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. |
