FYI -- Temporarily had to disable BOINC/@Home projects.
Running CentOS 6.7 64 bit, I noted that temperatures are *quite a bit* higher than normal. Temps which ranged in the mid 70s C for the past ~2 years I have been running BOINC were in the 90s C for the past couple of weeks. Having time to tshoot a bit, I determined that the issue was BOINC. Disabling ALL BOINC operations returns temperature to expected levels. I have BOINC usage levels set to medium range (having maxed BOINC once before long ago and burned out a power supply, I am cognizant of this setting). I changed no usage settings previous to this sudden temperature increase. After I determined that the issue was BOINC I went in and checked:. The BOINC usage settings I have online at the @Home projects were where as I had set them. I lowered them still more, but I know that the --update-prefs flag takes some time to trickle through (a quick reboot doesn't seem to really do it). I could disable one @Home project at a time, wait for --update-prefs to really update and check them one at a time (I may end up doing just that). In 24 hours or so I will enable BOINC again and see if the new usage level settings are recognized and result in lower operating temperature, but for now a heads up: that without any user change in usage resource percentage permissions, BOINC appears to be using more resources *to the degree that the result is :significantly: higher system operating temps*.
