I have not run Seti@home for awhile now as this can generate a lot of heat in the processor(s) running full throttle. I will again dedicate 2 to 3 puters to seti 24/7 if this gets incorperated into the seti@home program. But at this time I am not rich enough to have my puters burn out on a free service to seti.

Also bear in mind that you need version 5.6.x or higher of BOINC to get this to work... ;-) HTH Andy ID: 649063 ·

If you set it at 80% it will run 8 seconds at 100% then go idle 2 seconds. This allows compatibility through all OSs. My movie https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/502242 ID: 649175 ·

It will actually run 4 on and 1 off. Not 8 and 2. BOINC WIKI ID: 649249 ·
