??? for toTOW

Seems as if my real question earlier was NOT correctly answered.
Some BOINC projects can work fine alongside F@H projects.Am running 1 of each currently on all 3 machines with no slowdown.
And if, as you stated, ABE#Home is not BOINC supported, then why do you have to download,install,and run the BOINC Manager to use ABC#Home projects?

ABC@Home is running on the BOINC platform, it has no independent client, like Folding@Home. So you must download a BOINC Manager in order to run the project!
And yes, it doesn't slow down the Folding@Home(I think the slowdown in my case(5%) is mainly from my roommate, who is watching youtube video on this computer sometimes)
So I personally encourage everybody with Hyperthreading enabled CPU (some Pentium 4, some Xeon, some Atom, and Core i3, i7, i9) to set a ABC@Home and run it with Folding@Home
Good luck!

Was running both, but discontinued ABC afterb seeing a sharp rise in temps. Went from 153F to almost 185F in a short period.
Never experienced any slowdown in performance,though.

Yes, HyperThreading is using much more power, so there should be more heat as well :ewink:
I have no problems so far with my 2 x HT Xeons.
Science matter :) Intel chips are very robust on heat (I have had a Celeron running without a cooler with no problem, with more than 195F temp, a few years ago)
Anyway, that's your chip, and your decision.
Good luck.
