It should be fine, and.. if you think its bad to leave it folding while your away.. isnt it jsut as bad if you were there? I mean if it dies.. it will die.. wheither with you being there or not.. But the temps should be fine.

This presler does a great job at keeping my room warm, I can always feel a steady stream of hot air blowing from the exhaust vents. bing said:
Unfortunately it's an ECS board so it only allows vcore adjustment upwards (and only to +0.03v). I'm just waiting for somebody to make a decent overclocking uATX board, and then the ECS board will go away...to be shown again in the hardware destruction thread.

Should be fine. My rigs run F@H 24/7. Well, except for my C2D it does like 18/7.

I fold 24/7. You should load up SpeedFan and use the configure/events settings to create a shutdown event if the CPU temps go over 80c. That way if a fan should fail you will have an automatic shut down if needed. Use WinXP shutdown.exe in the:
"then" "execute" "c:\windows\system32\shutdown.exe" "-s -f -t 30"
-s = shutdown, -f = override programs running, -t 30 = you have 30 seconds to say no.
The flags ensure the system will shut down within 30 seconds if the temps reach and stay above 80c.

It will probably be fine unless you have a power outage while your away... i'd probably set the BIOS to stay off when power is restored, and have the systems that stay on at your place on a decent surge protector that will trip/cut power when the power comes back up.
