I use an application called Folding at Home. Basically, it uses your CPU to simulate protein dynamics. When I have the application running, my CPU usage generally lingers around 70-75%. Also, the CPU temperature generally stays between 60-65°C. Is it safe to keep the application running for long periods of time? Will that CPU usage percentage and temperature damage anything? Thanks
It’s still within safe range of temperature under load. I’ll say it’s okay, just give it a rest once a while.
