CPU usage at 90-100%

[heyitsgong]

So here's my pc

- i5-8600k
- Geforce 1060 SC 3gb
- G.skill ripjaws (3200) 8gb x2
- Msi Z370 gaming plus
- 1tb HDD Seagate
- Samsung 960 250gb m.2 SSD
- 750W Corsair 80+ Gold
- Cooler hyper 212 EVO

I get 90-100% when I'm streaming (pubg)
is there anyway to lower the cpu by upgrading some parts?

thanks!

8700/8700K for the extra threads for streaming.

Streaming is a workstation task and the more threads the better. As WildCard99 said, go with a 8700/8700k if you want to stream.

what do you think i should do with my old cpu, will it be able to sell?
its like a month old cpu

Yeah, it will be able to sell. But just because your CPU usage is at 90-100%, that is not necessarily a bad thing. How are your fps? How is the stream?

The extra threads of the 8700 will be a big help, but the 8600k is not slouch.

That was something I was wondering as well, just because the CPU has high usage isn't exactly a bad thing. The only thing I'd recommend going to a better CPU is if your having performance issues such as stuttering.

Steaming you want an 8700k, or better yet a Ryzen 7 2700x.

in game fps 100-110 in pubg on very low settings
stream is not lagging but once the cpu usage is at 100% some frames skipped and it lagged for 10 secs
I stream 1080 60fps
