But this isn't a laptop. I can't remove the battery.
Also, I never removed the battery on my laptop and the battery still lasts around 2 hours and 30 minutes.

noderaser,

Thanks. I guess I am going to run it 5 hours per day but pause BOINC and remove the charger in-between and see what happens.

Thanks

Have it standing on the edge, leaning between two widely spaced books, instead of laying down. It will cool better. Find out where the CPU is and then have that side furthest down so that the warm air can circulate inside, instead of pooling around the processor, which it will if you have the CPU on top. This is true only if it doesn't have any air vents. If it has air vents then the right solution is opposite to what I wrote now.

The SSD can also be worn out, so stay away from CEP2.

If I were you I would only use two cores, so to be on the safe side. 55C could be too hot for a thin tablet, but I might be wrong.

Enels, your tablet is 10", his is only 8". This means that there is less air inside his that can absorb the heat before it radiates through the casing. He will push his luck if he runs all four like you.

Here is a chart for: "The Intel Core M/Broadwell-Y fanless sweet spot for 10mm, 8mm, 7mm tablets."

That's for 14nm but it's the same principal for 22nm, only different numbers. The smaller the surface, the thicker it must be in order to maintain the volume of internal air. If it has the same thickness and smaller surface, like Falconet's probably has, it will either have to have a lower TDP processor or some of the cores turned off, unless the processor manages to throttle the frequency on it's own. But it's important to remember what Intel's and tablet makers' intention is: having users engaging in brief activities that stress the processor for brief moments, not for hours and hours. The CPU can probably take it, but I don't think the motherboard capacitors will. At least not in the long run.

The Z3740 is an awesome processor when it comes to energy efficiency. Too bad Intel doesn't want to make a similar SoC desktop version, but with 8 cores and hyper threading. I would be all over it if they did. The closest they have seems to be C2750 (8 cores and no hyper threading). This summer, when I tried to decide how to proceed with my crunching, I seriously considered 8-10 of C2750, but I didn't know how to connect them all to one single PSU since they all need to regulate the PSU for their own power needs. I didn't think it would be possible to just daisy chain the motherboards to one PSU. Or is it?
