Hi, I would really appreciate new limit of CPU use by CPU temperature.
I wish to set maximum temperature of CPU to 60 °C and the percentage of CPU time use limit would be automatically lowered when the temperature of CPU is higher than limit and vice versa.

This feature is needed especially on notebooks because their cooling system isn't really designed for permanent maximal use of CPU.

No need if you use windows... get TThrottle v5.10. It can interface with boinc and slow things down if your CPU(s) and/or GPU(s) get hot.

You can set the max temp for all the GPUs and the max Tjunction temp that a "core" can hit. Example an i7-2600K has a Tcase max of 72.xc, but a Tjunction max of 98. Since Tthrottle measures, tjunction, I set it to about 80c on my i7. I'm OCed up to 5.8Ghz on water cooling.

My GPUs are right next to each other and can EASILY go over 90c (especially the one with the fan right at the back of the other card). So I crank their fans to max. and put a temp limit in tthrottle to 85c (the second most NV GPUs touch the 100c mark, their life is cut short).

One thing that helps is I put my computers near the 2 windows in my home office and put in 2 15,000 BTU window AC units. I then rigged it so they would force their cold air right into the cases. Once that was done, heat was no longer a concern.

I still keep Tthrottle running in case someone in the house turns off the AC units :)

I've heard the Windows edition of Tthrottle runs on Linux under Wine.

No it can't, Wine doesn't support windows drivers.

Right. I must have been thinking of your BoincTasks app. That runs on Linux under Wine, right?

It does.
