SAFELY, as long as it has proper cooling of the processor! My CPU is at 40-45°C in FULL load and BOINC run continuously. *If you build your own configuration, be careful on the thermal paste! Just the minimum!* Solutions integrated to BOINC: By default, it runs after a certain period of inactivity. It is possible to modulate the load: - Limiting the percentage of CPU used - Limiting the number of cores used Solution using an external program: *****

IT CAN BURN OUT YOUR CPU (PROCESSOR) !!! I ran the BOINC installer with default settings - and my CPU temperature sat at over 182F (over 83C). I have the latest Intel icore i5 processor (CPU) and I checked the Intel specs and the MAXIMUM temperature of the case (outer case - or Tcase) is 162F (72C). This program ran for over a day before I installed ASUS Probe (a motherboard monitoring tool) which came with the motherboard on my PC. It was ONLY THEN I FOUND OUT THAT IF I KEPT IT UP FOR ANOTHER FEW DAYS MY CPU WOULD DIE. I mean honestly, I was lucky that (more or less by chance) I installed a monitoring tool not long after setting up BOINC WITH DEFAULT SETTINGS. My CPU idles at about 104F (40C) even while having P2P maxed out running 300 simultaneous connections and downloading about 100 at a time, so my hard drives are crunching - I have a 2TB drive for outgoing and 2TB drive for incoming files, while cy operating system sits on a third - I download about 50Gig-70Gig a day (in 12 hours offpeak) every day, and I have about 20-50 IE windows open at the same time as running other programs, my CPU ALWAYS sits in the 104F-110F (40C-45C) range. If you install this BOINC software MAKE SURE you monitor you CPU temperature !!!!!!!!!! I was lucky, because running a CPU at those temps can fry it in a few minutes - I guess I was lucky. I build custom rigs/computer setups from scratch, and this was a stock unoverclocked CPU in an OPEN CASE (I mean one side of the case is off as I'm always playing around with it). "

...pzrydatne informacje,dobra obsł.klienta.Wspaniała idea BOINC,dająca szansę internautą brania udziału za pomocą domowego PC-ta w poważnych i BARDZO WAŻNYCH dla nas wszystkich badaniach naukowych z różnych dziedzin,m.in.matematyki,astronomii,fizyki,medycyny,klimatu,etc.Do BOINC,czyli przetwarzania rozproszonego może dołączyć KAŻDY,bez względu na swoje umiejętności.To właśnie"genialna idea"BOINC.W Polsce zapraszamy do drużyny BOINC@POLAND.Stronę,pomoc znajdziecie w necie.Na prawdę WSZYSTKICH bardzo zachęcam.BOINC jest bezpieczny,i nie "obciąża" Twego kompa,ani go nie spowolni.Może stać sie to wspaniałą przygodą i początkiem...kto wie do naukowej kariery w przyszłości.

The BOINC (Acronym for "Berkley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing") software allows you "donate" your computer's idle time to process data for a wide range of worthwhile and important scientific and academic research projects such as: SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence), LHC (Large Hadron Collider), and Genetic Disease research. Donate those spare CPU cycles and, who knows, YOU might be the one who finds ET!!
