i have a lenovo y720 cube with these specs 

Processor

Intel Core i5-7400 Processor ( 3.00GHz 2400MHz 6MB )

Operativsystem

Windows 10 Home 64

Totalt minne

16.0GB PC4-2400 DDR4 UDIMM 2400MHz

Storage

1TB 7200 +128GB SSD SATA III

Warranty

Two year Depot or Carry-in

Graphics

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 8GB GDDR5

 

when i launch almost any game the cpu goes to 100% and stays there      

and on simple workloads like browsing the web its at about 30-50%

also after 1 hour or so the backplate and the cables are really hot this is in an open room with good airflow so it became even worse when i moved my setup

is there anything i can do with this? upgrade the cooling? if so what do you guys recomend   its a really compact case

Ran a virusscanner yet? Friend of mine had the same problem-ish, but later found out his PC was loaded with malware and virusses. 

Check taskmanager to see which programs are using up so much of your CPU.

Use malwarebytes.

Nice looking case. 

 

But on the serious front -- the first thing of concern is that the CPU is running at or near 100% for your games.  That's a bit much.  As stated above -- it could be a virus or malware that is causing the issue.  Take a look through your Task Manager to see whats eating up all that CPU usage.  (Under details see what is using the CPU)

 

If its a hardware issue then you could be in a bit more of hot water -- I doubt that the system is designed to run as hot as you describe.  

 

Take a quick look inside your case as well -- make sure all the FANS are spinning and nothing is "stuck" or full of debris.  A fresh install of Windows is not a bad idea either.
