CPU usage.

[Demm]

Hi, I am not sure if I am right, but I didnt noticed it before, atleast I didn't look for it. I am using 4690k and i noticed from my Core temp that I am Idling at 31C, but when I open Google Chrome, more specificly a webpage the CPU speed jumps to 3.8GHz and the CPU max temp goes to 43C. Is it normal, I am not sure, just from opening web pages the temperature to get 10C more and to use almost full boost?

Can you check if you notice that in your systems, just to be sure that I am not the only one. Someone with hanswell processors who have Turbo Boost, as the 4690k has.

Yes, Chrome uses a surprising amount of cycles and I believe stops the CPU from resting (or at least did) even when the cycles were going to waste. When I end up with my 100+ Chrome tabs I'm usually pegged at around 40-50% CPU utilization across all cores.

WHAT DO YOU USE 100 TABS FOR?!?!?

^^^ CS:GO doesn't even make my cpus turbo boost, but chrome does lol

I sometimes go up to 160 and then run out of VRAM. I just tend to not close windows, open new ones and forget about them.

It uses up my RAM rather than my CPU actually
