i love winter.

Folding@home set too use all CPU. ambient temp is 15 degrees! considering the CPU is going full power, and its 16 inside the case, i am so, so cold. but its worth it.

That is either dedication or you need your bumps feeling by a qualified practitioner :eek:

Now shut the window, before you catch your death of cold :D
 
oh'k! folding... i read in custompc about folding@home... and they ask about people to folding at home, yet i dont have a clue what it is.. somthing to clock how cold you can make your componants in your pc??
 
folding@home uses your idel CPU power too fold small proteins. proteins are always folding, changing shape. folding@home tries too map out and visually place how a protein folds, this is done in a 10 nanosecond timeframe.

many medical l33ts think that alot of illnesses and that happen when a protein misfolds, does not shape into what its suppose too. and it aggrovates and it happens too the cells around it.

this, folding@home is used too help medically.

Where to start?

There are a number of programmes you can run to help cure various diseases. The most common disease they're trying to find a cure for is Cancer.

Folding at home tries to find cures for Cancer and a whole bunch of other nasties, such as HIV and Multiple Schlerosis.

How do they do this? Drug companies simulate the action of various drug combinations using a computer. Just one such experiment can take from 3 hours to 3 days on one computer. Obviously they don't have that computing power, so they ask for volunteers.

You can run those experiments on your computer and return the results. If millions of people do this the idea is a cure can be found quicker. Whilst 'folding' or 'crunching' your CPU will run at 100% use and therefore run hot. The program will not affect anything else on your computer, other actions take precedence and the experiemnt will give way to your gaming or Video editing if it has to.

These programmes run unobtrusively in the background.

There is Folding At Home, United Devices, and Find-A-Drug. There are probably others, but they're the only ones I know about.

I've been running the United Devices Cancer Cure Project for 3.5 years now on an average of 3 or 4 machines. I hate Cancer.

This means all my machines are constantly at 100% usage, sure makes you keep an eye on your temps ;)

That is a very, very, brief summary into the whole thing. It's not about testing your computer or watching CPU temps, it's about finding a cure for diseases that could one day affect us all.
 
ill make this everytime i beat the record. today, 20 minutes ago...on a cold, early december evening...i have broke the 15 degrees!

13 degrees!!!!

im hoping, more into january, i will get more better results.

those who may be concerned...i have taken steps too ensure i do not freeze too death.

this is 13 degrees ambient inside the case. CPU was 29 degrees. this is with FAH running as well, around 4 hours prior too when i checked the temp. even though the temp may be slightly inaccurate, its not that wrong.
 
i find it hard too play in the cold at times, as my fingers get too cool for comfort.:p
 
Woke up this morning with white stuff all over my car ... :rolleyes:

The temp on the workshop computer reads as follows ... crunching UD 24/7
