So what has folding accomplished, havent heard of any cancers being treated or cured from this. Seems to be a money machine for the academia elite and sony.

re: cooling

In case you haven’t noticed, the PS3’s fans are temperature sensitive and automatically spin faster to compensate for higher heat levels in the system.

If the system is actually having heat issues, it will alert you before it becomes critical (flashing red light on the front).

I’ve been running Folding@Home all the time since it was first released, no problems with heat.

My PS3 sometimes runs 24 hour straight. I have it in an open area. My stand is of open metal and glass, no doors or cabinets. I also have a fan that not only keeps me cool during warm weather, but it also blows on my television and PlayStation 3.

I’ve thought about using folding@home but was concerned about the PS3 overheating or using up the life expectancy of my system. Should I have an external cooler connected to my PS3 to prevent it from overheating?

Oh, before I forget… It used to be that I could program Folding@home to automatically play my own saved music without my having to do anything but the initial settings. Now, if I want to hear my music I have to physically start it up…

But, I love my Folding@home, none-the-less!

“hi is it possible to put folding@home on the psp???”

Currently, the only way to do that is via Remote Play. However, it would be nice to do it independently. The question is, can the PSP handle the application?

I am sick of the freezing when switching from Life With Playstation to Folding@Home and my PS3 always restarts when exiting the application. So meh I don’t use it anymore… it’s a waste.

..oh, and please don’t add music. Preferably, please remove all music from the app. Music should be played from the HD.
