    Will an Intel Q65 motherboard work ok with an rx 580?

    so my current build in an old Lenovo m81 with a gtx 1050 2gb stuck in there, but my friend said he would sell me his Rx 580 for really cheap. So I was thinking I would switch cases to fit the Rx 580 in, but, would the Q65 mobo play nice with the Rx 580?

    what are the causes for high CPU usage?

    what factors could possibly cause a cpu to have a high usage? is it purely up to the tasks running at the current time or can other factors of the cpu change this such as clock speed or temperature? honestly it's quite a basic question yet there are no easy to find answers as far as i can see.
