Cheers man!

Just wanted to post my rig somewhere. I started building my pc back in 2015 and in the last 4 years I've been lucky enough to upgrade it into it's current state. Specs Lian li PC 011D MSI Z390 Tomahawk I7 9700K NZXT Kraken (Cable mod white sleeving) 16GB DDR4 3200MHZ Trident Z EVGA RTX 2080 Black 500GB NVME Crucial x2 Samsung Evo SSD 500GB Corsair RM750 PSU EZDIY Custom cables Corsair LL120 x3 LL140 x2 And of course Fallout dude

**UPDATE** After re applying thermal paste to my CPU, I no longer get temperature spikes on my CPU, Im still seeing 100% usage in my CPU from time to time in some games with GPU at basically 0 but temps stay below 70 c. I am going to chalk this up to the games I'm playing just displaying the wrong GPU usage because I doubt I'd be getting 100 plus FPS in Rise of the tomb raider @ 3440x1440p with below 20 per cent usage on my GPU.

The plot thickens... Borderlands 3 which isnt the most optimised game ever does not have the problem. GPU pretty much always at 90 usage and no cpu spikes.

Yeah Im still getting below 20 on my GPU and around 60 on my CPU. FPS in Farcry is around 90 to 100 which is not bad at all but my CPU keeps ramping up to 100 per cent for a few seconds then dials back down to around 60.

I have actually just turned this off in the nvidia control panel to try this but no luck. (Vsync off in game too)

Hi so Ive noticed that in quite a lot of the games I play my GPU usage is extremely low but performance doesn't seem to bad tbh. For example I was just playing Rise of the tomb raider and Far cry 5 and in both games my GPU usage was around 20 per cent. In far cry 5 my CPU would also get up to 100% usage every so often. First thing that comes to mind is a CPU bottleneck but Im pairing a OC'd 9700k and an RTX 2080... At first I thought it may have been CAM software just being weird but I checked in task manager for my GPU usage and It all matched up... Any idea what the hell is going on? Full specs i7 9700k MSI Z390 Tomohawk mobo 16gb DDR4 3000mhz DDR4 EVGA RTX 2080 Black EDIT just went back on Farcry 5 and my CPU usage is around 60 and my GPU is around 15. I also get spikes where my GPU remains the same but my CPU goes to 100.
