Hello,
I am new to this forum but have read from it many a time. Over the past few months I have been running into the issue of very high cpu usage in all games. My build is an I5 6600k at 4.3ghz with a 1070 and 16gb of 3200mhz ddr4. My issue seems to differ for certain games. In minecraft if I load up a new world I can expect to wait 2-4 minutes to let my pc load in the world before I can make any smooth movement on screen (CPU usage is at 100%). When I play Valorant I see periods of low cpu utilization as well as many times of 100% usage. This causes my game to stagger quite aggressively and can get annoying. My 1070 never seems to get hot and never uses more than 40% as well as my cpu never gets hot but uses 100% a lot of the time. I have tried optimizing many things in and out of game as well as making sure no extra programs are open in the background. This issue is ruining any gaming experience I try to have and am now tempted to build a new computer but can't sell this one if it doesn't work properly. Any help would be awesome!
