Logging CPU usage over long term (every five seconds for a month)
In order to use my memory at its rated specification, my CPU has to be overclocked and this also means it has to be over-volted. I don't want to change the CPU cooler if I don't have to and I'm trying to find out how much time my CPU approaches 100% to find out whether I need to consider it.
If I use a stress test (OCCT), the maximum permissible temperature is exceeded after about 150 seconds and the test aborts.
I have set up Performance Monitor to log % Processor Time every five seconds so I can find out if it ever hits 100% in practice and if so, for how long but I would also like to know what program is using the most CPU time and don't know how to include that information in the logging. Ideally I'd only record which programs are using over, say, 20% and only when CPU usage total is over, say 70%.
