When encoding, the GPU increases in temperature until the computer just turns off.
The only workaround I have found is to encode one 10sec video at a time and allow the computer to cool between videos. Takes forever to get any work done.
Appreciate that the Rhea encoding is intensive on system resources, but in effect, it’s practically useless in a professional capacity as it currently stands.
Your gpu shouldn’t be going into thermal runaway and causing the computer to shutdown.
On my PC, when the GPU temperature goes over 80°C the fans get very loud and very annoying. I use MSI Afterburner to limit the GPU temperature to about 78°C, just before the fans really start to ramp up. That limits power consumption at higher temperatures, but doesn’t affect TVAI performance too much (~10% reduction).
It’s hard to say how much something like this would benefit you, if your computer is struggling to exhaust sufficient heat.
As Alan mentioned using MSI Afterburner can help with setting temp limits and power constraints on some systems when they run too hot or high and shutdown. Rhea is very intensive as you mentioned but it sounds like your fans and cooling are not kicking in early enough to help your system.
MSI Afterburner has been helpful, I have been limiting the temp to 80 degrees and ramping up the fans as it gets to this temp. It has been less prone to turning off.
The problem still persists however. I have noticed that even with the temp at 80, the workstation will turn off after a couple of videos.
