Keep in mind that BOINC stresses your CPU and cooling system like no other application does perhaps excluding video encoding. I can't quite explain the difference in temperatures between 8.10 and 9.04. Are you sure that you haven't changed any BOINC preferences?
Otherwise, see my response in the following thread on the forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1137783 -- High CPU termperature while running BOINC https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/365016 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
