I'm overclocking and use HWInfo64 to keep an eye on that. If the 75% of CPU's setting (for 6 of 8 cores) worked ok for you (others report it working fine too) wouldn't that knock the overall temperature down? I don't know as I've never tried it but definitely worth experimenting with for a few days. A good halfway-house setting and more like what you were setting out to do in the first place it seems to me. I don't want to consume any more time and goodwill on the forum, but... Tried these settings for a day or so to compare of temperatures: Use at most 75% of the CPUs Use at most 100% of CPU time Turns out that on my system, 75-100 and 100-100 are identical as far as temperature is concerned, even in the temperatures of individual CPU cores. Another Rosetta task turned zombie. I believe, but am not entirely certain, that it happened during the 75-100 trial. So for this machine, it's strictly 100-100 at least until the next update of BOINC and Rosetta. ID: 80771 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

On the plus side, you'll be turning over more work ID: 80774 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
