Components:
CPU: Intel i3 8100
GPU: GTX 1050 2gb
Motherboard: ASRock B365M Pro4
Ram: 8gb x2 DDR4 2400 MHz
I recently changed my motherboard from a Gigabyte h310m A to the one listed above.
Since I made the change, I notice that the processor has more high spikes when I open programs, but I notice it mainly when I'm playing something.
The most frequent is when I'm playing Counter Strike Global Offensive: before changing the motherboard I never felt that I was demanding my processor, it never made more noise than normal, in short I never noticed anything strange. Now, looking at the task manager, when I'm playing competitive CSGO I get to be between 75% and 82% CPU usage, and if I transmit screen by Discord rises to 90% almost 100%. It is worth noting that although it has a lot of use, the temperature never exceeds 60 °C.
Also, when I am playing, in the Processes tab in the task manager, the "Power usage" is Very high. Can it really have something to do with the change of motherboard?
Things I did/didn't do:

Things I did/didn't do:
- I made sure the heatsink is properly placed.
- I didn't change the thermal paste, however this is about 4 months old and as I said before, prior to the motherboard change I didn't have a single problem.
- I did not format Windows after the motherboard change, although I do not think it is related because when I am in Linux with dual-boot I notice that the same thing happens.
- I did not update the BIOS.
- I updated all the drivers that were available.
