I have a amd fx 8350 with a asus m5a78l-usb 3 motherboard i am having ping spikes on 2 games when playing online the 2 games are Counter strike Global Offensive and Team Fortress 2 these are the only 2 games i notice ping spikes on.

i have been having these ping spikes since i upgraded from my amd fx 4100 to the 8350 and im also wondering if my motherboard is bad for this cpu.
i have turned of cool n quiet in the bios and the turbo option is disabled any help with this one guys?
 

Once when playing csgo i alt + tabbed and seen that my cpu usage was 100% and i was having a ping spike at that moment of time so please explain why that was.
