Hi, I'd like to ask the community about a problem I encountered just recently.

I noticed that my CPU Load was fluctuating randomly at IDLE.

 

Core 0, 3, 5 was Fluctuating from 2-3% to 45-90% Randomly at IDLE

while Cores 1,2,4 was just 2-4% Load at IDLE

 

and I also Noticed that my Temp at first was 45 deg Celcius at Idle, then I used an Electric Fan to directly Push air into the Case

(note: I removed the side panel)

 

Then the Temp was at 20-30 deg Celcius.

 

I also recently Overclocked my CPU from 3.3Ghz to 3.6Ghz, my FSB constant 200Mhz and my Multiplier from 16.5 to 18

But I reverted this back to 3.3Ghz.

 

I will be Upgrading my Mobo this coming Saturday from the Asus one to the new MSI 970 Gaming.

(note: I chose the 970 Gaming because I will be only doing a Single GPU config + its cheaper than the Gigabyte 990)

 

Question(s):
 Is there any problem with my CPU? or is it the CPU Cooler thats not functioning properly?

 

any Feedbacks is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Your CPU sounds to be fine. You might wanna consider cleaning your case.

About CPU load things. While on idle CPU goes from 2% to 10% normally because of windows/OS. The fact that you are getting bigger usage means that you have some background process doing stuff.

What program would you guys suggest, for me to check the detailed Services that are running behind my PC.

Task manager and Google work really good together in this. NZXT CAM is also nice to find programs thats use your resources but I would still use Task manager for it.
