Wasn't like this before mid september.
Sir ArmaMalum1 votesFrom my understanding CPU activity will normally spike to 100% as your computer wants to finish things as fast as possible and use as much CPU as possible. It's when that 100% divided among all the different processes is still not enough that you can safely say your CPU is slowing you down.
Keep task manager up, look under the 'processes' tab and sort by 'CPU'. Play through a game and make sure your game client is the only thing drawing a significant amount of CPU. If something else pops up at the top of the list then that's your problem.

Sir ArmaMalum1 votesAhhhhhhh, yes, svchost CPU whoring. I've had this problem before. svchost itself is actually a normal windows .exe that is seperated out for redundancy. Unfortunately there are rare times when this executable spirals out of control.
First, restart your computer. If that fixes it, easy peezy.
If that doesn't work go here and follow the instructions. It looks complicate at first but I'll give you the tl;dr....
You need to figure out what service has the svchost running out of control. After that, if said service is superfluous (they usually are in this case) then you can disable it without harm. If it's an important service like windows firewall, the you'll have to run a repair on it and that gets a bit trickier.
