Ok, started running Seti a couple weeks ago, not interested in opinions on why i shouldn't do this, cause I am going to continue, I know they're out there, and this looks to me to be the best way to find the little green bastards, OK?
The point of this post however is this. My computer used to idle around 51C, when I play games, GTA3, DiabloII, Serious Sam, etc.. the temp would spike up to 54, every once in a great while, 55. Yesterday I get home from work, and after crunching numbers all day, the temp is sitting at 57C! Now, I'm not worried about frying the processor, I've got it set to shut down at 60, both in the bios, and with another program I keep running, Mbprobe, so I figure one or the other forgets, I'm covered.
I would think that the games I run are harder on the processor than Seti would be, but apparently Seti is doing some major crunching, anyone else notice this?
