To set it to fold when not on your PC you will need to set the slider to idle. To set a limit for the CPU you need to go into the advanced view and go into configure then the advanced tab and you will see a slider called CPU percentage usage. As for the GPU i dont know

As above, set it to Idle - the other thing you need to do though is make sure you have a screen saver come on. This is the Idle trigger FAH looks for. So after like 5 or 10 minutes, screensaver. Even just a blank screen. Then the CPU and GPU will fold.
