One of my Debian servers tends to go in (temperature-) alarm when I run any DC client. With FaD I could restrict the client to using 1 cpu instead of 2, and then it was ok (no alarms).

Is this possible with Boinc / Rosetta ?
If so, how ? ;-)

Yes, you can set this in your general preferences. There is an "On multiprocessors, use at most" option.

I have 10 systems on RaH, only 1 of them has this problem, so I don't want to restrict all systems because of 1. Is it possible to restrict RaH to 1 cpu on 1 particular system?

I kind of 'solved' this myself :)
Lucky for me, this "use at most" option is configurable independantly in any of the 3 location preferences (home, work & school). I configured 'school' to use at most 1 cpu, and send that particular server back to "school" :)
RaH is now running on 1 cpu, and the systems stays nicely below alarm levels.
