Hello!I have an intel i-5 4670k.When i run a game the cpu gets up to 90%-100% and sometimes lag my game.The only apps opened are discord and steam.Is it ok to be like that or is something wrong with usage?My max tem is 74C.
 

when i open lol client(just the client not in game),gta 5 ,in black ops 3 i have constant lag spikes.I just changed from radeon r9 290x to gtx 1060(i uninstalled the radoen drivers and installed the nvidia recent ones)is it probably from this?(i changed nothign to bios)
 



What do you mean by lag exactly?

What happens if you run VALLEY or HEAVEN?

What's the CPU usage?
 
So in gta and black ops i have 70C on cpu.I mean by lag that the frame rate drops.In gta i don't have lag is working pretty smooth,but in black ops i can't play is moving in 20 fps.I also have a 144hz monitor.Im getting now the valley.Cpu usage is like i said 90-100%.
 


Open task manager for the CPU usage for now we are worried about what is using all of the CPU.

VALLEY has OSD built in for GPU usage when you run it.
 


Download and install MSI Afterburner and setup the OSD.

Run GTA 5 and see what the GPU and CPU are while in game.
 

GPU:57C,54%
CPU:71C,94%
