[SOLVED] CPU running at 100 percent while gaming

[fowlick]

I'm having a problem with my PC, when I try to play PUBG or Fortnite my CPU usage is high around 85-100%. The games run smooth and i have no issues.Games settings are high and i get 100+ frames.Is this normal to have high CPU usage.

CPU - Intel I5 8400

Motherboard - MSI Z370 GAMING PLUS

RAM - 16 GB DDR4 2400

GPU - EVGA 1060 SSC 6GB

Power Sup - 550w

That's what you want. Some part always runs at 100% unless you artificially limit frames

Yes, this is normal. If you start playing your games at a higher resolution such as UHD (3840 x 2160), you'll see CPU utilization go down as the GPU becomes the bottleneck. There is ALWAYS a bottleneck somewhere and that's normal.
