throttle cpu by temp on folding@home

[hover389]

Is there a way that you can throttle your cpu by temperature not by usage

percent or number of cores in folding@home, because I dont want overheat my

cpu. I used BOINC in the past and they had a program called TThrottle which did

that but it cant be used for FAH

so i guess I found the answer to my own question, the program TThrottle can be used to throttle any program including Folding@home and not just BOINC by temperature, you just have to find the process you want to throttle and add it.

Is an aftermarket heatsink fan out of the question? You'll get more work units accomplished without the throttling
