Hey,
I have been looking around but couldn't find any up to date info on this.
I would like to run SETI GPU WUs only. I have already tried setting CPU usage to 24% on my Quad-core but I am now still doing ane GPU and one CPU Task...
Thanks in advance!

While there are ways of doing this locally on the computer the easiest is to set your "project options" to exclude CPU processing.
Go to https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/prefs.php?subset=project and de-select the "use CPU" options, and make sure you leave the "use GPU" options set. After saving the changes you now wait for the next scheduled "BOINC system" update - a daily event, or you can force an update using the "update"button on the projects tab of the BOINC GUI.

Thank you very much! I am using BAM as well, does this automatically update to BAM then?

I just edited my preferences and Updated the Manager. However I am still running a CPU WU even after terminating the previous one

The project preference only makes sure you won't get CPU work in the future. CPU tasks still in cache will need to run to finish them, or be aborted. It is possible though that you need to change the project preferences via your account manager.
