Anyone else have any idea?

Read the first post.

Yes i have been using the ini files from documents/my games/skyrim and yes i am running steam but i use SKSE loader.exe to launch

Didn't work :confused: I am using SKSE launcher, is it possible that it is not reading the edited ini files and using some preference of it's own? I could also post my ini files to take a look if anything is wrong with them?

I will update my chipset drivers to be sure. Also is there a specific way to add the multicore tweak? I just copied the data on the site and pasted it below the [water] section

What do you mean are all of my cores activated? For skyrim i think it's only using 1 currently and i've tried using http://itcprosolutions.com/skyrimguides/tweak_guide.htm#multicpu that ini tweak but i'm sure i did not properly set it up because it did not change anything.

My chipset drivers? they should be installed but probably not updated. Also would i have to update BIOS before updating the drivers? I have a GIGABYTE Z68AP-D3 if that info helps at all

I have not made any edits to my skyrim prefs or skyrim ini except for changing bDeferredShadows=1 to bDeferredShadows=0 in skyrim prefs. He added multithreading to his ini files and he is running still at around 35% cpu usage.

Hello, I have been having problems playing and streaming skyrim because of it's very high cpu usage. I have tried looking everywhere for people with this problem and had no luck. I have tried running a computer scan using 3 different anti virus programs to make sure i didn't have a virus using my system. This is the only game i am having problems with high cpu usage. I run quite a few mods but it should not be using 90-100% cpu usage. A friend has a i7 at 3.2ghz with mods on skyrim and playing and streaming only using ~35% cpu usage. He said it could be a problem with the game setting maybe in the skyrim.ini or prefs? Any suggestions or anyone have this problem?
