Next is the "Processes" tab, which is used to set Processor Affinity. Processor affinity is
no longer used as heavily as it was in past hardware and Windows versions. However,
this menu can still be used to bypass the inter-load distribution of the CPU and always
set a certain CPU core or cores to run a specific process. The processes pulldown list is
a snapshot only of the processes in Task Manager when E-LEET X launches. Click the
"Refresh Processes" button to ensure the processes list is current before making affinity
setting changes, or if the process you want is not showing.
To set affinity, click on the pulldown button next to "Process Name." Select the
Process you wish to set affinity for; the file name will appear in the context menu.
The
final
section is "Voltages," which
provides a level of voltage control
similar to what is available in the
BIOS. Using the right image, you'll
notice that there are options for
multiple voltages, and two options
for your Vcore and Vmesh:
Adaptive and Override voltages.
Generally speaking, Adaptive will
allow you to tailor your CPU
voltage profile to keep voltage usage and heat to a minimum, while Override is more of
a brute-force method of setting your CPU Vcore voltage.
Finally, select which core or cores you
want to assign to this process and click
"Set" at the bottom.
