thought I'd start a new thread as suggested on this topic...

For those that haven't heard of it, it's a program which limits CPU usage.

I know people who use it to regulate BOINC so that it wont use 100% CPU so they either dont cause overheating etc

Ototero, did you play with it? It's all gotta be fiddled with in the registry.

Found this on the website as well...


CPUThresholdPct
CPU load threshold per application. This is a global setting and affect all applications, unless other settings are defined in the "Application" or "Exceptions" sections.
Default: 15%, Valid range 3 - 100.


Will have a play when I get home. :D

You could always use badapples, a bit easier to play with and it has some extra features to boot ('scuse the pun!).

Drehza, I did fiddle with it, but when I didn't get the desired results, I couldn't undo anything, hence the reboot.

Blackheath, I'll try these bad apples.

I recommend Igor Arsenin's Task Info software. The registered version allows you to adjust priorities. Here's the link:

From Predictor@home:

% of time BOINC client is running 99.559 %
While BOINC running, % of time work is allowed 99.9333 %
Average CPU efficiency 0.974177
Result duration correction factor 0.5795

So, what is wrong with letting your computer go all out?

A question I thought of the other day...

Does here anyone use Peltier Effect cooling technology?

I hear of water cooling and fan cooling used quite often, but I was wondering if anyone was moving heat via electron flow.

I mean, Folding let's you choose the amount of processor used. (well the text only client does) and thats good. It offers you the choice. BOINC doesn't

ANd TBH I wasn't going to use it for BOINC, I was going to use it for one of those crawler/link checker programs and force it to not use to much CPU so BOINC isn't affected ;)

BadApples wouldn't even install properly, kept looking for files in the wrong place. Very badly written.

Trying TaskInfo now. I'm suffering from data overload, it shows everything possible including the core temperature of the sun :shock:

It showed dnetc and Ud sharing the cpu 50/50.

Then I added moneybee and it took 99%, no matter what I did to TaskInfo, I couldn't make MB lower it's share of the cpu. :cry:


Oh well, I tried.

My system seems to regulate the fan speed based on thermal feedback. Every once in a while (about every 10 minutes) I hear the fan speed up for about a minute and then slow back down.

I suppose that when I hear the fan speed increase and not slow back down it will be time to crack the case, clean the fins and fan blades.
