I just started Folding Team, and I've been running that and World of Warcraft and a few other programs alot; is it bad to be constantly using 100% of your CPU?
not really it could just be reading it wrong too cause I have a 2.8ghz celeron and when I encode something it says 100% usage but I can still do other things just not as quickly. I would only worry if your temps start to go up.
On dual core, maybe not. I've never seen HT processors go above 80% CPU usage, but I see single core and non HT processors run at 100% all the time. But I've never messed with a dual core processor, but I woulden't think it would be great, but at least you know you are using your CPU to it's full potential!
Not as long as your temps are good, and with water cooling I'd say you should be golden.
Someidiot, my HT processor is at 100% usage on both "cores" very often, particularly when I am encoding 3+ videos at a time (I often do batches of over 50!) or when I am doing several isntances of stress tests
And also...I was wondering if you could just run two different instances of [email protected] by having them in two different folders. And if you set the affinity using task manager...would that be the same as setting machine IDs?
