Does anyone do this? Long ago when I got my 1st dual core (E6300) I remember assigning my encoding to one core & the other applications such as the web browser etc. to the other. TBH I'm not really sure if it improved the performance or not but I used to do it anyway as having more than one cpu was still a novelty for me 
I was fiddling about with my current system, encoding on 3 cores & affiliating the remaining one with the web browser & office applications as I was typing something up while listening to streaming music. Now other than getting cooler overall temps by giving the warmest core (core 0) least work to do, I can't really see what benefit there is for using the option to affiliate cores.
Just wondered if anyone uses this feature & if so what for.
