Set CPU Usage Limit For Specific Process And Get Notified With ResLoad Notifier

One critical resource you should monitor is the CPU utilization. When a process/application consumes much CPU usage, other applications will suffer performance. To help you monitor and limit the CPU usage of specific process, you can use a software called ResLoad Notifier. It allows you to set a notification that will be shown whenever a specified process uses more/less CPU than the specified threshold. Once installed, just launched the application and open it from the system tray. The main interface shows current CPU usage information along with all the running threads and applications. You can set an alert for a specific processes or accumulative CPU usage. From the Warning section, you can select either More or Less from pull-down menu and specify CPU usage percentage.

You can customize the notification and warning message in the Options tab. Under Automatically Set Warnings, you will have an option to Do nothing, Show application or Close application from After Warning drop-down menu. Once your done, click SET to apply changes.



From there on, when the threshold is met, it will alert you and perform any specified actions. It works on Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7. I tested it on Windows 7 x86 operating system.
