Folding @ home is keeping my computer room nice and warm.  So warm that it is going to help my pizza dough to rise!  Just mixed up the dough-- will let it rise a good 1.5 to 2 hours. 
 
 

Nah.

It's fine like this. 
Some companies - including Corsair now - pre-apply thermal paste like that, so it can spread out on its own.

Totally normal alright,
Like some have mentioned before me many companies pre apply thermal paste on their heat sinks so you don’t have to deal with yourself questioning:
”Did I put enough or did I not?”

Sort of, if you notice, the PPD will fluctuate if you do anything with your computer, especially if you have an NVIDIA GPU. The passkey is what allows you to earn QRBs (Quick Return Bonuses), which you become eligible for after submitting 10 valid WUs. The PPD is an estimated number of points you COULD get with your current hardware, at its current current usage by F@H cores, if it is fed WUs constantly and has no downtime.
 
Edit: Above assumes that you have F@H eating up every bit of your computer you can give it. If you have it set to medium, you may not see fluctuations if you put your computer under a light work load.

Mine is saying currently running at around 620,000 units per day.  Is that considered good?  I am just running off of GeForce GTX 1660 super GPU.  My processor (Ryzen 7 2700x) temperature gets in the 80C range when I fold with it-- I'm waiting on a replacement Wraith Prism fan to see if that helps, but scared to run the CPU at that high of a temp. 

Pretty cool concept.  Just signed up for this forum and for LTT team.  Bringing my GeForce GTX 1660 super.  Should be able to blow all you guys out of the water with this... haha.
