CPU bottleneck?

[cfrozer]

here are my specs:

CPU: Intel Core I7 4790 non k CPU usage is around 40-80% wile gaming 

CPU Cooler: Corsair H80i v2

Motherboard: MSI Intel Z97 LGA 1150 DDR3 

RAM: DDR3 16GB 1600MHz

GPU: Nvidia geforce gtx 1070 FTW by EVGA GPU usage is around 50% in all games 

Storage: 3x 2TB HDD and 1x 240GB SSD

PSU: 600 watt by POWER CO.( psu was from a pre-built system)

 

Is anything bottlenecking my gpu or cpu?

 

Note: I completely upgraded my system mobo/cpu/cpucooler/gpu/ram/etc. the only thing that is the same is the psu ( it did the same thing with my 960)

Turn up you settings? Sounds like the

 System is not being stressed much. What games?

Battlefield 4/3 GTA V  the division  Rainbow six siege  far cry primal  all max.

I have a ASUS VG248QE 144Hz monitor barley getting 100FPS on all games 

and i guess im a refresh rate junkie and cant stand the lower Hz

Do you have PhysX assigned to the GPU?

Turn up your settings, you're not dong yourself any favors by knee-capping your 1070.

You're not bottlenecked as the 4790 isn't at 100%.

You're bottlenecking your 1070 as it only hits 50%.

You said you upgraded your system, has the OS drive been completely formatted or does it still have files/drivers from the last build? I ask because it might be a software bottleneck, I`ve worked on computers where the bottleneck was coming from a memory leak or old drivers that were causing issues. Could also be something else in the background that`s taking up resources since from the specs you listened, you shouldn`t really have hardware bottleneck

I have some software installed on other hard drives drivers etc would i need to format all my drives? i did notice some asustecK stuff on my computer a system fan controller in the task manger

Its on auto.

Only the drive with the OS installed matters, doing a clean install of the OS when upgrading things like motherboard is a good idea since a lot of drivers that you don:t normally see is loaded when the OS starts up. These drivers optimize the hardware with the OS but if the hardware changes, using unsupported drivers with the wrong hardware could cause issues. If the asrock hardware is no longer in your system but the software is still running, then its using up your resources while you gain nothing. And that`s only the tasks that you see, a lot more are probably loading in the background if your still using the OS from the previous build.

Ok! going to re-install windows, post an update when done

Good Luck, make sure to update windows to the latest patch and download the drivers for your motherboard/video card from the websites online. Most likely the driver CDs that came with the hardware is outdated now.
