Hello Assassinninja56.
A few things to try:
- Lower your graphics settings in-game.
- You could look into overclocking but that is something you only wanna do it if you know what you are doing.
From personal experience with a different CPU, I would say that you should give it a shot and customize your settings. Don't be afraid of going a little lower then higher.
Well, I tried putting all of my settings on low, and my CPU usage is still at 100%.. I have no clue why it is being used that much..
Hello again.
There is a few other things that can be causing it:
- Your Thermal Paste can be old.
- You can be experiencing issues with your memory.
- If you have downloaded something newly that you don't necessarily trusted, then that could have contained a bit-coin miner.
It's a exe that starts running and can be extremely difficult to locate and remove without a fresh install of windows.
This is something that can happen allot if you often download games or program.
Best Regards
I just installed this CPU about 2 days ago for this game specifically, thinking that this was a good enough CPU before the minimum requirements had been updated, so the thermal paste is very fresh. With my memory, I have been told that maybe I should upgrade to 16gb instead of 8gb to help with the memory leakage. My CPU does fine with other games and with the Bitcoin, is it able to only do it while the game is running..? Thanks for your help so far!
Hello again.
When it comes to the bit-coin miner things. I had a bit-coin miner that followed with a program I downloaded not to long ago.
And it made my computer "spaz" out when playing specific games. Like I said this is probably not the problem.
Unless you already have a program to keep an eye on your cores then I would refer you to: Core Temp
(Link opens in new window)
That program shows if you are utilizing all your cores.
If it only shows that we say 1 core is being used then that can be because the other ones are parked.
You can go into your BIOS and take a look, generally by hitting "Delete" when the appropriate screen shows up upon a restart of your PC.
You can also try to turn off "Hyperthreading" in your BIOS.
Something that could be tried as well is to set the exe in the Taskmanager to low cpu priority and see if that changes your current cpu experience.
Best Regards
