Just curious if there are any adult webmasters out there who donate CPU time to projects such as Seti at home (
http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/) ?
Just a quick FYI, Don't run their software if you use an iMac.
I use to let their software run on a few old PC's I had years ago and thought I would fire it up for use on my iMac. Less than 5 minutes into it, my machine was COOKING it was so damn hot. I didn't notice that the fans had kicked into overdrive trying to keep it cool because I had headphones on. Sure enough the CPU temp was sky-high and the GPU temperature was climbing fast too.
I googled it and found that the temperature was still well within tolerance and wouldn't have fried anything, but I'm pretty sure running this software would lessen the life of my computer. WTF, Seti? Geezuz... It doesn't get close to this hot playing Flight Simulator.
Anyway I killed the software and ran fan control for a few minutes to cool my machine down.
