I had something strange happen today. Like others I tried to use the Intel hardware acceleration feature but ran into high CPU utilization, high temps and significantly increased CPU fan RPMs. (yes - I removed my discrete graphics card prior to attempting this).
So I put my Nividia GTX 750 back in, turned off the integrated video and was expecting to go back to the serene, quiet server I had prior to trying this. I was wrong. My temps continued to run in the 68c range with CPU fan RPMs over 3500 (quite loud for my system which is extremely quiet - Fractal Design R4). To get things back under control I reduced my six cameras frames per second to 15 from 30 (1080p) and drastically reduced the number of frames in the pre-record frame buffer (I had 100 which I realize may be high but the system handled it fine. It is now 10). My current CPU usage ranges anywhere from 20-30% but I'm surprised that my CPU temp is still in the 55-60cc range given the fact it is pretty cold in the room. I wanted to see if anyone else with a 4770k running at stock 3.50ghz could comment on what type of heat and rpms they are seeing. My plan is to dedicate this box to BlueIris but before I make that leap I'd like to make sure I don't need to get a new CPU fan. The higher temps in summer will push the cooling system harder.
Some other specs - 16gb RAM, Writing to SSD with plenty of space left. Writing as BVR in 8 hour continuous files.
Thanks
