The point is I have no idea of what is best for my systems. I myself would like to set a very high core temp. On the other hand my father thinks 60ºC and not more is OK. So, I think I'll use his opinion as a shortcut (better not tell him about this link I've just posted, because I suppose he'd drop from the initial 80ºC and then 60ºC to those 45ºC).

There is something that puzzles me:

with CPU @ 50/100 and TThrottle with 60 as the core temp on both laptops,
the core i5 goes to around 87% Running CPU
while the core i7 goes to around 13% Running CPU.
The core i7 is doing double the threads, but still 13% * 2 = 26% << 87% which means the core i7 is contributing much less than the core i5 to WCGrid.
Any clues for explaining this?

well, here's my main rig...not the fastest that I have...but the one I'm mostly using with X3230...Tjunc is about 100°C, while for nVidia it's 127°C!

so, here's how my Tthrotttle goes with 81°C setting:

my CPU runs 100% of speed on about 74°C, with 100/100 on BOINC...can check it out here:

if I put your preferred 60°C, watch what happens in Tthrottle (lowered to 60min time frame):

so the temp goes down...but also the processes, while I'm still using 100/100 on BOINC time:

So talk to your dad & show him the task manager & Tthrottle...to agree on what temp you want your desktop to operate!
As stated before, I use 81°C on my X3230 proc...but if I set it on 60°C, it will Tthrottle down to 20-40% of CPU use...when it settles to some temp, it will constantly use up to some % of CPU...for example on my old T60 laptop with T7600, it runs now on 50% of CPU with Tthrottle set on 80°C & 100/100 BOINC time!

Also, I'm against the use of BOINC time...why?
If you have some machine, any machine...& you do a "pump up - pump down", it will eventually broke...doesn't matter if it's a electronic circuit, switch of some kind or mechanical device...even though BOINC was made with that setting, I'm not sure it's a good thing to be used for a prolonged periods of time!
Now, if I use 100/100 BOINC time, while setting my temp at bay with Tthrottle (or any other program you want, there are also some)...then it gets constant use of some percentage of CPU...the heat is at bay, so you don't pump heat up & down all the time...stress is at bay, so you don't do a 100% in 1s & 0% in another to get a 50% of time used...& it got my CPUs & GPUs running for 2y in laptops, but after I fried some nVidias with SETi@home - decided 6m ago to use Tthrottle on Win desktops as well...
So it works for me...hope it also works for you!

if you need some more info, feel free to ask more...

I'm officially on WCGrid Strike. I will not allow any more new tasks on our three laptops before two conditions are met:

1 of 2: You can set a given target temperature for the CPU in a similar way that TThrottle allows for (the so-called core temp), but working at a microsecond level and in a way compatible with hyperthreading (either with a BOINC feature - which would be best - or a third-party application).

2 of 2: You can set the CPU to disable TurboBoost automatically while the laptop is idle (and using a good part of the CPU time on WCGrid) and re-enable it automatically when you start CPU-intensive tasks.

All help is welcome.

Thank you for your time!

Thank you for your input. I've already tested setting maximum CPU time to 99% out of curiosity, but unfortunately that procedure does not address either of the two requirements for me to resume work on WCGrid I've explained.

As I've said before, all help is welcome.

The reason I've not spoken about this earlier is because TM and TMG seemed to me not to be designed for Windows 10. I've opened ThreadMast.exe after unzipping it from tminst112.zip and installed TMG from ThreadMaster_GUI_Setup.exe, but I cannot find the TMG executable. How is it called and where is it?

Does TMG have integrated options to configure BOINC tasks' CPU usage or does it need special configuration for the recognition of those tasks? I have not seen TMG options before and so I have no idea of how to configure it.

And finally, does TMG fulfill the two requirements I've specified earlier?

Thank you for your time!
