[SOLVED] cpu bottleneck?

[shadowcat777]

So this is my pc specs=
Asus PRIME Z370-P motherboard.
i5 8600k cpu.
gtx 1070 ti gpu.
32 gb ddr4 3200mhz ram.
2 ssd disks and 1 hdd.

I have fps drops in most of games that i play . a few games however works fine (GTA V. elder scrolls online. path of exile. wow. etc.)
I read on the internet that the GPU usage should be 100% which it isnt for me mostly. maybe in Rust it is something like 80-90%
but usually it can also be below 50% especially in GTA V the gpu usage is very low or not at all (maybe a reading error?)
My cpu however is all the time around 60-69% while playing games
so i wonder might it be my CPU is bottlenecking? also The i5 8600k should be good enough for my gtx 1070 ti. but since i get
drops in so many games something must be wrong. I do not get blue screens or crash in games. also my PC status says that its healthy.
i ve tried alot of things as well but they havnt solved the problem. recently also i ve experienced my OS freezing (windows 10.) which
causes the mouse to lag. this happens sometimes when im loading a program or a game. Can this also point to that its the PSU? and how do i check if its the PSU?
Would be glad for help.

That CPU responds well to overclocking, and without Hyperthreading the heat doesn't go past the rated 95W until over 4.7Ghz.

So all is normal?

Some of the Ryzen and i7 have a lot more cores, either physical or due to Hyperthreading. But with an overclock you can catch up to them. I would try that and see what happens.
