I recently installed the latest BOINC Manager (v 6.4.5) as a service and then attached it to my BAM profile. It downloaded the correct projects (per host entries set in BAM) but is NOT throttling my host's cpu according to the selected profile. I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling the BOINC Manager several times, but my cpu is still pegged at 100%.

Is BAM fully compatible with the BOINC service installation option?

As far as I know there's no compatibility problem with 6.4.5 and BAM, and I'm not sure why this is happening if your profiles are actually synched. One way around that is to set your local preferences through the BOINC manager. From the top menus, follow Advanced -> Preferences -> Processor Usage and set "Use at most xxx.xx % CPU time" to the value you like. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the suggestion ritterm. I was indeed able to throttle my host cpu via the local client settings in Boinc Manager. I guess that's the way it goes (for now) with Boinc service installations.

Thanks again for you reply.

Are your BAM preferences one of the allowed names (school, work, home) and did you click "Send preferences to projects"?

On a side note, I've been using a preference set called "default" and the projects don't seem to have any problems with that either.

You're quite welcome and I'm glad that's working for you.

Be sure to check noderaser's suggestion, too, if you haven't already. After reading his post, I now recall once having a similar problem getting different host preferences to "take". His suggestion may very well have been what worked for me.
