A single CPU core or thread experiences significant performance issues.
A single CPU core or thread experiences significant performance issues.
Hello. I noticed one of my CPU cores acting oddly. While working on some assignments, I edited a photo. But when I sliced it, performance dropped significantly. I began tracking temperatures and usage stats. Temperatures were normal, yet the CPU8 thread was experiencing extreme spikes. Things got worse when I decided to play a high-V rated CS:GO game and adjust my crosshair opacity. The stutters appeared in the game as well, only during those specific settings changes. After another check, I realized the same core was the culprit and I couldn't locate a fix. System details: i5 11400F, RTX 3050, 650W PSU, G.Skill AEGIS 2x8GB, ASUS Prime H510M, Valorant 2022.12.04 - 14.59.55.01.mp4 Desktop 2022.12.15 - 15.04.51.02_Trim.mp4 All drivers appear current. Other games still struggle more. Please assist me!
