I noticed your Task Manager reports high CPU usage around 90%, while Hwinfo shows only 60%. It might be a discrepancy between tools. Check your system's actual performance with real-time monitoring software or hardware diagnostics for a clearer picture. Your 8700K at 5GHz should handle that load without issues.
View the Task Manager details section. The main screen and charts reflect an increased display due to the CPU's turbo boost usage. A 5.0 GHz processor running at 3.7 GHz adds a 35% inflation factor. 90% of that scenario equals 66%. This issue is more noticeable on mobile CPUs, which use a lower base multiplier but have a much higher turbo multiplier.
