Observed that during Overwatch gameplay, CPU usage stays around 50% even though it's a CPU-intensive game. Is the game using just six threads? Your i5 11400f on Z590M Gaming X setup seems to handle it well.

High CPU consumption typically points to a processing limitation, so avoid this situation.

I wasn't aware of that. Appreciate the clarification. Mixing clock speeds and utilization is a common confusion.

When Vishera isn't the issue, focus on reviewing each core and thread usage rather than making assumptions. This can be done using MSI Afterburner overlay here: https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/msi...nload.html
