8-Cores, feels like 2?

Thanks for all of the replies ^^, - yeah the time taken is pretty low, I'm doing a 6min video at the moment in Handbrake and its taken roughly 5mins, original was 16.5GB. Although, the one I was using when I hit 99% and 70 degrees was Aftereffects/SVP as I needed to mix some outtakes etc. But thanks for reassuring me that its normal for them to take as much CPU as they possibly can, I think it mainly worries me because I dont think I've had my MB/CPU temp higher than 45, so was worried it may overheat I guess!

Thanks for the help :D

That fx chip, won't cut off until it hits 85 degrees other than that you should be fine.
If the temp stays above 50 degrees for about 2 weeks or so and climbs up.
I highly advise you look into reapplying new cpu grease or look into a better heatsink fan first.

Keep this incase you dont have it yet, if you wanna monitor it when fully underload that will help you.
