Ensure full processor utilization for optimal performance.
Ensure full processor utilization for optimal performance.
Do you possess all your cores and threads? 6 cores / 12 threads? Personally, I’m not convinced there’s a CPU bottleneck. A 12400 shouldn’t hinder a 3070 at all. Something seems off here.
Here the performance overview, CPU details, and a view in the lower-right corner. You'll notice "cores" and "logical processors." For me, it's an 8-core / 16-thread CPU. For you, it's 6 cores / 12 threads.
Your GPU is not running and its temperature is at 72°C. This suggests a serious airflow issue inside the case or faulty fans. Download hwinfo, run it quietly in the background, then launch a game for five minutes. Open the sensors section, use the arrow keys to view all details, and capture a screenshot with the snip tool (shows clearly). Share the results here.
Are you wondering? Yes, the Task Manager often gives an inaccurate reading of GPU usage. It’s also conceivable someone is switching tabs to capture the screen and then the GPU load appears lower.
When the card is under stress but still shows false activity in TaskManager 72c, it's actually a positive sign.
Everything looks fine so far. I’ve included the screenshots for your reference.
