I hear this a lot, and always figured the same. Really though, it doesn't make any real difference, unless I'm missing something (entirely possible
) since the throttling turns off as soon as the CPU use spikes. So, for example, when stress testing, it's maxing the CPU anyway, and the multi automatically kicks back up to the max. In this case, throttling doesn't really matter.
The only real way I can see it mattering is if you're doing "real world" stability testing where you just want to use the computer as normal, and see if it crashes. That's a pretty odd way of testing, but I guess if that's the way someone operated, throttling would indeed change that around!
