AMD FX-8350 1st processor 100%

[Jovan93]

Is this common problem with CPUs? Every time my 1st processor is doing 100% (while gaming) all others (7) are doing around 60-85%. I need to do an affinity to get things back to normal, why is it doing this?

It's OC'ed to 4.630MHz, everything is stable and i have good temps. Considering that its air cooled.

Is it just with that certain game?

Many games have this issue, they tend to favor the first core available. Programs such as Microsoft Flight Simulator X does the same thing.

It shouldn't be affecting performance, if it is then thats something that needs to be looked into.
