CPU Intel i7-4930k (default clock: 3400MHz), HT switched on, hence 6+6 cores.
Mainboard ASUS P9X79WS. 32 GB RAM. OS: Windows10.
When crunching grid computing tasks, I usually run five 2-core tasks of a given project (so 10 out of tatal 12 cores are being used).
If the Turbo Mode in the BIOS is switched to "auto", it yields a CPU clock of 3600MHz, and in the Windows Task Manager, total CPU load is shown as 92-93%.
If Turbo Mode is at "manual", the CPU runs at 3900MHz, and the total CPU load is shown as 98-100%. With temperatures still okay (due to a heavy duty cooler: 65-66°C - Tj.Max is 90°C), and power usage also okay with ~ 104W (TDP=130W).
Still I am somewhat worried whether the CPU might suffer when running at it's limit permanently (24/7).
What's the opinion of the experts here?
