It's great to read these testimonials, and we love ProBalance too!

We don't have specific tuning tips for ProBalance since any good idea gets baked into the algorithm. However, it's certainly possible that some users can tweak it to better match their systems and usage, and if anyone has tips, we'd love to hear them.

Thank you for sharing!

I can't explain why the CPU affinity change is causing that effect but can say it's unusual.

You should run extended stress tests on this system to ensure hardware setting integrity.

Beyond that, the problem is likely related to some device driver. BSODs only originate from kernel mode code, so that's almost a given.

However, we just don't know. If you discover any clues, we'd love to hear it.

Process Lasso / 7950X3D: BSODs when setting CP...
Last post by wavy9728 - March 12, 2024, 12:23:46 AM
Fairly new to Process Lasso but familiar enough at this point to know the basics.

I saw one other person post in this forum regarding Firefox crashing and don't think he ever got a response.

My plan is to prefer frequency cores to offload most processes and free up the VCache cores for VR headset software, SteamVR, Games, etc.

For some reason Firefox and HWInfo cause rather immediate BSODs when changing affinity from None/0-31 to 17-31. Between 1 and 30 seconds. The browser starts crashing, then the computer BSODs.

I have absolutely no clue why this is happening, and dump files don't show much.

I've tried various SMU CPPC BIOS setting, tried CPU sets, and at this point am running without the AMD VCache Optimizer driver since I thought maybe there was a conflict.

Any ideas?

I also had this positive experience. Before, before installing ProBalance, my computer often froze when too many taps were turned on. After installation, this situation has improved.

Is there a way I can change the Power Plan dynamically only on certain disk usage?

Process Lasso v14.0 adds Named CPU Affinities, a feature that will help with navigating the CPU affinity submenus.

Process Lasso / Re: CPU usage 130%

Thanks JC,
Kinda interesting that Trellix is the only one kills the system when quick scanning. Mebbe a "bad coding" on their side.
But it's one of the best in protection wise, sure when properly configured, it's sure the best.
Well, while mdchield.exe fukin my cores, i can use firefox, slighty slow but thaks for PL, it was quite fluid to use.
Thanks JC for making this PL, its a lisaver, or even lifeSAFER. :D

Yes, the CPU Utility % measurement can exceed 100%.

CPU Utility % vs CPU Time %

There are multiple valid metrics to represent CPU use. The classical measurement is CPU Time %. This is the percent of available CPU time that the processor spent executing code. The newer measurement, CPU Utility %, is the percent of total computational capacity actually used at the current CPU frequency. It therefore takes into account processor frequency scaling and can exceed 100%.

CPU Utility % is used by Task Manager, and now by Process Lasso for the CPU graphs. An option allows the user to toggle which metric is displayed. Meanwhile, the process list still shows CPU Time %, matching Task Manager's 'Details' view, but not its 'Processes' view since that uses CPU Utility %. Process Lasso has always shown both metrics in its status bar, and that continues.

For more information on CPU Utility % exceeding 100%, see this page:

Process Lasso / CPU usage 130%
Last post by arcanum - March 05, 2024, 05:07:20 AM
Hello,
I just installed Trellix Endpoint Security.
In PL, i excluded all the Trellix processes, because some security solutions does not like PL because it "peeks" their processes and this causes intrusion alerts.

Trellix does use all the cpu power when manually doing quick scan. Which is a quite known problem of Trellix ENS.

Here's the question:
When quick scanning my PC with Trellix ENS. PL shows 130% usage and my CPU cooler is screaming like a hell, because of 130% CPU usage.

So, how it's even possible to get over 100% CPU usage, like 130%?
