I keep having an issue where my CPU usage will drop under load (all games), then increase drastically which causes an FPS spike (presumably) rather than steady cpu usage.
This is in-game CPU usage:
Right in the middle there is a CPU usage drop (the end is when i quit the game). Temps look fine. I don't see the spike in my GPU usage.
What I've done:
Updated all drivers (including BIOS)
Checked for viruses/malware
Checked for heating issues (everything looks fine)
No overclocks on the system
Latency Mon checks look ok
Checked for parked cores, everythings unparked
Specs:
I5-6600K 3.5
GTX 1060 6gb
Windows 10 with current updates
16gb ram hyperX DDR4 2134
800 watt power supply (Corsair, cant remember the model)
MSI Z170A SLI PLUS motherboard
Check out this memory stress test on XTU:
Is it normal to see those small dips in CPU usage? I wonder if there is a memory issue or if there is some kind of power management in my BIOS that is slowing something down. My CPU core voltage is really low at times, about .900 and going to 1.1 during games, but I don't think that's an issue?
