So I have an Intel i5-3570 and gtx 660 running in my rig and as of lately my cpu will fluctuate between 20-50% when just idling, and when I start up say minecraft it ramps up to almost its max even though the temps are staying in the 40-50 degrees Celsius range while my gpu stays at low usage and low temp no matter what I run. Any suggestions? Im also running 16gb of corsair vengance and an intel 500 series ssd as my boot drive with a few mechanical drives for mass storage.

Just waiting for that next upgrade 

 

Current Build: 

CPU: Intel i5-3750

Motherboard: Asus P8Z77-V LK

Ram: 16GB Corsair Vengance

GPU: EVGA GTX 660 FTW

Case: Thermaltake Chase MK-1

Storage: Intel 480GB 535 Series SSD, Seagate 1TB

PSU: Corsair TX750M

 

Other Systems:

Dell Poweredge 840/2800 A.K.A Frankenedge or Frank for short 

Coming Soon....
