I have a I7 6700K, a GTX 1080, 32GB DDR4 Corsair Vengeance LED and an Asus Maximus viii Extreme. Is this normal to happen when i am playing this game?. I looked in Task Manager, and i saw the usage is high. Can someone tell me about this?. Thanks.

Completely normal for GTA V, Ashes of the Singularity, CS.GO, Overwatch, BF1 and many other AAA titles. BF1, GTA V and Ashes top this list.

You can of course occasionally enable individual cores to see how even the spread is.

They go up to 45C, i have Artic silver 5 put on for thermal paste, and also have an h100iv2.
 


Thank goodness. Congrats :bounce:. Recently I have seen too many people with Corsair H series AIO water coolers having issues. I usually blame it on mounting but in your case that is a B E A Utiful temperature.
