Due to some hardware upgrades and limitations due to knowledge and software, I reinstalled Windows 10 on my desktop, while upgrading to some better SSDs that are now in Raid-0.
This was a simple enough process, and I was reinstalling basic software and eventually got to games. When I started playing them, I noticed that my CPU usage was much higher than it was before I reinstalled Windows 10. A good example is that I was running GTA V Online around 20-30% usage, and now it goes up as high as 60%. Open Broadcasting Software went from around 10 to 25% usage. The list goes on, but it's pretty universal for most programs. Is it possible I've missed some software related to my CPU that would cause this problem?
Previously used:
Windows 10 Home
Hard Drives: (boot) 80GB SSD, (storage) 2x 300GB 10,000RPM HDDs
Just installed:
Windows 10 Professional
Hard drives: (boot) 2x 500GB SSDs, (storage) 2x 300GB 10,000RPM HDDs (Same from original)
Everything else remained the same.
Intel i7-4790k
Nvidia GTX 980
16GB RAM @1600MHz
