Hello. I have been getting very frustrated about my CPU during gaming. I usually play valorant and my cpu usage will just rocket to 100% every time. Which causes my fps to fluctuate a lot while peaking at around 150. Given my specs, I dont think this should be the performance I deserve. I suspect theres some kind of cpu mining activity going on so I tried reinstalling windows ( wiped every thing by using the windows10 restore option ). Still getting 100% cpu usage. So then I wiped my ssd, tried booting with my hard drive disconnected etc. All did not work.
While gaming, my cpu is at around 75-80 degrees so I dont think it is caused by overheating either. I do not have much experience in PC stuff and most solutions online did not work. Changing energy preference. ... stuff like that.
My PC was not like this until recent months. Not sure what happened. Can anyone help?
Specs:
I7-9700k
RTX 2080
32GB ram
