Folding At Home on a Laptop
Windows 10 x64 21H1, build 19043.899
Hello all,
I have a question for all of you. I started running Folding At Home on my laptop. I know that this is said to not always be a good idea because of the heat generated, however, I am wondering if it is still a problem on my setup. This is system number 1 listed under my computer, the Precision 3520.
I have F@H set up to run on only one core/one thread. AIDA64 says that with it running, my CPU temp tends to sit around 75C. Ive read in a few places online that one typically should keep the CPU at least 10-15C under the Tjunction max temp, which on this CPU is 100C. I know on a desktop system this would be a non-issue. Im just wondering about it for a laptop. The system fan does spin up a bit, but is still barely audible under most conditions.
What do you all think?
