 |  Ah, my laptop is taking a toll now that I'm on break because I'm using it. Still though, I'm managing to stay ahead to everyone else near me, and I've recently moved up to 63rd place. |

 | Hey all, just out of interest I've downloaded Folding@home (I used to run SETI@home) and I'll run it now and then (mostly when idle) for the Xoxide team on my Dual 2GHz G5. |

 | ooo a dual 2ghz G5, that should fold very nicely. good to have a mac'er on the team! Thx. since t3h bannage i was playing a lot more gaming which means < folding. Usually i spend time on xfn which means > folding (no cpu load) but yeah i still am #19. Me and sam passed emr4nd3l and are climbing up. |

  | ...until it overheats and dies...like every G5 I've seen being used to any maximum potential. |

| The problem is that apple's cooling solution is way too focused on beng quiet. The Dual G5 2.5 GHz runs at like 161 F and the board is like 140. |

| well thats easily fixed, all you gotta do is replace the fan. or if the fan is being toned down just tap it right into PSU |

| Well, I've had mine running it most of the day (consistent cpu use of 50-80% on both processors) and my fans are still in silent mode, in fact I don't think they've run any higher all day... system a-ok. Edit: and now that I've checked my temp monitor, both CPUs are at 23C, and the highest temp anywhere in the system is 64C Last edited by Blue Fox; 12-20-2005 at 10:08 PM. |

 | So apart from the whole contributing to science factor what's the perk in running F@H? Just bragging rights that your comp pwns everyone elses? |

| Has somebody else been folding under my name because I noticed that on my user statistics it says I finished 11 WUs or something but my main comp has only finished 8 and my laptop is still working on its first, or is this just a glitch.... |
