Low load is about two thirds the draw of full load, but that’s more than enough to matter. I’ll probably combine it with other techniques. Some motherboards can vary clock rate and CPU supply voltage by software (ASUS has Ai Booster which can vary it continuously from within Windows). In some cases I could precalculate a significant number of frames ahead (when people are not touching the touchscreens) and put delays in all but the render thread. In this I’m already even assuming that the circuit is independent so it can be hooked up to 208 V at the breaker instead of 115 V, which luckily appears to be the case in most locations.> Message: 8

I have multiple large screens and computers in a unit that has

by not having
the CPU/s load at 100%?
