Well, I'm sorry to see you go fuzbears - although in the three weeks you were contributing, may I ask as to what you did to try and resolve the issue of the cycling fan? (I ask, as this appears to be your first posting on this forum).

In the Device Profile, there are 5 settings which may have worked;
* Standard Settings: Set my profile to the standard settings
* Minimum Impact: Set my profile so that it will have a minimal amount of impact on my computer
* Maximum Output: Set my profile so that it will do the maximum amount of research possible on my computer
* Power Saving: Set my profile so that my computer's power settings can take effect
* Custom Profile: I will customize my profile using the advanced options and settings, and specify the science projects to run on the associated devices.

Also, there are other tools available that may also have "smoothed" the throttling out. One which I use, is TThrottle - and that, for me, works extremely well.

As I'm sure you're aware, there are many thousands of people who are not only contributing to WCG, but to the numerous other Distributed Computing projects that exist all around the world, and as such, there is a lot of help/advice that's available to resolve virtually any issue that may arise. Particularly so on this forum, as it's extremely active.

I hope that you reconsider your decision to leave, and ask for help/try different things out. You never know, they may just work
