hello i just started folding, when i have it set on medum. i see all most 100% CPU usage(checked with task mgmr). Is this right?  i have no problem with that just wondering.  i see on light its uses about 50% and the GPU gets turned off or paused.

100percent on medium? It should be at like 80ish I would think... Because when I run on high It fluctuates between 95-100%. And low is about 40-50%. Soo medium should be about 70-80ish right?

Is it bad that my dream setup only costs a few thousand not counting the obutto?

Medium is pretty much the same as full.

 

Yep.  For me on an i7 4770k Medium is 6 cores, Full is 7.  Only 12.5% difference.

For me, medium only runs one core on my i7 4790k along with the GPU. Full activates all the cores.
