hey,
I have a NVIDIA graphical card in my PC which is threatened to get too hot if stressed by BOINC (partially > 90 °C). This is a known issue for this card.
How can I disable the GPU and how to run the computations just on my i7 cpus?

kind regards,
HaWe
#define S sqrt(t+2*i*i)<2
#define F(a,b) for(a=0;a float x,y,r,i,s,j,t,n;task main(){F(y,64){F(x,99){r=i=t=0;s=x/33-2;j=y/32-1;F(n,50&S){t=r*r-i*i;i=2*r*i+j;r=t+s;}if(S){PutPixel(x,y);}}}while(1)}

GPU: how to disable?

Go to your Einstein@Home preferences and set "Use Nvidia GPU" to "No", save the prefs and in Boinc, advanced view on the task tab click on Einstein and the on the "Update" button to fetch the new prefs.
Any tasks already downloaded will continue to be processed but no new ones should follow them and if you don't want to run the already downloaded tasks then abort them to let the server send them out to somebody else.

thank you for your reply!
where can I find the update button? I don't find any.
(IMO the menu structure is quite sort of frayed... :-( )

edit:
found it, 1st menu btn: "Aktualisieren"
