Hey all I’m not super familiar with Intel chips so hoping someone might be able to give me some advice.

I’m pairing the above chip with a AMD RX6700 XT which sits around 60% usage.

When I boot games during the initial load they will freeze for 5ish seconds.

However my CPU is sat at 100% usage (both are while gaming) and I’m trying to understand if I have a bit of a bottleneck.

At the moment I have 16GB or RAM but that will be going to 32 tomorrow.

And I know the i5 is somewhat old but reading online it should still hold up pretty well.

All of this is playing COD which I know is a CPU heavy game.

Task manager also looks good in the respect of programmes using the CPU

Any advice would be great!
