Hey all, Quick question.

I have a 5930K and have been monitoring the usage on my CPUs during various activities (Gaming, decrypting, etc)

I have noticed that CPU2 is barely being used, but all other 11 CPU are being used.

It is usually dramatic too. The other CPUs can be variable between 0 and 99% usage but CPU2 will be at 0-4%.

I've malware scanned and virus scanned with malwarebytes and kaspersky, Any ideas?

It's probably just windows scheduling being weird.

If you wanted to test it for sure, load up a benchmark and set the affinity to *only* cpu 2 (you can do this via task manager). That should force it to get loaded fully...
