what CPU? Try running it at 2 cores less than your CPU has. So if it's an 8 core CPU, do 6 cores.

My Core i7 iMac had issues folding at 100% for long periods of time. Oddly, the computer ran just fine, but the actual data that was being folded got corrupted and I had to start the Work Unit over from the beginning.

It's an i7 3820 @ 4ghz at moment.. I ran it all day yesterday but when I checked temps theyre at ~80c

+ an h80 water cooler, so something needs addressing.. I'll try reseating it

Oh weird. That's a serious set up there. My iMac's i7 is an older 860, so maybe the new generations put out a lot more heat?

The aluminum case on my iMac can get near hand-burning levels when it's at 100%, though.

Yup it's quite a powerful computer, had a 27" iMac with i3, but I wanted an ssd and theyre a pain in the arse for upgrading..So sold it and got this :)

Anyway.. Yep I think the temps are higher on these, but still something must be amiss.

Bummer, we went from 13 active users last week to only 7 this week.

Where'd everybody go?

In good news, I've added two more C2D iMacs, and I got my 8 core Core i7 iMac back and running tonight!

I haven't reinstalled it on my desktop yet after reinstalling windows last week, so I'm down to only one computer contributing.I'll put it back on soon. (I'm the mysterious person with the long name near the top).

Ok, back online now!

Just something random I threw in when I first started. When I joined the Neowin team I couldn't change it because I'd loose track of those first 22 WU I had done :o :cry: I can't be bothered to see if I can change it now :/
