Re: CPU is getting hammered but not the GPU?

I'm not worries about CPU/GPU temps as they're fine. It's the loads I'm worried about. A loaded system gets hot. An unloaded system does not. Are you saying that you're worried that Folding is loading your computer? That's what it's supposed to do. The heat generated shows it's working. Thanks for ...

aaahh thanks for this. Set my CPU to 5 cores as suggested and then set the power to medium and the GPU has now kicked into life. The GPU load is 99% with a steady temp of 68. Will this be ok? The CPU is now on a nice 45-48% load with a temp of 65-68 :D I only use this rig for graphic design and have...

CPU is getting hammered but not the GPU?

Hi folks, I've just started folding and if I set it to 'medium' the CPU gets hammered and I get warning that it's at 98% usage which isn't ideal as I don't want to fry it. If I set it to 'light' then it'll barely hit 40% CPU usage and won't touch the GPU? Is there not a way of stopping the folding p...
