So, I recently updated to a 3960x and tried running Rocket League to see how it worked doing something mundane. Upon doing this I noticed that the first two cores (which I imagine are actually threads) were pumping out a workload of 100%, making anything else I tried to do on the computer useless.
I tried running Battlefield 5 to see if it was just steam and not origin, and for a time I actually saw improvements. My CPU was stable, the 3960 was running at about 20% and utilizing all cores while running BF, Call of duty, basically anything other than steam.I tried reinstalling steam/RL and some other games and again, the CPU was stable and not using 100% of any one core.
But then at some point, it reverted, and now any program I use is using those first 2 cores to their maximum.
I have tried looking online to see if anyone else has this kind of problem and I'm not having any luck.

"core" 1 and 2 are at a higher use than everything else
