Now I'm operating at ~50C and normal fan speed with the same settings, GPU disabled.

Looks good for now. Thanks!

I have it on "run on preferences", set to use max 1% of CPUs, 1% of CPU time, GPU disabled. I'm at 55-60C temp and 3500 fanspeed (2000 is normal for this Macbook pro)

I also checked "Snooze GPU" on the menu bar icon and the fanspeed/temp is still high.

I looked at the advanced view and suspended the two GPU tasks, but they were already automatically suspended because 'computer was in use.'

Doesn't seem to help.

Activity monitor shows 8 SETI processes working at 95% of CPU each.

Activity monitor shows 8 processes "setiathome.8.03_x86_64..." each using ~95% of CPU.

After that its just excel/chrome, at under 5%

I suspended the GPU tasks in the advanced view but it didn't help.

Hi everyone,

I reinstalled the latest version of BOINC on the latest version of high sierra on a Macbook pro 15" 2017. I set the CPU usage to 1% on the BOINC manager preferences, but my fan-speed hovers at ~5500 and my cpu temperature is 70C+, as seen from SMC Fan Control.

Any idea what could be causing this?

Thanks.
