Possible to use GPU only ?

[Dicehunter]

I've been playing around with the F@H settings and even after removing the CPU from the list of devices F@H can use it seems the CPU is still used.

The reason I ask is that I want to leave my HTPC on overnight folding from just the GPU because if it's on the CPU to the fans kick in and at night it can seem very loud.

Usually a GPU folding process needs the support of one CPU thread/core depending on the CPU you have. I assume it's the 5930k mentioned in the signature. You can leave the GPU folding, but you have to expect to have one of your 12 threads under load. But I doubt that causes too many issues considering the CPU's power...
