High cpu usage and low gpu usage

[Janskai]

when i play games, it always stutters and it annoys me maybe because of high cpu usage and low gpu usage. cpu usage always on 100% but the gpu usage is at 30-40%. im using i5 7400 3.0ghz + gtx 1050 2gb + b250 mobo. i usually play dota2, csgo, overwatch and classic games that i think my pc can handle that kind of games. help pls

Your GPU shouldnt be causing a bottleneck on your CPU like that. Leads me to believe you are not plugged into your GPU, but rather your motherboard for video out.

Are you playing at the lowest details? Try turning it up.

But i did plug in my GPU for video output. Just checked it.

Yes I changed it to low settings after discovering the issue on some of my games. But I did not change the settings on overwatch and csgo which is the highest, still the same issue

Try to moniter the CPU heat, is it really high? Maybe the cooler isn't attached properly or thermal paste is bad. So it's overheating and throttling. 

 

Some games like CS GO are CPU heavy not GPU.
