at idle, the answer is yes

[AinsleyHarriot539]

When is your cpu reaching 100% usage?

What model is your cpu?

If the cpu is at 100% usage during idle then it is an issue and could be a result of possible malware or programs running in the background.

you will likely see lag, fps drops, frame stuttering etc with your CPU at 100%.
