I7-9700K Usage/Temps in CS:GO

[Nickel16]

Hi guys,

 

i´ve noticed that my i7-9700k is suffering from heavy usage - and therefore also temperature spikes when playing CS:GO. Most of the time the usage is hovering around 25-40% and the temperatures are also fine - sitting between 57-63° C. (I´m using the Noctua NH-D15 cooler). Sometimes the usage spikes up to 80 and sometimes even 95% while the temps are rising up to 82° C. Obviously my CPU-Cooler fans are ramping up heavily if that happens. I´ve noticed that this issue also depends on the map i´m playing. On some maps it happens quite often and on others just from time to time. I should note that i´m not running any background tasks while playing and apart from this CS:GO issue, there are no such problems with the CPU when playing other games i.e.. I did also play around with the Graphic-Settings, but nothing changed. I´m getting around 250-300 FPS depending on the settings. I know that such high framerates do put heavy load on the CPU- but that much is concerning for me. 
Do you guys have any ideas why this is happening and whether it is normal? If it isn´t - are there ways to fix it? 

Thanks in advance!

Normal behavior. Also normal temps in my opinion.

Thanks for your reply! How are such big fluctuations normal though? Could you elaborate it for me, so i understand?

CS-Go is quite CPU intensive esp. if you want these high fps. Depending on how the map is designed, how much stuff is put into it , how many players, how many nades and gunfights are happening this can up your cpu usage. And as you know increased usage = increased temps = increased fan speed. 
The GPU is not making a huge impact in CS-Go, CPU is doing most of the work. 
Otherwise it's okay to have a high utilization, that means your cpu is working with all it got/ the game is using all its ressources. I am using AMD so idk about the temp. but as above mentioned I'd also say temps are fine.

You didn't mention your OC if you had one.   If your running base,  yeah you might have a problem.   If your @5Ghz,  well,  that looks like it might be normal.

Oh sorry, totally forgot. I´m running stock settings since i kinda lost out on the silicon lottery. My CPU will only be stable at 5 GHz if i increase the voltage to 1,4V+, which i´m not really comfortable with.
