Hi
This issue just started today!..my cpu usage is higher than usual when I play games...no programs are open..I'm worried it's a virus..I scanned my pc and it's clean..cpu temp is fine cpu 7700k.
Any idea why this happening?
Thanks.

well if this has always happened or just recently but you are playing a different game from normal, i would say theres nothing wrong. it would be quite a smart virus if it only did virusly stuff while playing games but it probably wouldn't know that many games so therefore i think your system is fine. if still concerned you could try another anti virus like bitdefender but the windows antivirus is good too.
