It's no problem as long as your cooling works. My G5 has been running on
100% for nearly 3 years now with Seti@Home and Einstein@Home,
The fans are running below 50%, but they rise significantly at heavy
downloads, HD movie veiwing or sorting of large newsgroups.
Similar story here, although most of the Macs I crunch with are G4s. My
dual-core G5 has only *not* run BOINC for a total of perhaps six hours
since I bought it, about fourteen months ago; its CPU temperatures hover
around 72°C, and I only notice the fans when I use the optical drive.
