I belive there is something wrong with the utilization of CPU usage.

I have 16 cores total. Right now I’m running 2 prime search from mPrime. 1 at 4 cores and 1 at 4 cores and both PRP, plus Gmod. The CPU is at 80%. Then I run 1 prime from CPU-X at 8 cores plus a Gmod game and never goes above 95%. The temps are only 59c at 4.8 GHz of 5.4.

If I ran 1 project on all 16 cores from CPU-X or OCCT the process is at 100% at 5.4 GHz easy.

I can easily get 100% to run 2 at 4 core each and another in any order as long as it’s uses the rest of 8 cores on Windows.
