Is it ok to change CPU rate limit of SID mid process?

cCS — Sat, 28 Apr 2018 12:24:43 GMT

One process in particular is using a lot of CPU (100% and raising temps to 95C) which needs to run for long period of time(~3 hrs). Using this https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2008-R2-and-2008/ff384148(v=ws.10) guide helped limit the usable bandwidth of CPU to 50%. But unfortunately it slowed that process considerably(~9hrs), is it ok if I raised the CPU rate limit to higher number mid process.

Also the process does not allow changing affinity or priority?

Thank you for joining the Intel Community Support.

Depending on the system you have, it may have a negative impact. Please allow me to gather basic information to provide a detailed answer about the behavior your computer experiencies.

First, what is the application/process that causes high CPU usage?

Also, please scan your computer using the Intel® System Support Utility. Follow the steps below:

1.Download the Intel® System Support Utility and save the application.
