First of all, my specs:
Gigabyte z170xp-sli, i5 6600k OC to 4.5ghz, 32gb Corsair ddr4, Gtx 1070 mini Gigabyte, Windows 10 (both anniversary's and creator's update), latest nvidia drivers (385.41)
I always played this game fine with stable 75fps (v-sync on), with no problems, ultra-settings, 70-80% cpu usage. Two months ago I started having nonstop 100% cpu usage and framedrops, stutters. It has been very annoying. I have tried everything you could imagine and only temporary fixes were obtained. There's no other app at task manager consuming CPU, only BF1. Temps are fine with maximum 50-60ºC.
Things I've tried: reinstalling the game, cleaning origin cache, uninstalled nvidia drivers using DDU, lowering graphics settings, created user.cfg files, undo of the CPU overclock and RAM, wiped out the harddrive and did a fresh install of W10, cleaned CMOS.
Temporary fix: I created a Windows User just for gaming and doing that normalized CPU usage for like 3 weeks and then the problem showed up again. Tried to create another user again, but never had that luck again.
I don't know what's going on, I would appreciate any help. Could the overclock damaged the processor? I did not encounter any problems like BSOD or freezing. Sometimes boot would failure, although they were rare.
