Was playing for a couple of hours and noticed afterwards that the highest CPU usage was 95%. Is this meant to be normal?

Yes, it is normal for CPU load to be near 100% when gaming.

I thought high CPU usage meant there is a bottleneck. I don't think my CPU is the bottleneck as it's been heavily OC'd...?

It's going to depend on if the game is more CPU or GPU dependent.

I think both bf3 and bf4 multiplayer are quite cpu reliable so it should be normal for that to happen, as long as it's not happening in other games then the usage would be normal

seems a little high my 3570k (4.3) with gtx580 would be at 60-70% typical, but peaking at 100% even is very possible.

It sticks around 70-75% utilisation but it went to 95% occasionally so I was just wondering if something was wrong.
