xmf Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 (edited) I'm getting ~20% CPU usage and core temps ~50C with 2 browser windows open (one streaming video and the other not doing much, only a few tabs). Here are my basic specs:Win7 pro x64i5-2500K stock clocksM4 ssdgtx 560 gpuasrock z77e-itx board8gb ramThe system typically idles around 40C, I'm not sure what's going on here. No other apps running aside from firefox atm. Thanks Edited February 16, 2013 by xmf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagicAndre1981 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 run Taskmgr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xmf Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 run Taskmgr.Thanks, I had looked there, but wasn't sure what figure to check. I assumed it would be in the processes tab under CPU (as a percent maybe), but idle processes show 99 so my assumption is obviously incorrect.

MagicAndre1981 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 if nothings shows up, why do you think you have high CPU usage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xmf Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) if nothings shows up, why do you think you have high CPU usage?The CPU usage in Taskmgr as described in my first post. To clarify post #5, I am not sure how to determine which process is causing the high cpu usage. Edited February 20, 2013 by xmf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
