I'm experiencing a weird issue while gaming where my CPU usage fluctuates significantly. It often jumps up to around 80% but then suddenly drops to 10% or even lower, and I notice a big drop in FPS during this time. This mostly happens with more demanding games. I've tried a few troubleshooting steps but haven't figured out the underlying problem. My specs are as follows: i5 10400F, RTX 4060 Ti, H510MH/E 2.0, and 16 GB of RAM.

Those temperatures sound pretty normal, but make sure your cooling system is working efficiently. Also, check if any background processes are eating up CPU resources while you’re gaming.
Have you checked your CPU temperatures and speeds using a monitoring tool like HWInfo? It seems like you might be dealing with thermal throttling, which can cause those spikes in usage and drops in FPS.
