So I started using Folding@Home the other day, and this morning I noticed it's only using ~85% CPU. Is it possible to have it running closer to 100%?

CPU: FX-6300 @ 4.5 Ghz MOBO: MSI 970 Gaming GPU: Asus R9 290 Direct CU II RAM: G.Skill 2x4 GB 1333 Mhz

PSU: Corsair CX750M Case: Enermax Ostrog SSD: Crucial MX200 250 GB HDD: Seagate Baracuda 1TB

If you set the power slider to full, it should use more of your CPU

 

Just bear in mind that F@H reserves a core of your CPU to help with the GPU

Specs: CPU: AMD FX 6300 Motherboard: Gigabyte 970A DS3P RAM: HyperX Fury 16GB 1866MHz GPU: MSI R9 270 OC edition Case: Sharkoon VS3-S SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB HDD: 1TB Caviar Blue PSU: Corsair CX500W

*If I say something that seems offensive, please don't take it seriously, it was most likely meant as a joke/sarcastically*
