Problem with my Intel Core i5 3570k?

[TheKoerby]

Hey guys,

 

I wonder if I have an issue with my Processor. The Problem is, that I always have a high load on it. I'd say 30% when ideling, but when I open Chrome it goes too 60% in no time. Sure I watch a lot of streams but after 2 - 3 Streams simultaneously it sits at 100%. I didn't had the problem in the beginning but now it is getting pretty annoying. Fresh Win 10 Pro install, still the same problem. My notebook handles it better even :D. It's clocked a 4 GHz.

Do some of you have the same problems? Or sit it just me. 

 

Greetings

As hardware gets old it slows down so it might just be getting old

Does it clock down when idle? Or is it at a constant 4 GHz?

It could be thermal throttling -> what kind of cooler do you have? When was the last time you cleaned the inside of your PC?

I had the same problem on my first PC because the heatsink/fan of the CPU cooler was comepletely filled with dust.

Temps are ok. Never over 50 degrees celsius. So I don't think it is that.

Naijin: constant 4 Ghz.

My cooler is a Dark Rock II from beQuiet!.

radical guild: I don't think that 4 years is old for browsing the internet  and I have the problems maybe for a couple of months (not in 2015).

My first guess was the RAM (8GB dual channel) but it never touches 100% - planning on upgrading it... so yeah. Nothing I can do about that for a while.

Then try a fresh Windows install. What does your task manager look like? (What actually uses the CPU?)

[TheKoerby]

Windows is fresh installed. Maybe 2 weeks old and it happends right after installing. I use chrome and i have like 10 or more chrome tasks. This readout is 3 tabs of chrome. One twitch stream, one e3 youtube video and linustechtips open.

Have you tried doing the same with another browser?

Yes. After I started the thread, I switched between chrome and firefox. And I have to say, that firefox seems fine. It sits 25% with the same tabs as I mentioned above (Firefox and Flash combined). So I will continue to use Firefox. I am pretty sad and annoyed with Chrome. Never thought that my browser will be the biggest problem for my setup. And I know that chrome is huge, but could never imagined this.

But nevertheless I am curios about people using the same setup: 3570K and chrome.
