when playing battlefield 1 beta my cpu usage gets to 98-100%, the temperature are about 40 degrees which is normal it runs smoothly at about 60 fps, its the only game that makes the cpu max out and I want to know if it can cause any damage (amd fx -4300 quad core processor)

Thar usage is alright, the FX 4300 is a very poor processor and not really suitable for a game like BF1. Cpu usage cannot cause any damage and your processor is running extremely cool.

As stated usage doesn't harm any pc equipment, temperature does. As long as you are keeping temps in check there will be no harm.

BF1 is still a Beta, everywhere you go, people are complaining about high cpu usage.
It's unplayable for all the poor people with i3 processors.

Lmao what I have a core i3 6100 with an r9 390 and I get 60+fps ultra 1440p it is very playable with an i3
The 4300 might be what's causing your issue. Yes it is a quad core processor, but the instructions per clock cycle it can take are much lower than that of a core series processor therefore a processor like that cannot keep up with CPU and gpu intensive games. If you are like me and pledge your allegiance to AMD specifically because of price to performance then get a 6300 at the very least but I would suggest AT LEAST an 8350.

Good to hear the new ones work fine.
i3-540 has a panic attack.

i5 6600 and 980ti I can max everything out at 1080p (including the resolution slider) and I sit right at 65-70fps
My CPU usage stays right about 85%-95% the whole time tho.

how will BF1 beta hold up on my 2500K (OC'd to 4.4)? Downloading it now. Gonna see how my PC handles it to decided if I should get the PC or PS4 version.
I have more friends on PS4, but gonna get the PC if I can play it on high and get 60 fps.

Yea hell my 2500k spare machine handles bf4 ultra 64 man maps at 4.4ghz no problem. Those are still bad a$$ little chips.

RX 480,
ran it last night, had to lower my OC to 4.2 to keep temps in the 60s, but the 2500k is definitely not bottle necking it. It was a rock solid 85-90 FPS before and after I lowered my OC.

i need to lower my voltage then. I left it at default which goes up to 1.361V.
That might be my issue. I think I have the same cooling system.

Yea i started my voltage off at 1.25v then think i got it as low as 1.20. There is a great guide in the cpu section as a sticky on overclocking sandy bridge cpu's

Ya, I will look up a guide.... I lowered it to 1.25 and it crashed as soon as I got to the windows screen, upped it to 1.3 and got some errors.
Changed it back to auto with turbo @ 4.2 and no issues. Right now the cpu is not bottlenecking me (even in BF1 it was not, lower overclock had no effect on FPS) so I am just gonna leave it there.

thats crazy. There are some other settings to change also in the bios but you should be able to hold 4.2-4.4 with 1.25 volts unless you just drew the short straw in the silicon lottery
