Why is the CPU usage so high? i5 6600k

[Romano]

CPU and Ram @stock settings I'm experiencing stuttering on PUBG, when I open chrome cpu usage goes to 100% which is fine but my mouse lags while it happens, it didn't happened with my old i7 3770k

@Romano i've seen weird stuff with cpu usage when its choked for memory bandwidth. What speed is your ram (not saying you need fast ram its intel just asking to make sure). One thing is you have an insane amount of stuff open in the back close what's not needed. Did you get a new monitor to? im assuming that you capped your fps before or had a 60 hz and now are uncapped or at 144hz. (higher fps = higher cpu usage).

@Romano

if you add it all up it's gonna be 94%

 

you have too much crap in the background

Are your thermals in control?

Run a windows update, it can do that to you sometimes. Also pubg is super messed up when it comes to optimization. also is your os on an ssd?

idk how thread heavy is pubg but you changed from 8 thread cpu to 4 thread, it could be that?

yes, I disabled my OC and now my game performance is way worse

Main client on SSD and Test server on HDD, I'm currently playing Test server only I disabled my OC and now the performance is awful, so much stuttering, Impossible to play unless I set the CPU priority of PUBG to low, and even in that setting the performance is very bad, don't know what else to do

best thing I can say is run a windows update, shut off some items on startup and do a reboot. also check for video drivers and shut of dx12 in game.

I would also check for a bios update for your motherboard and also check for a chipset update for the board, unlikely but definitely a possibility that it could help

Found the issue, I noticed that 100% of the time that I opened Chrome the mouse would lag as hell too, for just a few seconds while it was loading up, I went and started closing everything in the Tray bar then went to open Chrome and Poof! no lag at all, I restarted and started closing one by one to see which one was causing the mouse lag, it was the SONIC STUDIO II from Asus, I closed it and launched PUBG resulting in no lag or stuttering

 

I'm downloading a newer version of audio drivers to see if they corrected the issue but I don't have much faith, I don't have to set the CPU priority of PUBG to very low anymore the game runs just fine, I will do more testing before adding OC again, but everything runs well IF Sonic Studio II is closed, which sucks because I really like the options it gives you, Music and in-game sounds are way better with it on.
