Folding Forum

If I were to create a batch file that terminated Folding@home using the taskkill command, would that be bad for it? Is there a difference between shutting the core down by exiting the command windows and using something like "taskkill /IM FAH.exe" or "taskkill /IM FahCore_a3.exe"...

None taken! How do you run the client without the tray icon?

Is there any way to configure or modify Folding@home so that it runs as a hidden service in the background and cannot be accessed in the system tray? Is there a way to do that or is there some third party program that hides it? Just wondering.

It just died. I'm going to send it in for a repair.

How much longer do you think it'll last (assuming I'm not running Folding@home)?

So the fan is shot?

Will me replacing the fan void the warranty?

If the fan does get 100% stuck or blows out, my computer will shut down (unless it freezes or locks up, in which c...

I'm not worried about overheating. I'm worried that the heat Folding@home generates will cause the fan to stay on high, and that that will burn it out. Is there a way to set Folding@home to only use something like 5 or 10% of the CPU so that it barely generates heat but I can still complete WUs with...

My laptop's fan started making a weird wobbling sound, like an RC car running out of batteries. The fan is always on, and most of the time at its maximum or second to maximum speed because of Folding@home. Do you know what that could be? My computer is fairly new (several months). I don't think it's...

Will using 1,311 MB for ReadyBoost improve Folding@home's performance? It wouldn't reduce its performance, would it? I have 8 GB of RAM.

Will this stress-testing application void my computer's warranty?
