| 1) Message boards : BOINC client : BOINC Consuming Memory and CPU
Message 2788 Posted 27 Jan 2006 by erik |
This is too bad. I'd like to use BOINC but I can't accept that it will max out my CPU to 100% and set my fan to the highest speed. Even with a newer computer it sounds like my machine is going to catch fire. It would be nice to have the ability to limit the CPU usage AND be able to use other applications at the same time. Without this feature, I'm afraid a lot of potential users will just avoid using the software including myself. Note that I even installed Threadmaster as recommended and couldn't even get that configured and working. And I'm fairly adept with computers. I bet there are millions of people that would love to contribute their computers to these projects if they didn't have to be so technically inclined to join and get it working without potentially burning up their PC. |
