How to adjust the receiver gain in a deuterium oxide protein sample?

I am running a 15N HSQC on a protein sample which is in a 100% deuterium oxide solvent. The command rga in TopSpin gives a value of >10000 for the receiver gain. I understand this is happening because there is no water signal and hence the receiver gain is optimizing the S/N. However, should the experiment be run with that high value or should it be adjusted to a value of a size similar to the one used on water samples?
