CPU Bottlenecking?


Recommended Posts

I have Z370 chipset with LGA 1151 socket and I5 8600 CPU; however, Task Manager shows I am using only 1 core when in game 3D. How can I make DCS use all cores?

 

Hmm, post a screen shot

My screenshot. DCS.exe affinity shows all 8 cores checked.

 

With your mouse right click on the CPU % utilization's graph, then choose "modify graph" (1st option) and then choose "logical processors" instead of global utilization.

You will see usage on all your 6 cores.

Got it. Thanks.

Given you have an 8600K it might be worth overclocking it - I have the same CPU and it is running happily at 4.2GHz without any water cooling etc.

I think he'd want the water cooling if he were pushing that lol.

Spoiler

Actually, he might not have a typo, the 8600k specs is 3.6/4.3 so a 4.2 AllCore oc on air is likely RL scenario.

 

 

I think...with some fiddling and a proper cooler, this thing will do 5G with no sweat, if the silicon is not of lesser luck
