Thank everybody who replied to this posting. I ended up taking the simpler approach and just removed the CPU slot completely after allowing the existing WU to finish. Now there is no way a WU can start on the CPU. My power usage on this 12-core system went down by 100-150 watts by not running the WU...

Hi Jimbo, Thank you for the quick reply, and caution. Yes, I have clicked "Finish" for the CPU job (done previously), and I did not clearly state this in my response. In my short experience with FAH, I understand I need to use "Finish" to complete the active WUs, and prevent the ...
