Folding urgent help!

[Julian5]

I recently started folding on my alienware m14x laptop (6gb of ram gt 650m and i5 3210m) since im on holiday and cant use my main rig but even on max mode It only says 3325 points per day. It seems really slow to me. Anything I can do?

That sounds about typical for a CPU.  Does that ppd including the video card?  

 

Even with the relatively low end 650m (compared to average video cards these days), I would still expect it to generate 15k to 20k ppd.

Hey Pete,

 

Since yesterday the ppd seems to be going higher, I am now on a total of 9k ppd and yesterday I was on 3k. I think I will stop though since my cpu is at 100% load 95º and my gpu is 100% load at 80º and thats a bit too high for my liking. When I get back to my house next week I can set up a farm.

does sound about right. i don't think it is very recommended to fold on a laptop unless it has very good cooling. i don't think they are meant to run 24/7 under full load

I honestly wouldnt fold on a laptop because the heat is enormous
