[SOLVED] My CPU is under 100% under load

[flatland3r]

As the tittle suggests my CPU is under load. The temperature seems to be around 50-70C yet the CPU itself is 100% is this harmful for my device? Keep in mind it's only under stressful games such as R6 or Metro Exodus. Thank you

So the CPU is at 100% while gaming? Nothing wrong with that.

CPUs have a failure rate of about 0.05% that CPU will last "Forever" at that temperature even at 100%. It will be long obsolete before you have a problem.

70 is fine, a bit on the high end but reasonable. try dialing the oc down a bit if you dont need it.

70 isn't a bit high. 80 would be. I wouldn't dial anything down for this.
