GPU folding + using integrated graphics

[notAFanBoy]

I am currently experimenting with folding on my GPU while using the integrated graphics on my i5 4670k to play youtube videos and do some light gaming. So far it is working pretty well with my ASRock motherboard set to use integrated graphics by default. There is only one minor problem - I can't use my normal fan control or heat monitoring programs to interact with the GPU. I normally use ASUS GPU tweak and speccy, but when I try to start up GPU tweak, it gives the message:

 

Fail to load dlls.Please install VGA driver.

 

I tried to use MSI afterburner, but no luck there either. Anyone have any ideas to monitor temperature or change fan speed? Partlist link for refrence: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/nWqJ3C

Tryusing msi afterburner

 

still, the problem here is that windows is loading intel's drivers and not amd's. You could try opening catalyst manually

If your card is from Sapphire, try using the Sapphire Trix utility. It sucks, I know, BUT, once I had a similiar situation where no program would work on my Sapphire card, except the proprietary software. I guess it doesn't hurt to try....

 

Also try Gigabyte OC Guru, EVGA Precision, Nvidia inspector, maybe even mod the Bios to a better fan profile.

Yeah, I realized after trying to use MSI afterburner that this was probably the issue, but I wasn't really sure what dll files were. I just tried opening up catalyst control center manually and it's like I don't even have a graphics card - it won't let me change any settings.

I don't think that trying all the different oc tools will do me any good (also my card is from ASUS). I think the issue here is that windows doesn't have a driver for my graphics card when I tell my motherboard to use the integrated graphics. Why this still allows folding at home to run, I have no real clue.

you could flash a custom bios with your own fan profile, asus cards should have dual bios support so it's not excessively risky

Maybe. But that's what I said, once I was having a problem with my Sapphire card, and using Trix immediately allowed me to control the card, where other utilites failed. Same for my 970, Nvidia inspector allows me to do things other software failed to their knees.

 

That's why I suggested trying that method... besides, I didn't know which card it was, so I had to throw every brand I knew into the mix.
