https://einsteinathome.org/host/12818634/tasks/5/0 This is my older system. I did clean out the dust, because it was overheating. I haven't had problems for months now. Should I remove it from boinc? Is it causing problems for Einstein@home and the other projects? I haven't noticed long running tasks, like my other computer. Should I free up CPU threads on his system, if I Einstein tasks are completing?
Personally speaking no computer is too old for Boinc as long as it crunches!! I use a dual core system as my OS test machine but I recently put a 1080Ti gpu in it and it even though it's only using one cpu to crunch a cpu workunit it's does them consistently and reliably. I leave the second cpu core free to feed the 1080Ti gpu and it's banging out tasks very quickly!!! Now to be honest the machine does not do Einstein tasks, I want failry short cpu and gpu taks and other Boinc Projects do that better for me for that machine. I chose short tasks as the machine could have a brand new OS loaded on it this morning and a totally different one loaded in the afternoon, long tasks slow me down waiting for them to finish.
