I have seen that the cpu only uses 1% in games, sometimes reaches 6% but it goes back to 1% and 0% too, i think this os not normal or is it ?

Is there something wrong with the cpu or something in the BIOS ?

If anyone can help or explain why this happening i would be grateful.

 

PC Specs

Ryzen 9 5350x

RTX 3080 10GB

RAM 32 GB 3600MHz

850 PSU

 

I play in 4K but even when i change for 1440p or 1080p the same happen, in low res should increase the use on the cpu but no same thing.

You haven't told us what games, or whether there's any actual problem with performance. 

Corps aren't your friends. "Bottleneck calculators" are BS. Only suckers buy based on brand. It's your PC, do what makes you happy.  If your build meets your needs, you don't need anyone else to "rate" it for you. And talking about being part of a "master race" is cringe. Watch this space for further truths people need to hear.

it could be the games you're playing simply don't have high cpu utilization,  or you're using Vsync...

generally its not a bad thing if cpu usage is low, it really depends on the game or application. 

The direction tells you... the direction

How's the performance? GPU usage?

The witcher 3 next gen update i read on other forums that the game have bad optimization GPU usage its on 80 85% sometimes go 95% very rare, on 40 fps  sometimes go down to 30 fps cant reach 60 in any settings or res.

On Assassins Creed Valhalla stays on 95 and 99% usage, 50 60 fps
