Hi all,
In order to protect CPU, it could be useful to program an auto-stop security for Boinc. If the CPU temperature goes over a too important temperature (80°C for example), Boinc has to stop to work. And when the temperature comes better, Boinc works again.
Thanks.

It would be nice if it could. Unfortunately, there is no standardize way temperatures are reported by moderboards, Bios, or OS.

Boinc V 7.4.36
Win7 i5 3.33G 4GB NVidia 470

As already said, there is no standard way to find out how hot a CPU is due to the differences in motherboard design, chipset design and CPUs. In order for BOINC to 'know' this, it would have to look at what the operating system reported that the temperature is.

Usually it can be set in the BIOS that if the CPU gets to be a certain temperature, that the PC goes into hibernation or shuts down. That's the only thing to reliably use.

Cleaning out the computer regularly is adamant. Especially when you live in an already dusty environment or have pets, you will have to clean out your computer fans and heat sinks on a regular basis.

Hi,
Ok, it would be difficult.
I'm not sure that all bios proposes it, but I will test if my bios proposes it.
But there is the libsensors : http://www.lm-sensors.org/
So it would maybe be at least possible for Linux OS.
Thanks
PS : I propose that for non-geek user, who don't clean their PC :)
