File download spikes cpu temp - opinion
download causes high CPU usage.
So I'm currently downloading something on my PC, it is not using the internet. My CPU usage is at 99 when download it and my temps are at F and I have to downclock my CPU in the processor power management so it's running at 4GHz instead of GHz. Why is it using my CPU to download? It's indeed using my hard drive because that's always at 99 or disk usage. But why my CPU? What does my CPU have that my hard disk can't do by itself? Because I find it pointless that my CPU is even needed during this download. I have the i7 K.
