Using VirtualBox, it works like a charm !

But what is FaH looking for ?
Heavy CPU, but not so many as possible
or
Plenty of CPU with some low power ?

If FaH was able to manage CPU load, I could ask my friends to install it on their computers, but actually, I will not.
And I also removed FaH from my 5501... I only run it on 2 olds computers… I think there is a large quantity of CPU compute lost due to FaH not usuable for personal computers.

Take a look at VirtualBox, You can adjust CPU load from 0 to 100%... Slider in FaH should do the same…

Alexbelu, you understood perfectly the issue. FaH is not actually designed for laptops… And if it could manage CPU load correctly, it could be used on many more standard laptops and could be installed on many more comuters ! @Pantherx My Laptop is a Dell 5501 Core i7 CPU, not a basic laptop, and eve...

Alxbelu… You are right ! FaH is not designed to work on laptop, and I think many users remove FaH due to high CPU load / bad CPU load management. Using a VM, I can manage the VM CPU load so I can continue to use FaH in the VM, otherwise I would remove it from my computer. In fact, next enhancement s...

I found a way…
A VM with VirtualBox… And in VirtualBox settings you can adjust guest CPU load from 0 to 100%

I think that FaH should really update CPU management to be compatible with actual procesors.

FYI, My lapteop is new… ANd cooling is very good (3 cm above the table) to get a good air flow. Even if CPU monitor is not accurate, the fan never stops and is very Noisy, means that CPU is heating, means that used cores are very busy… So it seem that Windows monitor is not so bad. I will do more te...

I set 3 CPU... It should be 25%

--> It is 37% @3,6 Ghz !

Hi ! Thanks for replying. I already tested thoses values, but in this case, the CPU frequency increase so much and the average load remains around 50%... I don't want to burn my computer with folding process… I do not find any solution to decrease the load on my CPU... I think this issue is similar ...

Hi ! I'm running V7.5.1 fresh install on a Windows 10 64 Dell LATITUDE 5501 laptop with an INTEL Core i7-9850H CPU. What ever I set low or middle CPU load, the average computing load is still 50 % CPU, so the fan is continuously active and computer comes hot and Noisy. http://www.autourdupc.com/5501...
