Rather than limiting the CPU usage to limit the Temperature, how about fix the cooling instead?

Claggy


I already have a laptop cooler under my laptop! :)
If only I had liquid nitrogen cooling, then I would run boinc 100% 24/7.. :D

No problem. Google for efmer tthrottle. TThrottle will do exactly what you want.

Is there a walkthrough for TThrottle, I don't seem to understand what settings to do, and all.. :(

Okay, I got your point, but what I am asking is, I don't want it to pause for some seconds and then run at 100% for a few seconds.
What I want is it to run at 10% the whole time. That way the temperature does not drastically increase and decrease. It remains constant. That would be more preferred by me.

Hey I just observed that BOINC, even if limited to 10% CPU usage, reduces the temperature to certain amount. But still whenever it runs it utilizes the CPU to 100% because of which the temperature shoots to around 80 degree Celsius.
What I fear is that this sudden change of temperature which keeps happening frequently may damage the CPU.
Whereas I also use folding@home, and what they do is, use the CPU at a constant 10% due to which the temperature hovers around 60 to 65 degree Celsius.
Which I think is ok.
Please let me know what are your opinions.
Thank you. :)
