does anyone run any of the grid projects, like einstein@home, rosetta@home, set@home, etc, on their thinkpad?

if you do, do you worry about the extra cpu heat generation? have you throttled back the app settings or used nhc to reduce heat?

I do run Rosetta when it isn't in use and not on battery. My X32 hasn't had issues with heat, as it is almost always docked in the Port Replicator or the UltraBase when it's being charged.

i used to run seti on some tower machines i had a few years back, but i've held off on any of my laptops. maybe i'll get back into it. there are a lot of interesting projects going on these days.
