Windows 10: 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 [email protected] 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?

:)

 

What version of Sports Tracker for 6650 fold?

There are seven different download links for Sports Tracker, depending on S60 version and phone model. The 6650 fold is not listed for any of them.



I'm hoping the app runs on the 6650 fold, and the page simply has not been recently updated with newer phone models.



Any suggestions?

 

Best laptop under $800??

Well the last one I suggested seems to be the best for 650$

Folding At Home on a Laptop

Personally, I don't know if I would run L: [email protected] on a laptop due to the performance hit incurred. Also, you need to think that if the core temperature is 75C while you are folding, what does the temperature rise to when you are folding and doing some CPU intensive tasks?

As you said, this would be trivial for a desktop as usually the desktop has better cooling and runs the CPU at a much lower temperature.
