I'm tired of the non-granular nature of what I allow to run of my machines. Almost every project on my machine games the system and the client either doesn't know how to control them, or is complicit in their misuse. How do in uninstall BOINC, I'm tired of the games, and the thousands of dollars I've spent on my computers can be put to better use. That's besides the $50 a month in electrical usage that running those computers costs. me.

For that reason, and that reason alone, I ran the Collatz. It was the only software, that efficiently used all my hardware.
All other projects seem off, some even run it at 50%, causing it to throttle.
When I adjust to 2 projects per GPU, to run 100% utilization, I start getting projects that are even smaller, and my GPU still uses 50%. (think Einstein).
Which is why I disabled all of those projects.
Find the right project for your hardware.
There's plenty out there, outside of Boinc.
