Rules
-
Be civil. Uncivil language, slurs, and insults will result in a ban. If you can't say something respectfully, don't say it at all.
-
No Unoriginal Sources, Referral links or Paywalled Articles.
-
All posts must be related to Intel or Intel products.
-
Give competitors' recommendations only where appropriate. If a user asks for Intel only (i.e. i5-12600k vs i5-13400?) recommendations, do not reply with non-Intel recommendations. Commenting on a build pic saying they should have gone AMD/Nvidia is also inappropriate, don't be rude. Let people enjoy things.

CPU Cooling problems: Just like 95C is normal for Ryzen, 100C is normal for Intel CPUs in many workloads. If you're worried about CPU temperatures, please look at reviews for the laptop or CPU cooler you're using.

This sounds like a simpler version of process lasso, definitely going to check this out.
I recommend using Process Lasso proper. It's not hard to learn and much more powerful. CoreDirector looks like Process Lasso's Efficiency mode/CPU set/CPU affinity rules repackaged into one on/off toggle for every listed app.
You can do more interesting rules with Process Lasso like keeping non-interactive applications off of the highest-turbo P-cores or restricted to E-cores to improve idle power. My 60/60/60/60/57/57/57/57 13900K idles at 8-9W with MSI AB, Discord*, Steam, and other apps banished to E-cores and never allowed to turbo the P-cores.
*Discord gets 57x P-cores 6 and 7 as a treat.
Are there any easy to follow tutorials to use Process Lasso? Last time I used it, there was so much to it it was overwhelming.
I am setting up Process Lasso now, would steam high speed downloads get nerfed being only on E cores?
"as a treat" lmao
mine gets 3-31.
(before you read further always start with a full backup or at least a system restore point) I disabled hyperthreading on core 0 and using Microsoft's Interrupt-Affinity Policy Tool I have set gpu and mouse usb port to Core 0 and 1.
I'm a massive gaming nerd and was trying to "min/max" dpc / input latency.
Do not use the Interrupt-Affinity Policy Tool to edit SSDs, it will break your os.
