I'm stress testing our CPUs at 100% (before overclocking, just to test the test) and.. how the hell is our system still 100% usable when all four "cores" are pegged??

How the HELL is our system still responsive.

And it's only at... okay now it's sawtoothing between 64 and 70°C. Why is it sawtoothing. It should be locked at 100%.

@frostwolf why wouldn't it be responsive? you're not blocking those cores, the scheduler will simply make time for every program that wants to run on your CPU

@noiob ...or maybe I'm just thinking of when we run out of RAM and subconsciously going "running out of CPU should do that too".
