FAH and WCG are both able to use the CPUs to do their calculations and from a hardware perspective, there's not a lot of difference.

If you choose a FAH installation that uses the CPU, it will always default to one less CPUs that you actually have, reserving one to support the GPU. It's very likely that you should make the same choice for WCG. I'm not familiar which how you can configure WCG, but you do have 8 logical CPUs, and I'd recommend that you adjust WCG to use 6 or 7, leaving at least one to support the GPU.

(As you might expect, I believe that using all but one of your CPUs for FAH is a better use of your hardware than using all but one of your CPUs for WCG, but that's a personal decision and I respect your rights to decide whatever you choose to do.)
