While it does produce some points, it's pushing my CPU over it's thermal limit when running other CPU projects and the Nvidia GPU projects as well. without the iGPU running, I can utilize my laptop much more effectively (and yes i'm moving to a desktop this summer).

Go to your preferences and un check the iGPU and no new work will be sent to it.

Sorry - Nowhere in computing preferences do I see an option to choose which GPU I want projects run on

Look at project specific preferences on the website of the project in question, not at BOINC Manager.

For this project, http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/prefs.php?subset=project will take you there.
