As above, I have a 32 thread CPU (9950x) and currently Boinc only seems to run one MW instance at a time, this hits a single CCD for whatever reason, pushes the temps into the 90's, is there any way to have one WU use all 32 threads, this should balance the load over both CCD's and stop the temps going so high?
I run a number of other apps on this CPU and only MW pushes temps that high, with MW suspended the CPU never goes above 80c, even Prime95 cant get temps that high.

Yes, you can set it in your MilkyWay@home preferences, however I have no idea how good idea it is to run it on two CCDs, the reason why it runs on one is the by far faster communication between the threads.

No idea though why Milkyway is heating your CPU up like this, for everyone else it's AFAIK by far the coolest running application. On my 5700G for example it's using around 20 Watts less than MCM from WCG resulting in about 10° lower temperature.

Actually BOINC should run two 16-thread WUs on your CPU if you allow it to use 100% of CPU cores. Considering your temperature issues, I'd however suggest to set that to 50% and than run two 8-thread WUs and see how they spread over the two CCDs and what temperatures you get.
