Just leave it ... it will do all it has to, all by itself.

Welcome Stu

Welcome aboard Stuartw101, great to have you on the team!!

Just a quick addition to what Mucks has said:

At 100% it automatically sends the result over the internet and downloads the next work unit - if you are not connected at that time, then it pauses until you are - so its best to have an always on internet connection to get continuous working.

Cool, thanks for your help. Im expecting to be at the top of that list by the end of the month

Nah, im sure i will be at the bottom most of the time lol

Well, by the end of the month I excpect you'll be off the bottom of the pack ... at least.

Keep an eye on the CPU temp for an hour ... if all is stable, keep it running 24/7 and you'll be up the table in no time.

How do i check the temps? The CPU usage is 100% and PF usage is 631MB.

That is fine ... what MB are you using?

I use "Everest Home Edition" to check any Windows box ... but it ain't free anymore ... your MB should have a Temp Monitor on its CD ... failing that, there are other programs out there.

Seek and ye shall find ...

Thanks for the link

Sorry i wasn't ignoring your advice I posted the pic before i saw your post. After downloading Harware Sensors monitor and leaving it running for 10mins or so i took a screenshot for you.

The mainboard and HDD temp seems to stay the same and its the CPU 1 that changes along with cooling fans and voltages.

 

[muckshifter]

Looks fine to me ...

Mine is 40c ...

 

[stuartw101]

But why isnt the Mainboard temp changing but the CPU is?

 

[ChristopherP]

At least you don't have a red one. i dont even know what it means!

 

[chelseafc2005]

same here but i have two reds!well lol smoke aint coming out of the system so im not worying

 

[stuartw101]

Cool, i thought everyone had better pc's than me so if mine isnt in the red it must be doing something right I only have 3 fans in my computer, one at the back of the pc, one on the motherboard (on the cpu?) and a small one next to the pci=e card.

 

[muckshifter]

err, 'cos the CPU is an engine ... the harder it works the hotter it will get.

You don't want it around 60c though.
