It doesn't help when I don't have a very good grasp of the Hardware mechanics of it. Thanks for trying to clarify for me! The thing I'm most concerned with in using the CPU for everything is most software including Handbrake I try, if I let the CPU do all the processing, each CPU core goes to >100% which is not good for the system for long periods of time and literally got 100s of DVD/BluRays I want to reprocess. I've always been told around 55%-65% on each core is acceptable when processing video. Any additional information you can provide would be most appreicated.
If you don't have effective cooling, maybe, but I've never heard of any reason to keep core utilization under any specific percentage. Are your temps an issue?
No, not so far. No crashes or anything like that. Someone somewhere just told me a good range for video rendering was between 65-75% core usage.
I can think of no logical explanation for that. Maybe if you wanted to use CPU encoding and use the system at the same time. But given how many cores systems have these days, percentages don't mean much. As long as you leave a few cores available, you'll be able to use the system.
If you don't care about that, let it go to 100%.
Even then you'd still want 100% with encoding running at a lower priority.
