... this is not the only project that has moved on from the older pc's and I don't blame them I'm just commenting
Older PCs, like this one?


No I meant 'older' as in older OS but yes the pc's have seen far better days, I have a couple of I7-47?? cpu's and I have have a dozen dual Xeon quad core cpu's that are off-lease business HP's and Dell's with the long rectangular psu's at the bottom of the pc and limited abilities for gpu's due to the low wattage psu's. I could put a standard psu next to the case and let it run everything and one day I may do that but not today


Don’t laugh, my first computer, the one I started running Climate models on back at the time of the BBC experiment, had only single core 1.2 Ghz processer and 256 MB of RAM. It took 8 months to finish one of those models.


It was older, it was running Windows XP

The problem has fixed itself. Asteroids@home has reappeared in the list of projects in the “Tools” and “add projects” list.

Why is asteroids@home no longer listed on BOINC. I tried to add to my new computer and it wasn't list.

In order to stop with the fan racing when you run Seti it will be necessary for you to go into “preferences” and lower the CPU percentage. This will control overheating and the fan can run at a lower and quieter speed.
