CPU @ 100%

Try turning off your bitdefender during games, then it should stop?

No no, I was actually scanning the system to trigger the high load thing. As I said the Antivirus' not the cause, since I already tried using the PC with that turned off, but nothing changed.

Wait, don't you have a 13700k as shown in your first screenshot?

The problem is literally in front of you. Is that bitdefender?

CPU load is not utilization. utilization is a percentage between 0-100%. load is a numerical number without a limit. So you could translate a cpu with 2 cores and 2 threads to a load number of 2.0 which also means 100% utilization or an 8 core 16 thread to 16.0 load also equaling 100%. Heres where load is better than utilization, for example if the 8 core 16 thread is showing a load number like 25 then the cpu has 9 more cores/threads of work waiting to be used by the CPU and this is bad because the CPU can't keep up with the workload.

 

Follow the stack overflow steps, then you'll be able to work out if the processes are utilizing 100% of the CPU or if your processes are asking for more than 100%. You have 24 threads so a number under that is desired and a few over is fine, you just don't want it alot over, I like no greater than 20%, so over 28.8.

 

A well made process will only use what's available however if your running multiple heavy process' like a anti-virus plus a game it hardly ever works well together, antivirus are known for hogging resources, which is fine for web browsing, videos or office work but not games.

To help people understand, maybe post a photo running the game borderless windowed with the task manager open, to show process usage?

It's bitdefender and I was doing a scan to trigger the issue, but it behaves the same with all the other applications mentioned

Arctic AIO 240mm, I don't recall its exact name

I'll try following the stack overflow steps, but as I already said: this behavior is something new for this PC. 
A month ago it was using max 50% (if I wasn't rendering stuff or benchmarking it)
I made this PC A year and a month ago and it behaves like this only now

lmao how can you just turn your i7 into an i3?

Well the only real screenshot we got till now of your task manager is when BiteDefender is taking all your CPU. Take another screenshot when the real problem occurs again.

i3 was just a typo.

 

Anyways, I just found out what was going on!

 

Both boosts were on, so I tried disabling them.
I found out that was the storage boost using all the CPU!
Now that I disabled them both it works as usual

This was before turning off boosts

 

 

and this is now

Do you know for any chances why? was actually were doing those boosts?

I tend to stick to manufacture spec's. Is there even any gain from doing boosts, again i don't know would have to run a benchmark, but it definitely isn't worth your CPU cycles.

 

Glad you figured it out.
