Lately, I've been having some issues while playing Valorant. My CPU usage spikes to 100%, accompanied by a loud noise in my headphones and freezing problems. This is puzzling since I've never dealt with this before and haven't changed anything in my setup. Should I consider upgrading my CPU, or could the issue be something else? Thanks for any help!

You mentioned you’re using a Ryzen 3 3300X, which is a decent CPU. It might struggle with high-demand games if your other components are also under stress. Check your background apps; something might be hogging the CPU. An upgrade could help, but let’s see if we can optimize what you have first!
What CPU are you running right now? Knowing the model can help figure out if it’s time for an upgrade or if the problem lies elsewhere.
