Should I fold on my laptop?

So I have a laptop thats pretty decently powerful, it has a 2060 and an i7 - 9750H, I want to fold to help out but the only issue is that when I fold the fans run at full tilt. Should I just not on this laptop or is that not really an issue? basically wear on the fans is what I'm worried about at this point.

Just fold on the GPU only

That’s what I’m doing right now and the fans are at full blast.

Thanks for folding with us. Make sure to join the LTT team! High fan speed is to be expected. As long as your GPU and CPU are at reasonable temps(around or below 80C) then its all good.

so not even with the CPU? Then you may want to repaste that laptop in the first place since it's not even drawing as much power as it does in games

 

Could use medium power instead of full

I am at medium power but Folding is using 100% GPU usage at max clocks right now which is why the fans are at 100% but yeah thats with the CPU not doing anything but the CPU and GPU share heat pipes.

Thank you, I am folding on the LTT team currently. And GPU stays below 80C with max fan speed but CPU stays in the 90s to 100 sadly since its a laptop and keeps the core clock at around 3.9Ghz.

Set a power limit on the GPU using MSI Afterburner, 75% or so should reduce the fan speeds.

 

Also, on the CPU side, disable turbo using ThrottleStop, generates a lot of heat for not that much more performance.
