Questions / CPU power draw changes when BT...

Last post by ElGuillermo - February 13, 2026, 02:30:04 PM

Hey !

I've noticed something quite strange.

As the CPU is crunching either :
- 1 (multithreaded) Primegrid llrPSP WU
- 8 (single threaded) Numberfields CPU WUs
...the CPU power consumption increases when I have the BoincTasks window on focus.
it jumps from 95W to 130W, and returns back to 95W the second I give the focus on another window.

The iGPU isn't used at all and there is no non-Boinc heavy task running in background.
Windows Task manager confirms BoincTasks uses a negligible CPU time.

It seems I only can observe this behaviour when I set a <ncpus> limit in cc_config.xml :
I usually downsize the threads numbers to half their real number to prevent hyperthreading.
ie : AMD 9800X3D (8 cores/16 threads) -> <ncpus>8</ncpus>

Using :
- Windows 11
- BoincTasks (exe) 2.0.0
- MSI Afterburner 4.6.6.16757 / RivaTunerStatsServer 7.3.7.28314 (to monitor temps and power draws).
- Boinc client 8.0.4

Can someone reproduce this ?

There doesn't seem to be a way of accessing the list of exclusive applications.

Wish List / Old school OK buttons

Last post by hucker - February 07, 2026, 07:15:26 AM

Do we have to have these ok buttons to press everywhere?  Most apps nowadays it's just changed as soon as you click something.  For example when selecting Boinctasks colours, I can change a colour and click out of the colour selector box, and the colour seems to be changed, but then closing the whole box of colours, it's gone!

Wish List / Can't open web links for SRBas...

Last post by hucker - February 01, 2026, 09:54:46 AM

When right-clicking on the SRBase project (or a task belonging to it) and selecting the "www" option, the internal pop-up window containing the project links fails to appear. No additional button is created in the taskbar, and the UI does not seem to trigger the window at all.
�Observations:
�This appears to be project-specific. The "www" menu opens correctly for other projects (e.g., Einstein@Home, World Community Grid).
�I have tried restarting BoincTasks JS via the system tray, but the behavior persists for SRBase.
�It seems like a script or parsing error occurs when handling the specific URL/XML data returned by the SRBase server.

Right and name is where the filters are.
You could either make the column narrower or move it to the end.
