Running Application that has both CPUs at 100% BAD??

[aaagat111]

I am converting my video library (that is currently all .avi files to .mp4 files) and am using Handbrake to do this for me.

Each video/tv show takes a WHILE (1-1.5hrs) to convert, and also has both my processors running at 100% the whole time!

If plan on running many many of these jobs...but am wondering if any part of this process (specifically having the processors at 100% for extended periods of time) is bad for the computer in any way? Should I do something different?

Thanks,

Alex

Nope, it should be able to withstand it perfectly fine.

It's what they where designed to do.

Suggest you install smcfancontrol to ramp up your fans to help keep it cool. I ramp mine up while using handbrake or video editing. My settings are around 900 rpm's. Works great.
