[QUOTE="SKJoy2001, post: 447883, member: 50710"] This is a very helpful and in detail guideline on having permanent CPU affinity set with some program. However, my recent experiences makes me to realize that setting affinity is not actually that much practically safer strategy for a CPU hog application, it still risks blowing out one or more CPU cores. The closest and safest alternate is to limit maximum processor state in power configuration. I run media transcoding operations on a regular basis and my system is a Plex Media Server too, thus the system often undergoes media transcoding processes and it is a real pain to keep an eye on the system when I am not at home. Also, the affinity solution is not really that much practical for service controlled programs. The best I came up with is to set the power configuration to "High performance" with a setting of maximum processor state to 80% on main power line (it goes fine with 85% but I just reserved the 5% for other simple operations to keep within the margin). This way, the CPU hungry processes still run at their optimum performance without having me to worry about CPU over heat/load. This also sets me free from actually figuring out which applications should be throttled and which not. The peace of mind is that my CPU no more makes panic whistles and am sleeping like a trunk :) [/QUOTE]
