[glebka11]

Hey guys, i started folding couple of days ago and i have a little problem w/ my temps...

well, i have P/// 1Ghz and well, my case sucks and the full load temps are ~60 ~64. ill get a new case soon and maybe even OC my proc. , but i need to do something about the folding stuff.

well first of all, i want folding@home be hidding so i wont see it. maybe in system tray... (im currently running the no nonesence text version now).

So the point is that i want the app do the job but wont heat up my cpu much.

any suggestions?

Get the service install from wedos One-Click thread. This can be found here http://www.ocforums.com/vb/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=250599

You may want to crack open your case and clean it out, especially the heatsink. If thats not enough, you may need to get a new HSF combo.

Naah, its the case...
I dont have enough cooling in my midi case and the PSU is nearly ON THE CPU... so its the case.
I am planning to get a new one on the holidays (Xmas).

So what about MY problem w/ the F@H ?

Run the graphical version. It sits in the systray. Or you can use a program called TrayIT to put the console version in the systray.

Thanks, but what about the processor usage?

Thanks, but what about the processor usage?

You can set the max processor usage to less than 100%. Set it to, say, 67% or something. There is an option in the FaH program.

How about just leaving the side case door off? It should drop temps a bit.

If nothing else, you could take the side off and use a small fan to blow air into your case.

i tryed to do that but it doesnt really help a lot... and i cant leave a fan all the night, its too loud.

If that did not help then the problem is not your case, the problem sound like your HSF. Look into a new better HSF combo.
