PC Specs:
i5-4690k
GTX 970
20GB RAM
EVGA 500W
MSI Z87-G41 PC MATE
I bought a new 4690k to replace my old i5-2400. I bought a MSI Z87-G41 motherboard off a guy I go to school with for $50, some of the CPU pins were bent so I took a needle and bent them back into place and it seems to work fine. The problem is that I am getting roughly the same, or sometimes worse performance in games compared to the 2400, with MUCH more CPU usage. On idle I get 10-20% CPU usage, I tested the 4690k in Space Engineers and it went up to 92% usage and hovered around 70-80% while only giving 15-20fps, I used to get ~40fps on my i5-2400. Idle the CPU is at 25C, and under load it can get up to 100C, I am using the stock cooler. I'm just wondering if the problem has something to do with the motherboard or if the CPU is faulty.
Update:
After looking around a bit (like I should have in the first place) I guess I am supposed to reinstall my OS after a Motherboard/CPU upgrade.
