Hi

most likely (I haven't tried) the problem is the box size
together with your choice of Poisson solver. The solver "ANALYTIC"
works with a sphere and your case the maximum diameter of the sphere
is given by the minimum extension of the box.
Try the either the solver "MT" with box size 20 x 80 x 20
or the solver "WAVELET" with box size 50 x 50 x 50.

best regards

Subject: [CP2K:3024] A strange problem about hybrid-DFT combined with all-electron calculation

Dear all:

     I am a beginner here. I started learning CP2K by investigating 6
cases in gas without periodic bondary condition which I had done in
the Gaussian03 package (G03). These cases contains CH4, C2H6, C6H14,
C8H18, C32H66, and C60. All of these calculations were performed at
the theoretical level of B3LYP/6-311G** without pesudopotential. I am
very happy to see that CP2K leads to very close results to G03 for
CH4, C2H6, C8H18, and C60. The deviations between each other are less
than 1.0E-5 (CH4), 1.0E-4 (C2H6), 1.0E-4 (C6H14), 1.0E-4 (C8H18) and
1.0E-3 a.u. (C60). However, the deviation for C32H66 is more than 5.0
a.u., where the input statement is the same as the other 5 examples.

     For C32H66, the computed total energy from G03 is -1259.58294069
a.u., which is about -1264.57308160 a.u. with the cell size of
18x55x18, and -1264.65816635 a.u. with 25x55x25, and -1264.65985171
a.u. with 25x60x25. The deviations are very huge. And another puzzling
thing is that when I choose the cell size of 22x60x22, the total
energy obtained from CP2K is about -1260.48059560 a.u. which has the
deviation of more than 4 a.u. against results of the other three cell
size.

      The input file of C32H66 is:
