Hello, your observations make sense. It’s normal for some CPU cores to run at 0% when using MSI Afterburner, especially during gaming. This could be due to how the software interprets performance data or other settings. Double-check your system settings and ensure you're not misconfiguring any monitoring parameters. Let me know if you'd like further help!

Normally acceptable, many titles run on a maximum of four cores, while others might handle up to eight (for multiplayer games)

Seems okay from what I see. Games can't utilize every core. With an Intel CPU, the scheduler might turn off E-cores to place the game on the stronger P-cores. If it's a 7950X3D, avoid using the second CCD without X3D or it could seriously hurt performance. The scheduler should disable it when the game runs. Your performance is still fine too.

It's only an issue if it requires higher CPU usage while not running.

Thanks everyone, I was expecting the community to be reliable. Occasionally I see all cores turn on during startup and loading, but while playing most of the time the game crashes to 0. P.S. My CPU is an Intel Core i5-12600K at 3.7 GHz with a 10-core processor. Cheers!

At startup Windows quickly starts numerous processes, including drivers, applications, and network tasks, which are spread across multiple cores. This leads to many components being independent. In gaming, many operations happen at the same time and affect each other, making parallel execution difficult. Additionally, games don't rely on your low-power cores at all.
