When I play games both gpu and CPU usage is fluctuates, gpu between 20-99% and cpu between 60-95%, my fps seems to drop by about 50% when the gpu usage drops
My temps are gpu 74c (r9 290 is a hot card so this is normal)
CPU is running at 78c on full load and about 48 idle, my CPU is quite hot it used to be around 84c but i replaced thermal paste like 5 months ago. I have stock cooler, think i should change that?
Bottleneck or just cpu to hot?
I have I5 3470 @ 3.2ghz
R9 290 gigabyte oc edition
8gb ddr3 ram @1333mhz
650w psu
