Folding even as we speak. I wish this CPU didn't get so hot, though.

Thanks for joining the team.

My laptop can get quite hot when folding, so I throttle back the CPU to 75%. On a desktop I might run it to 80% and check the temperature after folding a while.

Are you folding under your own name?

I have two dedicated dual core machines folding 24/7 in the shed I built out back (the family calls it the Taj MaShed, because, well, it's a bit overbuilt). There is no heater in the shed, but it is insulated. The folders keep the shed interior around 50 degrees Fahrenheit even though it's been about 15-25 degrees Fahrenheit outside. Whenever I go out to the shed to use my rower I'm basking in balmy weather courtesy of my CPUs.
