Normal CPU Usageduring Video Playback?

[virtualTune]

My Cpu Usage is at 95% when watching videos like the WAN Show. No other tasks running in the background. That doesn't seem right! Any idea how to fix that? ^^

it could be something to do with your overclocking.

unlikely, the cpu is clocked at 4.5 at the moment

Watching the WAN show on my 2nd display right now, my CPU use is hovering around 25%

Typical usage during flash video or streams depends on the quality. But watching contect from my HDD if it's 720p or even 1080p results in really low cpu usage because the GPU renders it.

[virtualTune]

watching in "source" res, wahtever that is. appears to be 1080p. Could it be related to the on-chip graphics. Could that be disabled?

Are you sure your not folding, or some other background program is running. What browser does one use?

could be that you are badly infected with some bloatware or some other crap, but that usually wouldn't be THAT agressive, you are running something very intensive that you forgot about or you screwed up the overclock, either way something is horribly wrong or unstable, watching the wan show and playing diablo 3 i get like 20% cpu usage.

 

could try having a look at this. http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/90213-malware-removal-guide/

wow you are right! I was folding. You may have just solved my low fps problem as well.

Watching the WAN show at 1080p, usage is at 4%. Idk, man. D:
