That depends on the cooling system in the case. If it was well built, 100% is best. If the system was poorly designed, a lesser setting will be required.

You could always try running it at 100% and if you start getting errors, you could always reduce it by 10% until the errors go away.

If it is a laptop, you might want to consider starting at 50% and watching the CPU temp. If it is cool enough, increase slowly until it gets to near the max acceptable temp.

Desktops tgend to have better cooling, and I would start the other direction. Start at 100% and if it is too hot, reduce.

Most CPUs and MOBOs nowadays have some method of reporting the CPU temperature.
