    CPU running at 100% when im playing games

    Specs:

    Intel Core i7-8700K Processor
    MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Gaming X
    HyperX Predator DDR4 3200MHz 16GB
    Corsair RM1000i, 1000W PSU
    Corsair Hydro Series H115i CPU Cooler
    MSI Z370 Gaming Pro Carbon AC, S-1151
    Samsung 850 EVO 500GB 2.5" SSD
    Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5โ€™โ€™ HDD

    Problem: Basically my computer usage / CPU Usage is extremely high for most games and i dont get the FPS i should be getting. 100-120FPS on League of Legends and same on CSGO.

    Im playing Overwatch, suddenly i see my FPS drop down to 120-90. I check Task manager, CPU is up at 99%/100% and the only thing i have up running is chrome. I know chrome takes up CPU space, but with my CPU and computer, it should be able to handle it.

    And when im playing CSGO, League of Legends, Overwatch, Fortnite or any other game my CPU usage is around 90-100%.

    My computer is about 4/5 months old now. My computer is a beast and it should be performing without any problems what so ever, especially on a game like fortnite and its running 100% GPU Usage?

    CSGO i might understand cause its CPU demandin but League of Legends, giving me 100-110FPS and CPU running at 100%, with the computer and setup that i have? I dont understand.

    The Usage on games is extremely high, and ive downloaded MSI - X Boost, ANd command Center, and the rest of the programs and updated every thing. I have downloaded malwarebytes and CCleaner to check if i have a miner or something hogging up the CPU but it couldnt find anything. I dont know what the problem is or how to solve it. Any and all help is appreciated.

    Hello

    When playing the games do you have any software running in the back ground?

      Hello PandionHQ and welcome to PCHF.

      What are your temperatures when trying to run these games?

      You can check your hardware temperatures using HWMonitor - HWMONITOR | Softwares | CPUID

      Please attach a screenshot in your next post.
