So i got a brand new pc a day ago. i7 6700k GTX 1080 and 16gb 3200mhz ram. When i put my monitor to 144hz, doing the simplest of actions for example scrolling on a webpage, it makes my cpu spike to 50%+ usually spiking to 100%. This causes everything to lag including sound. And I don't know what to do
 
Solution
I do know that going to 144Hz, will force your GPU into a higher power state than 120Hz and below, i.e. not idling. Unlikely to be the cause though.
