Hello commnity,

i have a problem with my new rig and especially with my CPU.

My specs:
CPU- Intel i5 6402P 2.8 GHz (runing at 3.4 GHz turbo mode)
MOTHERBOARD-Asus H110M-C D3
GPU-Asus gtx 1060 OC 6GB
PSU-CM 650M

I have some strange spikes from my cpu when for example i am running only a browser (like chrome) or when i am playing a video game (like overwatch).

My temps are looking good around 30-50C for my cpu and about 35-55C for my gpu.

If anyone could help to find a solution i would appreciate it, i am posting in different forums and i can't find any solution about this.

Thanks and regards!!!

You have too many things running in the background. And, hopefully you do not have a virus running in the background. For example, there is no reason you need Skype or Google Chrome, among others running in the background, you can access those when you like without them running in the background - taking up CPU cycles.

By your screen shots it looks like you are using Windows 10 Home, if so please watch the following video and do as suggested. You may not want to do 100% of everything he says, however, you should do 95% of it. After that your computer will perform better and have more CPU cycles for what you want to do.

Do you get spikes randomly when doing nothing? Spiking isn't a bad thing when running programs as your processor is just doing it's thing. If the spikes turn into long periods of 100% usage for no reason then there may be something wrong.
