When i restart my pc and i disconect from the internet the cpu usage is 0 - 2% and the temps are normal, the problem is only when i connect to the internet the cpu usage rise over 50% and the temps as well.

okay. what cpu cooler are you using?
have you made sure your cpu hsf is fit properly i.e. no looseness anywhere?
if you put your hand behind the case exhaust fan, is the air hot to touch? 60-70c will feel noticeably hotter.

we still need a bit more details like what power supply, casde model, fan profiles.

check your cpu loads from task manager or microsoft sysinternals process explorer.

from preliminary info it looks like fitment issue with the cpu hsf.

The cooler is the original one, the one they gave with the cpu. The power supply is "Corsair-CX750". And the air from the exhaust is cool.
I will try do a format beacuse the problem must be in the software of my PC. The CPU usage is realy hight for and idle PC its over 50%.

are you using only speccy to monitor temps or are you running any other monitoring utilities simultaneously?

is the cooler fit will on the motherboard? check if any of the push pins are loose or if the HSF seems lopsided. do you hear any vibrating noise from the cpu area?

when you disable your internet connection, does the cpu load go down and temps drop?

when the cpu is exhausting 60c+ air, the exhaust air shouldn't be cool to touch.

The problem is solved. The CPU was overheating because of overuse. My CPU usage was stable at 50% and higher only when the PC was conneced to internet. I am not sure why it was happening , if it was a virus or a broken program but i did a format and everything now is fine. Thank you everyone for the help.
