CPU Utilization at 100 percent no matter what

Hello, I have a Ryzen 9600x, and 9060 XT 16 gb. I have updated all my drivers for GPU, and motherboard. Before the REDSEC update I wasn't having this issue, CPU was sitting between 70-80 percent i b...

bbd44d408533bada I see 3 issues with your HWiNFO system summary screenshot.
First issue is SMT is disabled on the CPU which is reducing CPU performance by around 25%.
Core is showing 6/6 in HWiNFO and it should be showing Core 6/12. We need to figure out why SMT is disabled in motherboard BIOS settings. There's a BIOS setting called 'SMT Control'. Set it to 'Auto' and then check HWiNFO Core and see if it says Core 6/12 instead of Core 6/6.
Is I Ryzen Master software or Asus software installed on the computer? Maybe they're disabling SMT.
SMT Control is on page 57 of motherboard BIOS user manual.
I've attached high resolution screenshot at bottom of this post.

Second issue is the memory is in single channel mode, instead of dual channel mode. Dual channel has double the memory bandwidth and boosts CPU performance.
Page 14 and 25 of the motherboard user manual shows the proper motherboard memory slots to use. Install memory in slots A2 and B2.

The third issue is EXPO memory overclocking isn't enabled in motherboard BIOS settings. Try enabling EXPO I memory overclocking.
Sometimes EXPO memory overclocking can cause crashes. If you start experiencing crashes then personal message me and we can troubleshoot memory overclocking crashes.
Page 17 of Asus motherboard BIOS user manual has AI Overclock Tuner EXPO I setting.

bbd44d408533bada yes high CPU usage is normal for Battlefield games. It's a very CPU intensive game.

Powerful graphics cards will cause the CPU usage to increase, because the CPU feeds the GPU. If the GPU is rendering at a high framerate of 200fps, the CPU will also try to render at 200 fps which will increase CPU usage.

You appear to be using a custom user.cfg . I recommended removing it because it's causing individual CPU cores to hit 100% usage which causes the game to stutter. You can see the stutters in the client frame time (CFT) blue line. The line isn't smooth and is jagged like saw blade teeth. CFT is your framerate.

Removing the user.cfg allows the game to balance the CPU load across all the cores and prevents single individual cores from hitting 100% usage.

Please post another screenshot with the user.cfg removed and disable all frame generation so we can see the actual framerate and performance of BF6 running on your PC.

I cannot get over 200fps without using frame gen I9-14900KF, 64gb DDR5 skills 7200 running at 6800mhz as 4 stick, 1500 watt psu and palit RTX5090, custom bios , top 1% in 3d mark and Cinebench R23, even Battlefield 2042 used to run 300fps without issues on Ultra no up scaling my cpu temps are 60 degrees and gpu the same im CPU bottlenecked at 1440p , the simple display shows my gpu at 400fpd and cpu 200fps and that's what im getting on game whats going on here, the random crashes either just game or full computer shut down i had perfect performance during beta , the game is unplayable, shots missing and fps drops, random round black circle like a telescope in game , no other game has been like this , top teir rig and streaming laptop 12.5k , getting cpu bottleneck and all these issues after spending £100 on a game whilst console players are fine having a great time, now I don't even want to game as i only play this and BF2042 which has been unstable since bf6 was released. Any answer ea ?

THRUDARKSF running 4 sticks of RAM at 6800MHz might be causing the crash. 2 sticks of RAM might be able to run that frequency. 4 sticks at that frequency is questionable.
Try lowering the memory frequency and see if the game stops crashing.
