100% Cpu
FAHCOR_78.exe usually 50%
WINFAH.exe usually 50% Task Manager shows both cpus are running 100%. It's summer time and it gets steamy without the air conditioner on. I'm running folding 24/7. The chart says each cpu is at 100% . This can't be good for the hardware. Any ideas? Mike

If you don't want 100% cpu utilization, don't run folding; it's designed to take up all unused cycles.
As far as whether it's good for the hardware, get a temperature monitoring program (CoreTemp is good) and see what the cpu temp is like. Processors catch on fire around 85 degrees C....my A64 4000+ is running 100% (folding) at 55 degrees. Generally, anything below 60 degrees is 'comfortable.' I believe the AMD chips will slow down automatically before hitting 85 degrees, but I may be wrong. I know intel does.

As long as your temps are good, you should be fine. If you're uncomfortable with it, I believe there's an option in the F@H config that allows you to set the percent utilization of the processor. Back it down if you like. I'm of the opinion that you could run a processor 24/7 well beyond its useful life, as long as you keep the dust bunnies from clogging up your air flow!

Intel CPU's clock down to cool off, AMD does not. AMD CPU's must have a COP enabled board (I believe that all are now) and will shut down when reaching a critical temp to avoid thermal runaway and CPU damage.

Thanks for everyone's help. I downloaded Coretemp. It said I am running at about 43C and 38C.
Another sky is falling panic episode. Thanks again, Mike Last edited by Rapier; 06-29-2007 at 11:33 AM. Reason: grammar |
