folding getting my pc hot

[Julian5]

my alienware m14x laptop (6gb of ram gt 650m and i5 3210m) hits 93º on my cpu and 80º on my gpu while on max power but  It only says 3325 points per day. It seems really slow to me. Anything I can do?

That's a dual core (assuming) mobile chip. That's a pretty bad cpu

the GT 650m is also pretty vad

i get ~40k ppd on a 3770k and 380.. 

Theres nothing you can do. 

 

Also so yeah it's supposed to be hot. I mean you're pinning your CPU and gpu usage to 100% to fold proteins.

That PPD Is WAY Too low on a 380. I am getting nearly 240K On a 280X.

oh, is it worth it then? how much will an intel i3 540 and a gtx 660 oc do?

 I've been folding on a 380/3770k for the majority of October 2015 to February 2016. Haven't been folding recently because I don't need the extra heat now  and I want to make my CPU last. It's 60 idle 105 load on minecraft.

Maybe better? Either way you're contributing to cancer research, fold on all devices!

JUST Fold on the GPU, go get a passkey, your PPD Will increase rapidly.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

will do, although I'll probably not be folding This summer.. 36c is hot enough.

most of the reason why I fold is because it heat my room  better than running fur mark and Intel burn test every night right?

Don't get too wrapped up on points, you're still helping out  I fold on my chrome book sometimes.

Since my pc gets to nearly 100º im going to just do it while im working and not overnight, but once I get back to my house I will have my pc on 24/7 and maybe a farm

I honestly wouldnt do that. 100°C is very hot and dangerous for your hardware. I like to support the science but everything above 90°C is dangerous territory
