[SOLVED] I5-8400 running at 95-100% when I playing Conquerors Blade ?

[daviduck123]

I am using I5-8400 and running a game (Conqueror's Blade) at 95-100%. I also applied thermal paste yesterday, using thermal paste ID-Cooling (its been like 3 years).

What I don't understand is, when playing that game only, I got high CPU, is there a problem with my CPU ?

I read some other post, it is because I am using i5, is that true? (https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/cpu-constantly-hitting-100-percent.3485594/)

What should I do? I am afraid it will harm my PC, since I just recently bought RTX 3060 TI too.

Note :
I already checked my PC, windows defender is not running, no other antivirus applications (No Virus detected)
Only open Google Chrome, Discord, Battle.net app, steam app, and other default applications.

Running maximum usage won't harm anything, other than affecting performance with a stutter here or there, but long as temps are in check. Im not sure how cpu intensive that game is but high usage is expected in some games with your processor and others in the same core count.

What you could try is limit frame rate so cpu isn't trying to dish out so many for the graphics card. Cpu needs to pre-render each frame so see if limiting to some number helps. Also try move discord away from the primary core to another (least busiest core) with affinity in task manager. And don't run Chrome while gaming, allow as much resource possible for the cpu.
