CPU 100% while gaming?

[Jeroen1322]

Hi guys!

 

When i'm playing BF4 my CPU usage is almost 100%.. 

 

I'm playing BF4 since the release but never had this problem 

 

 

CPU is in sig. 

 

What could be the problem?

 

Thanks!

Its just taking advantage of your six cores.

But i get low FPS.. so that's not really an advantage. And why now and not earlier? I didn't download a patch that could cause this

You get low FPS probably because your 270X can't handle the game at the settings you're trying to play at.

I could just fine on medium with 70 fps.. but not now

Yeah I wouldn't say your cpu being utilized is a problem it's designed for that as long as you don't have any heating issues I wouldn't worry too much about it. Not sure why it's doing that now instead of earlier unless origin patched it without you knowing like steam

Heat just fine it isn't getting warmer than 35*C but the low fps is bothering me, allot!

35C? WHAT? Is that thing water cooled?

[Jeroen1322]

35C? WHAT? Is that thing water cooled?

Nope, Just a giant cooler  

[shmurple]

So did you get better fps before?

[Jeroen1322]

So did you get better fps before?

Yes around 70 and now 30 or 20

Does it normally run at 35C, that seems awfully low even considering the cooler you have.

Jup when i'm doing nothing it is 14*C

That's interesting have you tried running it in windowed mode and pulling up task manager to see what programs are using the cpu and how much?

[shmurple]

And also is this just happening during battlefield 4?

I had Task Manager running on my second monitor (I know fancy right  ) And only Chrome and Spotify where the aplications i had opened as usual

[shmurple]

Hmm so is this just happening during battlefield 4? And have you looked on the battlefield 4 forums to see if other users have ran into this problem?

i would say overclock it more if its so cool.........., but then i saw what your motherboard was.

Haha i'm kind of a very bog noob when i comes to overclocking so even if i would have a good OC mobo i don't think i would do it.. Why is my mobo back for OC'ing btw?

asrock am3+ boards tend to have rubbish vrm's, so when you start putting the voltages up they throttle your cpu, even if its not getting hot. you could still see if it will do 4.2-4.4ghz though.
