Should I overclock?
Track every cpu core individually instead of just the overall usage.
Not every game (except very few) relies on all 12 threads at the same time. If 2 or 3 threads drop to 85-90% usage, overall CPU consumption will decrease by 7-10%. As mentioned earlier, you don't want your CPU constantly at 100%, as that could indicate a bottleneck. You definitely don't have one, and it's not something you should ever encounter with this processor. It's not feasible to achieve full CPU or full GPU usage at the same time without intentionally pushing the system through stress tests. Your setup is functioning properly as it stands.
