[SOLVED] What's bottlenecking my system?

[Nuvardex]

My CPU usage has been quite high in games like Fortnite, whilst my GPU usage has been low.

In Speccy, I'm pretty certain that motherboard temperature is a bug. I've seen it before. Could this be because of my RAM, motherboard, CPU or GPU?

Only picture that works is the middle one. Please list your PC specs.

You can just click the link and it'll appear on Imgur.

Clicking on both the imgur links from the broken pictures does not work. They are broken because the link doesn't bring you to a picture.

Sorry.

First you are limiting yourself somewhat by running a single stick of RAM. I would suggest you buy a matching pair of 2400mhz RAM. Something like this https://pcpartpicker.com/product/y9rcCJ/corsair-memory-cmk16gx4m2a2400c16


What cooler do you have for your 7700k? Your temps dont look high just curious.

My cooler is a Corsair H100X Liquid Cooler

Like I said I would start by buying a dual channel RAM kit. Next your high CPU and low GPU usage isn't uncommon for CPU intensive games like Fortnite, CSGO, DOTA etc.

Is that 111C the OP's VRM or the chipset? 111C for that seems a bit too high if it's the chipset. VRM's can run that hot right.

Thanks for the advice. Why does dual channel make a difference?

The maximum bandwidth of the memory doubles, because both modules are accessed simultaneously.

Its Speccy so the temps probably not even close to accurate.

You're right.
