    Just caught up on the last bunch of system updates, and guess what, my computer is folding 20 degrees cooler.

    I am happy and baffled, anyone else experience this?

    I was going to quite folding on the 12" pb but might keep it going awhile now. Could this be a function of all the repair permissions I did?

    Well either way, I have 3 folding again, trying to keep sparlytone off my arse.

    edit: dummy me, i noticed that it was in processor automatic for energy saver vs Highest. Guessing that could of helped, but 24 degrees is a lot!

    You jumped ahead the other day, then fell back and it said 85 days to catch me.

    How hot does your PB run doing folding? My rev a 12" PB runs between 135-140 F CPU temp running SETI and on "reduced" it keeps it around 125 F

    Now is a great time to take back your spot...I just lost a full days production on two machines, one of them my big point-maker.

    I'll put the pedal to the sackcloth and add a couple of rotating fans to the ole machines and get going.

    Stopped for 3 days on my laptop, trying to cool it off.

    about the same, reduced or automatic for me keeps it cooler, I think I will keep it at that setting. folding was running as high as 149 so this is way better.
    My laptop sits on an iCurve 24/7.

    I live in Minnesota (Northern USA),

    Running Seti on 1 windows computer, and 2 Mac computers, I could keep my computer room (small bedroom) at a consistant 70 degrees most of last winter. Granted the Monitors helped quite a bit, the room was not as warm when the computers were just sitting idle..

    I am curious to see what is like with my new G5, and 2 G4s next winter running Folding@home :eek:

    Man. I live in the same latitude range... not quite the frozen Tundra that MSP is famous for, but close. My cheap-ass landlord is always skimping on heat during the winter... you may have given me an idea for next winter. Thanks!
