Hello, Thank you for contacting us about this concern. The consequences of a high usage of CPU (100% all cores) will be the following: A) You will not open multiple programs at once. B) Lagging Issues. C) FPS gets really lows. Pretty much slow performance of the system, may I know why are you looking for this information? Are you trying to accomplish an specific configuration? Please let us know the outcome in order to double check the information. Best regards, Emeth O. Intel Customer Support Technician. Under Contract to Intel Corporation.

Hello. It is because we have a cluster and sometimes there are users that use the compute nodes with 100% usage of cpu for several days, like this one: Our infrastructure is composed by compute nodes that contains these processors: • CPU ITEL X5670 • CPU INTEL 4650 • CPU INTEL 2695 • CPU INTEL 2680 For this reason I am concerned about that and I was reading this forum that says this, that’s why I wanted to ask you about that: Therefore, I understand that in our case, the inconvenients are not critical.

Hello, No problem, you are very welcome. Usually those processors are capable to support 100% CPU Usage on the cores. The processor will be affected in case of overclocking because it will decrease the life circle of the unit and it will cause an overheating issue as well. If you have any other question, please do not hesitate and let me know and I will be more than happy to assist you. Best regards, Emeth O. Intel Customer Support Technician.
