows you to assign your own energy profile to various programs. The energy profile can even be changed quickly using the tray icon.
It mainly deals with the automatic management of CPU priorities.
It is a very powerful and versatile tool.
And it also works perfectly in parallel with Econap.
