Yes, thanks for the suggestion, I am already using Process Lasso and it is a wonderful program. Unfortunately, I am not able to accomplish what I want entirely with Process Lasso + TThrottle.
My understanding is that scheduling priority for programs is mostly (only?) an impact when CPU time is a constraint. Since TThrottle works by reducing CPU time % allowed by a process, Process Lasso's priorities will not have much of an effect when TThrottle is throttling.
And as a background, the problem I am running into is that my CPU cooler is not sized adequately for my CPU, which is a problem I'm working to rectify, but I'm using TThrottle in the meantime.
With TThrottle, I have two options:
1. Throttle only BOINC tasks, attempting to control temperature of other processes (fishnet) by limiting the resources given to it.
Downside: possible to exceed temperature limits if I estimate the resources given incorrectly
2. Throttle both BOINC and fishnet simultaneously.
Downside: higher-priority background process has reduced CPU time along with BOINC. (Due to the above, Process Lasso has little effect in such a situation)
I would prefer a third option that would work similar to how GPU throttling is working:
Process set A (eg CPU BOINC tasks): Setpoint of 70C
Process set B (eg GPU BOINC tasks): Setpoint of 80C
Unlike GPU, which uses a different temperature metric than the CPU throttling, I wish to control both sets of programs with the same temperature metric, but with different setpoints.
Since my GPU runs cool enough that throttling is never needed, maybe I can spoof CPU temp as if it were GPU temp, and add one set of processes as if it were GPU processes and control it that way?
