How do I know if my cpu if working correctly

[jkrules22]

Ok so I have a fx-6100, and I feel theres something wrong with it because of the cpu usage programs take up. Im using a runescape bot called simba and when I run 2 windows of simba it shoots my cpu over 50% I remember a month ago when I frist got this cpu I was running 5 or 6 simba windows at a time and it was using mabey 70% max. Im not sure what to do, if its broken or what. Please help

Check your temps to make sure its not getting too hot. If it overheats, it will downclock itself to cool down and can make programs use more power than normal.

My temps are fine, I got a liquid cpu cooler

Hi

If the computer starts and runs.... the cpu IS working properly....

Check its running on ALL cores in the bios..... and check temps again....

All the best Brett

Having a liquid cooler doesn't mean temps are fine. If its not pumping the liquid properly or has too little water it can adversley affect cooling capacity.

Still if you feel the temps are fine, have you checked any benchmarks to see if the CPU is benching normally?
