Really High Cpu Usage.

[JimmyWin]

These are my pc spes.

Cpu : i5 4790k
Gpu : Gtx 970 Asus Strix
Mobo : Asus z97
Cpu Cooler : Coolermaster T4
Ram : Cruical 1600 Mhz 8Gb
Psu : Evga G2 650 Watt
Os : Windows 10

Idk whats causing this cpu usage to ramp up so high during games and streams. My friend has the exact same build but with a gtx 750ti and when he streams its usually only around 30~40%
while when i stream i see it hit 70~100%. Whenever im streaming of my pc its usually around 85~100% usage. Streaming off my elgato from my ps4 is around 60%~100% and just playing regular games im usually around 50%. So could anyone help me? Browsing and watching stuff still makes it sit around 1~10% but when im doing any kinda of gaming or streaming my cpu just ramps up to max usage so please help!

I assume you use task manager and process [all process ] amd look at the ones using up so much cpu then research what they are and do ?

I was thinking off the cuff if you use chrome it maybe a add on from it ? if the gaming is online as is the streaming ? the seeing its win-10 no telling with that thing

google win-10 high cpu usage and look at whats said of tips ?

Are you using h.264 codec to stream? It's supposed to use GPU I think.
Are you streaming at same bitrate and resolution as your friend? The higher the quality, the more taxing it is on your system. And you only have a quadcore.
