I think this will take all the way to 2027 or 2028 if not more people are participating.

Also, is it normal to have a GPU hotspot of like max. 101°C on the Sapphire Radeon RX 7600 XT 16GB Pulse while computing one task?
Airflow through my Computer Case should be enough as it no longer feels like an oven anymore after replacing the old junky chassis fan with the ARCTIC P12 Pro A-RGB.

It is always more stressfull and heat producing for a gpu to do compute loads instead of its intended sole graphics processing functions.

Also people are always upgrading their gpu's so each task will be slower than one done a month, 2 months etc from now. Not necessarily by US but by someone with the money to splurge on a new for them gpu and then the tasks get done faster.

I'd recommend taking the side panel off of your case allowing better airflow. In my old system I was running two GPU's and without taking off the side panel my computer would overheat and crash while processing BOINC WU's

It felt great in Winter but I'd sweat through Summer.

I`ve started to repaste my GPUs with a new MX-7 thermal paste from Arctic. That drastically reduces temps on the Hotspot and GPU itself.
