Recently installed a fresh setup and noticed my CPU usage spikes to 60-80% during intense gaming sessions like Dota2 or League of Legends. The old system handled it better. I’m unsure what’s causing this increase. Check specs: 165Hz display, 1920x1080 resolution, G-sync GPU, i7-9700k CPU, 16GB RAM, 600W PSU. If this isn’t typical, look into potential bottlenecks or driver issues.

Check the Task Manager for CPU usage details.

2400mhz ram is great, but Dota 2 and gaming are both CPU-intensive, which is why

The typical games don’t usually need that much power. I’ve got to boost that one, sure, but still no way to use 60–70% of my i7 CPU, right? That’s pretty intense for a game like League.

It's typical behavior. Since the i7 9700K lacks hyperthreading, you'll experience increased CPU utilization.
