[Ion] WCG Team Assistant Join Date: Sep 2009 Location: North Carolina, US Posts: 10,651 (7.93/day) Thanks: 8,239 Thanked 9,311 Times in 4,257 Posts System Specs	What CPU percentage do you run WCG at? I'm interested in seeing what CPU usage you run your rigs at. If you have multiple rigs at multiple percentages, select all ranges that you run, and feel free to post a list of what you have running at what percentages I'll start. I run at nothing other than 100%, even on the thermally challenged laptop __________________ Ion's WCG Essentials Thread Crunching (64 Threads + 896 CUDA Cores + 6272 Shaders): i3-2100@ 3.1 + HD7850 -- Atom D510 @ 1.66 -- C2D-M T9600 @ 2.8 -- i7-3612QM @ 2.8 -- i7-860 @ 2.9 + HD7950 -- i7-2700k @ 4.4 + 2xGTX470 -- PentDC-M T4200 @ 2.0 -- i7-920 @ 3.83 + 3xHD7770 -- DP Xeon E5420 @ 2.5 + HD7930 -- E1600 @ 2.4

It doesn't matter because WCG works in spikes... it goes up to 100% then backs off. The amount of time it stays at 100% is based on whatever percentage of your cpu time you told it to take. You might as well leave it at 100%, unless you're using WCG as a tool to cure thermal paste by creating lots of heat/idle cycles. __________________ My Heatware “Inb4 smartphone LN2 overclocking.” -radrok
