1) Message boards : BOINC Manager : Limit Work By CPU Core Temperature (Message 91134) Posted 18 Apr 2019 by KenMitchell Post: Thank you! That appears to be exactly what I was looking for. With my 8-core i7 Dell PC, I set the max CPU usage to 60%, then down to 50%, and it was bouncing between 45C and 65C, and I figured there had to be a better way!

2) Message boards : BOINC Manager : Limit Work By CPU Core Temperature (Message 91107) Posted 16 Apr 2019 by KenMitchell Post: How about a configuration option to dial down the computation speed or amount of CPU usage if the CPU reaches a preset temperature; for example, 60C. I've just reinstalled BOINC after a long hiatus, and at anything over than about 50% CPU usage, the core temperature starts to rise. The hardware monitoring software I have on this machine will tell me what the temperature is for each core, and I'd like to prevent things from getting too warm.
