Question Should my PC be maxing when playing Warzone?

[SamdalabonaHD]

Hi Team,

I just built my brother a gaming PC and we are experiencing a few issues.

1. Whilst in the in-game menus, CPU is at 67%, GPU is at 99% and 10GB of RAM is being used - Is this normal? Feels like too much?
2. Game is lagging out random points and the PC is getting very hot.

The build is as follows:
Ryzen 5 3600 with Wraith Cooler
16GB Corsair 3200Mhz RAM
500GB M.2 SSD
AMD 5700XT 8GB GPU

I have built PCs before but this is my first "Gaming build", don't think there is anything wrong with the build specs.

Can anyone offer any advice? Any checks I should be running?

If any additional information is needed please let me know.
Quite weary that I have built the PC and it isn't running the game as smooth as I thought it would.

Thanks,
Sam

What resolution are you running?
If I remember correctly in that game you can select the maximum FPS for while in menus, try setting it to 60.
Is the RAM 2x8gb?

Its being played in 1080p on max FPS - I can drop the FPS BUT I thought on a new build, it should be good to run at max?
RAM is 2x8GB, can easily add in 2 more but didn't think i would need to.

Thanks

I might be wrong but I think you can choose a different max FPS for while in menus and for while in game. No need to be pumping out high fps while in the menus.

2x8gb is plenty, I just wanted to check you had dual channel. Also mixing 2 RAM kits could cause different issues.

What pc case?

The PC Case is an MSI Mag Forge 100M.....do you think this could be a potential cause? I definitely wouldn't of thought so?

I added in 3 additional fans as well for cooling!

What are the actual cpu and gpu temperatures when gaming?

Not too sure, how would I check that?

You can use a program like MSIAfterburner to record this and other information while gaming.
