[SOLVED] CPU usage nearly 100%

[Jimper]

Hi,
So my i5 9600K is running at nearly 100% when gaming with high settings at 1440p.
I'm still getting about 75/80fps and the temp is around 60/65C.
Is it normal for the CPU to be running at nearly 100% or is it best to lower a few other graphic settings in game or cap my frame rate at 75fps?
is there an ideal spot for the CPU usage to be, like around 80%?
I've a 2060 Super.

Thanks for your advice.

If the system temps are fine and you're getting good performance, then you should not worry about the CPU running at 100% while gaming or performing demanding tasks.
Why wouldn't you like your CPU to run at 100% ?

I’ve ordered a second monitor just if ive a few other programs running would it not effect stability etc? Thanks

The stability issue is related to running other apps (tasks) while gaming and that it is normal on a 6-core CPU.

Thanks. I've limited the FPS to my monitor and seems to have helped.
