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.
That's bullshit. There's no reason to limit or target a specific or non-maximum CPU core usage.
That would only make sense to evade hardware faults or cooling issues. Never as a general guideline.
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.
A good range for CPU utilization is 100%. Same for memory. Anything less and you’re wasting your computer, letting energy flow through your components and degrading them without much benefit.
Thank you for the helpful information! Sounds like I got some bad information in the past. {not from here} lol
